I am looking to add to my gear. I am looking for a camera for basketball, great on noise. I have Nikon gear so I was looking for comments and suggestions on maybe a Nikon D750 or D5. The 500 just isn't getting it done.

I tried some high school basketball shooting of granddaughter and a foreign exchange student living with her. The school district does not seem to feel a need to spend money on bright lights!

Might the only choices be a new lense with a wider aperture or shooting with a high ISO? Maybe both?

Not going to work. I am shooting at iso 5000 to 8000 and the noise at 100% is terrible. I shoot with a 70-200 2.8 24-70 2.8 still not the quality I am looking for.
Thanks for chiming in.

You may need to change some parameters but the D500 is supposed to be one of the very best for indoor sports. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/buying-guide-best-cameras-for-sports-and-action

For outside football, soccer, etc. it's a great camera, but not inside with high iso.

D850 and Topaz Denoise if you are serious. I have both and the results in low light conditions are the best I've seen for the money.

When it comes to sports, I only shoot Rodeo, the light is usually excellent. I have used a D750 for that and successfully for low light as well, a good camera, but likely not as good as the D5 or D500.

How is the noise with the 750?

Looking for something recent / low light so you can judge for yourself. Appears I have been using several other cameras more lately.

Thanks Quixdraw
