I own both the D810 and the D750, and I'd say it's a matter of horses for courses. I mostly use the D810 as a studio camera. Image quality is awesome, and the size and weight are not a problem. The D750 for me is more for general use. It's more feature friendly, and as others have said, parallels the D7200 in its features and controls. Both cameras can be rented for hands-on experience, which might be an option to consider. The smaller file size of the D750 is a benefit on older computers. Objectively speaking, I would say the D810 is the superior camera, but I tend to use the D750 more. I hope some of this helps.

I've brought my Fit to the dealer for a couple of recalls, and when I got it back, I got a page with check marks for all the things they checked for free - like the pressure in all the tires.
I get one of those each time I have my Avalon dealer-serviced. Everything is conscientiously checked off, all tires, even the spare. I've had to dig out that spare when the pressure warning system lit up, and it was no easy chore. I promise you no mechanic has set eyes on it.
As to oil changes, I'm old school. I have it done twice a year, spring and fall, regardless of mileage.

I sent my D750 in for the recall service today. I'll report back when I hear anything from Nikon.
My experience with Nikon recalls (and I have a lot of experience) is that they provide quick turnaround . . . if they have the parts on hand.
Got an email that Nikon Service has shipped my D750 today. That's less than 10 days turnaround time.
I share very little unless unless I'm shooting portraits. A lot of my photography is more about exploring technique or problem-solving -- how best to make the shot or get the effect.
70 years old. Took up photography after I retired. I've been more interested in building a basic skill set than in playing with the gadgets. That being said, I appreciate the array of features my cameras and other equipment offer. There's always something new for me to learn, and it's fun to see how the more experienced use what I may not. I will never test the limits of what the equipment can do, but others have different needs and applications. I'm happy the technology can serve so many and such diverse needs.
And I don't do video -- yet. Seldom explore the upper regions of the ISO -- yet. Probably look like a newbie much of the time. But I'm having a ball in the process.

Roger Cicala published a test article last month on the problem with cheap filters.

I've bought two Nikon D7200s, refurbished by Nikon, from Adorama in the last 12 month. Had no problems with either.
They have a 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy.

Nikon dropped camera prices and added a free Nikon battery grip during the winter holiday season and again before a Father's Day. The company seems to have the promotions when gifts are bought for men.
That's been my observation as well. I would expect another round of promotions during the Christmas season.

Today marks 6 weeks without any sugar. I've stopped eating meat and dairy also. No caffeine, no diet soda. Walking first and now running six miles every day. I plan to make this my new lifestyle. Completely vegan, gluten-free, caffeine free and sugar free. I also work out each day.
I don't know whose status this is, but I was really proud of them so I decided to copy and paste.
I tried doing that once. It was the longest 4 hours of my life.

After 20 years I finally decided to re-join the photography world and buy a new DSLR. My choice was a Nikon D3300 bundle from an Internet store. (might not have been my smartest move). I like the camera and have had fun relearning how to use a SLR again. I have had trouble with focusing the Tamron 70-300mm zoom. Now the lens will not zoom and the macro/normal switch will not move. I've only had the camera & lens for 2 months. I've email the company I bought the system from and Tamron. Have not heard from either one yet, but it's only been a couple of days. Has anyone had trouble with this lens and is there a fix?
Thanks

Sorry to hear you're having equipment problems. I own the Tamron 70-300mm, and it's been trouble-free in my experience.
Tamron's Support website has detailed instructions for requesting warranty service. You might like to check that out.

And you can find a copy of their warranty statement as well.

I have another cure for GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). It is poverty, before the purchase or after.
I can identify. My own cure is called "regret."
Made enough mistakes buying expensive gear to be much slower with the plastic.
I also rent things I'm curious about, quick relief from GAS.

You never regret buying quality, as my dear departed mum used to say; "you enjoy quality long after you forget the price". . .
This is the crux of the matter for me. I own a lot of glass. Much of it I seldom use, but every time I think about selling something, I dig it out, slap in on a camera, and rediscover the reasons I kept it. I've even bought back lenses I later regretted selling. Every lens has its own charm, it's own magic. I don't think you can go wrong with either of the two lenses. I have them both, and I can't imagine letting either go.
