Have you been shooting with DX lens on the D90? If yes, then you will be investing in FX glass because you are now going into full-frame. So how much do you want to spend and then how much can you spend?

Only you can answer which is better for you. Find a local camera store and play with each model so you can make your decision.

Both great D850 is where I’m heading but I think there will be some good D810 deals in the soon future as well as D750 due to the release of the D850 all depends on your budget can’t go wrong with either

This was discussed at length yesterday and over time here at UHH. But, that said, both camera's are very good. I have owned both and still own the D810. If it were me (and it is not) I would go with the D810 simply because it has not had the shutter history that the D750 has had and a much higher pixel count. And the D810 is on sale now with a free vertical grip included, which, you can sell and help reduce the cost of the D810 even more. As is the D750 and the D500.

I work for a studio in SC and we just replaced our D7100s with D810s. Bottom line....... one great camera. You won’t regret the purchase

Welcome to the group. I use and LOVE my D750 but based on what you shoot (events & family) I think a D7200 or even a D7100 will serve you well. Any of them will be a major upgrade from the D90. You didn't mention video. If that is a concern then I definitely prefer my D750 over the D7100/D7200 for that. Take care & ...

The D810 hands down. I use mine for action Nature, some landscape and some portrait. You can blow your photos up to the size of your house if needed. We just returned from the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque and the camera did a spectacular job in low light as well as bright light. The sharpness in all modes of photography is incredible.

Concerning D750 shutter release recall. Mine was finally recalled after 3+ years. I had noticed that occasionally it made a bright exposure even though all the settings were the same as photos in before and after the bad one, even when I did a burst series of shots at the same time. This might occur once in 4,000 shots but might occur once in 300 shots occasionally and then recur. It probably did it 50 times. But Nikon replaced the shutter mechanism. That is good because mine already had over 90k exposures on it. They also cleaned it completely, inside and out (including cleaning the sensor). All for free. So if you are thinking of buying one and it is used, ask the seller if it has been serviced for that issue. If not, go to Nikon and see it's serial number is on the "recall" list. I'd buy it and send it for the recall. It took 7-10 days max to get it back. Now it is working & looking like new except for some scratches I had made on the body. It has not repeated the problem, but I have only shot about 2,000 exposures since the recall repair.

If you have DX lenses do not expect that you will be better served using those lenses with the D750 or the D810. If your skills as a photographer are not producing now photographs that make you entirely satisfied because of the quality of the files you should not expect that the new camera is going to make you better. A camera is only a tool. New cameras have lots of technology but technology does not take pictures, we do.

Before you jump into the full frame wagon I would like to suggest that you evaluate your needs. Do you really need a full frame camera in your photography? The new DX bodies, like the D500, a camera I have not used, has very good reviews and the "old" D7200 is still an excellent body with enough technology to please anyone and the price as a refurb or second hand is very attractive. Both cameras will accept the lenses you are using now with the D90 which means to me that you are saving money on lenses. Indeed, with the money you are saving you could buy another lens you could be in need of.
Quality wise I did not see much of a difference between a D800 and a D7000 when using the same lens.

If you want to buy a full frame body nobody will stop you. Just consider if you are making a wise decision.

Welcome to the Hog, enjoy.

I had both, now have the 850. If you have the budget get the 810, wish I hadn’t sold mine, would make an excellent companion to my 850. The 750 just lacked the sharpness I got with the 810. Good glass is essential with any high megapixel camera so lens selection is critical with any of the aforementioned models. Good luck, you’ll love any of them for what you use your camera for.
