I think the tilt screen is a valuable feature on any camera.

If I were going to spend that much ona camera, I would read as many reviews as I could. If so done buys one, he is unlikely to tell you that he doesn't like it.

If your primary interest is in shooting VIDEO, perhaps it would be.
For those who are NOT, and are mainly going to be shooting stills, it is a useless feature, except for those times when you are taking those ground-level or over-your-head shots, but how many times is THAT happening?

VERY often for me. I am generally not fond of LCD screens but it would be better than laying in the mud to get the perspective I want (as I have done too many times ;)

Depending on how I'm dressed and what ground conditions are like, I'll just hold the camera down there and take a dozen shots. A moveable LCD can come in handy.

The tilting screen is much more valuable than those who don't own one or don't use it might think. I much prefer the fully articulated screen of the D5xxx line and am waiting for the FX camera with it. Some of the uses I make of it:
1. High angle shots (over fences and people's heads)
2. Low angle shots (don't have to lay on the ground)
3. Group selfies (doesn't work with tilting; only with full articulated)
4. On my telescope
5. When taking upwards star photos such as of the milky way
But you are welcome to close your mind.

I also use the tilting screen in some of those situations and find it very useful.

One nice thing about the swiveling screen is the way it will fold in facing the camera and be completely protected. My son's D5100 is like that. He usually has a black panel with "Nikon" showing, rather than the LCD.

Yes those are good points! I have an articulating screen on my m4/3 camera and I use it for composing high/low shots, also it flips out and reverses so it's useful when taking group shots including self, using a tripod.
I miss being able to that on my D7000. But it's not something I can't live without, especially if it makes the camera bigger, heavier and more $$.

I have had my D750 for 2 days now. I have used the D7100 for about a year. The very first thing that I noticed was the difference in the grip, the 750 grip is taller and deeper, my pinky finger does not hang off the bottom and the finger tips have a bit more room before bottoming ou against the body. I did not like to handle the 7100 until I got a battery grip, I don't feel the need for a grip on the 750. One small negative for me is the smaller led on the top, there is less info on it, instead, it shows up on the tilting display. Probably not a big deal as I was needing glasses to see the top display.
I do plenty of time lapse and bracketing for HDR, and in those areas the 750 comes out ahead.
The AF is very nice so far but I have not put it to the test while shooting BIF. I will be able to do that next weekend.

MT Shooter, you don't find the auto focus on the D750 to be worth the extra money over the D610? I don't do video, but I am looking to move to FX for portrait work over my current D7000.

Yes I do if you are looking for a first FX body, definitely.
Is it good enough to dump a D610 just to get a D750? Not in my opinion.

I currently shoot the D7000 and I'm getting into portrait work and was looking to FX since the popular vote is there is no replacement for displacement.

This will be my first FX body and as soon as prices begin to lower I think I'll get it.

You can get a medium format film camera body for less.
