Hi everyone
Long time no talk. I travel and take around 3 to 4 trips per year. Take lots of pictures on my d610 mainly using the holy trinity when I travel. Am tired of constantly changing lenses and fear of an accident. As a second full frame, should I get a 750 or 810. The price is not a consideration. Am going to Iceland in May to shoot pictures with Muensch photo tours. Would love to hear what everyone recommends

If weight, size and price doesn't matter go for the 810.

I hear the files on the 810 are very large and clog up your hard drive. I want to get the most out of my lenses and cannot handle constantly changing lenses anymore. Will mount the 70-200 2.8 on one body and the 24-70 on the other with the 14-24 as the swing lens.

If price is not a consideration why even debate it? D810 all day long.

I do not understand the fear of large files that I often hear over the d810. Seriously, hard drives are cheap! As are DVD and Blu-Ray burners. Don't let the file size be the deciding factor, especially since the ones from the d750 are not small themselves.

I went from a d700 to a d810 and I love the d810. However, you might prefer the d750 because you'll find the controls in the same places as your current camera. You'll have less of a learning curve. That could be a good reason to go with the d750 vs. the d810. But me, I want every mp possible, hard drives are cheap.

This review ranks the 750 as an equal or better than the 810. Am now more confused.

I love the learning curve. Just want a camera that I will be happy with and not say I should have gotten the other

I don't see how it could be better. It has a few different features - the tilt view screen and wifi. But it has less mp.

You could use the price difference to purchase a lens you don't have though.

Personally, I would go with the d810 if money is no object. I don't care about wifi or tilt screen, but I do want as many mp as possible, not for printing but for cropping.

There is no lens I need or want to purchase. I just want to get the best picture quality out of them. I will be purchasing a nikon 1.4 teleconverter for my 70-200 2.8 for my Iceland trip and a tripod, but that's it

You'll love the D810.

I love using the holy trinity and especially the 14-24. How does it work with the d810?

How does the d810 operate in low light conditions and will it do well in a place like Iceland at night shooting the midnight sun and northern lights?

Or, you'll love the 750. For me, 24MP is more than enough. The articulating screen is very handy for high angle "hail mary's" and low angle shooting, also I agree that similar layout and ergonomics make learning the controls easier. Finally, I like the smaller size and lower weight--anything that's easier on my aging shoulders & neck.

If you want a camera that looks, feels, and produces images of almost identical quality to your D610, with the main differences being a better autofocus system, and an articulating screen, buy the D750.

If you want slightly better low-light performance, and arguably one of the best portrait and landscape cameras Nikon currently makes, buy the D810.

I have the D750. If I was in your position, I would probably buy the D810.
