I have used a D-700 since shortly after they were announced and was very pleased with it....I especially was impressed with the fantastic low-light performance of it. But...since then, I have bought a D-750...and then...since I felt that it has everything I need and/or could foresee needing/wanting, I bought a second one. Here are some of the, to me....important changes between the two models..
1...Much quieter shutter...it does not 'announce' that a photo is being taken. It even has 'super stealth' mode....shhh...!
2...It uses the much more available (and less $$$$) SD cards...AND...can accept 2 of them...backup/overflow, or movie or JPEG/RAW
3...I have gotten a lot of use out of the Wi-Fi link and the ability to adjust, trigger and view the image via an iPhone or iPad.
4...The articulated screen can be very helpful in taking both high angle and low level photos without excessive contortions.
5...The U1 & U2 options are simpler and easier to access than the 4 + 4 menus of the D700.
6...Single button access to Bracketing...no need to fumble around getting to this often-used..(in my case..!)..function in a Menu.
7...The "Focus Mode" button is much more accessible...its position in the M/AF switch makes sense.
8...Before I forget....it is a 24 Meg camera....these files are...in my opinion, the 'right' size.
9...I like the several minor changes to the back panel controls...a matter of personal preference, I am sure.
I shoot with 2 D750s for a couple of reasons...one is that since I normally keep a 17-35mm Sigma f2.8 on one body and a Nikon 28-300mm on the other, I almost never need to change lenses and expose the sensors to the environment, plus I always have the 'correct' focal length ready to shoot. It also give me great peace of mind to have the two bodies, just in case...although I have to say that in some 45 or so years of using Nikons, I have yet to experience a single failure....!
