I am in the process of doing the same thing, but I'm moving up from the D50. I have read a ton of articles on both the 750 and the 810. The 810 has more pixels, and a higher expanded ISO range(but who ever use ISO that high?). The 750 has low light capability to -3Ev where the 810 has only -2EV Supposedly the AF works on the 750 even in near dark conditions. The FPS are essentially equal at 6 and 6.5, but with a battery pack the 810 can expand to 8 I believe, while the 750 can't. The 750 has wi-fi built in, the 810 does not.
Like you, the really big difference I see is the pixels vs the low light capability. Currently Im' leaning to the 750, as it saves $1K which can be used toward FX lens. I plan on keeping my 3 DX lens and D50 for back up and crop mode use.
Here's a link to a site with links to multiple reviews on each camera:

Any questions? :idea: :shock:

I couldn't agree more, an it goes to show exactly the kind of person he is.
:shock:
Thanks for all the input. I learned much from the responses and had confirmed some of what I was already thinking. The thought on upgrading the lens first and then buying the camera made a lot of sense, as I believe the key is the photographer's skill, then the lens and last the camera. Still I want to look at the Canon as I know the weight does make a difference: I was an Olympus OM-1 guy back in the day! And the comment on the printer was helpful as well. I'll likely go with the FF as I tend to crop a lot (probably could use with composing better!) Thanks for all the responses.
New to the board, but I have lurked for a while.
I've had a Nikon D50 for 8 years and I'm about to retire. Seriously thinking of upgrading. I have these lens: Nikon 55-300 AF-S f/.4.5-5.6G ED VR DX: Nikon 55-200 f/4.0-5.6 ED Dx and Nikon 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-S. I shoot wildlife (mostly birds), landscapes, and family vacations, grand kids sports etc. I'm thinking it would be fun to do to large format printing, even up to 24 x 30. I've looked at the Nikon D7100 and the 810 looks interesting. Knowing myself well image quality will be important. All comments are appreciated, including those on comparable Canons which I've not explored yet.
Thanks in advance.
