Your best bet...youtube. Search for Nikon D750 tutorials. Yeah, there are some pretty bad ones, but there are also some very good ones.

I am thinking of trading in the 610 for a 750 so when you are able to make a good comparison please let us know your thoughts.

LennyP4868, I found the material in the Nikon manuals difficult to grasp and so I purchased "Mastering the Nikon D750" by Darrell Young. Excellent reference. Very easy to follow. And I also bought Rob Sylvan's book titled: NikonD750 From snapshots to great shots. Got both thru Amazon. What I like about the Darrell Young book is that the book is organized in the exact same manner as the camera's menu. -FiddleMaker

I was a Canon man, shooting with the 6D, decided I wanted to go Nikon, yeah, I know.....expensive to switch brands! My first Nikon was the D610, was not really happy with it, went with the D7200. It was a great camera, but I wanted to get back to full frame, so, got the D750.....I will not be buying any more cameras, the D750 is an awesome camera, and very affordable. It gives, IMHO, professional results at an enthusiast's price!

I bought David Busch's book on the D750 and found it extremely helpful. He organizes it in layers, so you get a good overview first then more detail. Plus, if you don't understand something, you can email him directly and he'll answer you!

One of the nice things about Nikon's many models (and I would assume Canon as well) is that many controls and functions carry over. Once you learn the system, you can easily become familiar with any camera in the line. Best of luck. FWIW, I also agree that the D750 is a premium camera at a bargain price.

Creative Live has a great Fast Start course with John Greengo that is excellent. Also, I swear by David Busch's manuals for both the 750 and 7100. I have other manuals as well but always seem to turn to David's for the fastest, clearest answer.

I have both A 610 and 750. I set up both with back button focus. With the 750 can set it up so that when in aperture priority the rear wheel changes ISO settings and the front wheel changes aperture. So now when I am out on the street I can use back button focus to compose, change aperture, adjust ISO and then press to shoot when ready all without the camera leaving my eye.

I tried changing the ISO selection process but went back to the default. To each his own.

On my D800 I use "easy ISO" when in non-M mode (i.e. most of the time). Then the thumbwheel controls ISO and the front wheel the other thing (A, S, P). Don't know if 610 or 750 have this feature.
In M mode I usually use auto ISO and, of course, the two wheels control aperture and shutter speed.

there is no comparison. the 610 is a chevy and the 750 a caddie. I used it now for 2 days, much better sensor same as in the 810 and much sharper
