Regarding your cropping...Are you making large prints of your crops? If you are just using your shots as digital displays the IQ of the 750 will be fine.

I'd post some heavily cropped bird shots to show you the detail on a cropped 750 image but i'm not on my home computer.

Thanks, that helps. I don't do many prints at all, mostly viewing ftom my Flickr account on the Web. And I'd love to see some of your "heavily cropped" bird shots! Thanks again.

Shortly after getting the D800E I did an informal comparison to my D7100 with the same lens cropping the FF image to a comparable size.

I sold the D7100 and never looked back.

Granted the 750 and 7100 are a closer match but there is a lot to said for clean images.

Thanks! That's the comparison I'm looking for between the d750 and d7200.

If you go with the D810 you have 36mp so you het the best of both worlds. In crop mode 24mp and the better FF sensor for low light.

Now that is an interesting option... a bit out of my price range, tho... unfortunately...

When using lenses on full frame and cropped sensor cameras that result in the same field of view you get more depth of field with the cropped sensor camera. That might be one thing to consider.

Photographer Neil van Niekirk did an excellent article on the topic at this website:

Interesting article. Thanks.

Based upon what you shoot, I would recommend the D7200. It's cheaper; the crop factor provides inherently greater reach. If you are cropping the 70-200 on a D7000, then you should consider adding a 1.4x teleconverter to the 70-200. You will still get good results from the D7200.

On the other hand, if you want better image quality and better low light performance, then the D750 is the better choice. But it's going to cost. DX lenses will be fine for the D7200, but if you need fast lenses you will need FX and they are better suited to the D750. The cost of FX is at least twice that of DX (cameras and lenses).

If you do want to go FX, you can easily use the 1.7x or 2.0x teleconverter with the 70-200 lens and get results as good or better than the D7200 with 1.4x TC. I've not been pleased using these TCs on my D7100; I prefer using the D750 and cropping if I need to.

Thanks. Good info to consider.

Ask yourself whether you're in a situation to afford FX glass if you go FF.


Yes, I think that is the question that will ultimately drive me to stay with DX... Thanks.

Maybe I'm out in left field. The 70-200/2.8 is a FX lens. When used on a DX body, you would effectively have a 105-300 lens. If the OP is cropping heavly on the DX picture, the OP would have the crop a lot more to get the same result.
Or maybe I just misunderstood the whole thing.


Don't think you are out in left field, I'm just trying to get a sense for how much cropping before the advantage of FF goes away... Thanks.

That is only true if you are using the same focal length lens on both cameras. A 300mm f/4 on the FF camera will use all 24MP of the sensor and give you equivalent performance to a 200mm f/2.8 on a DX camera, plus have the better low light performance that the larger pixelsites on the FF sensor provide (about 1.4 stops).


Makes sense. Thanks again.

You can shoot the D750 in DX mode to get the same point of view as a DX camera, but in DX mode but you only use approx. 10.3MP of the sensor. With a D7200 you use all 24MP of the sensor. So, the D7200 should provide better detail, especially if you plan to crop the images further.


Thanks! So, do I understand correctly that for the most part, the advantage of the FF sensor goes away once you start cropping the image? Thanks again and apologize for the multiple follow on questions...

Well with your D7000 you cropped down to 2/3 and when you use the D750 with the same lens you would have to crop down to about half in order for you to have the same view. Since you crop images from the D7000 (or D7200) then you don't really use the FX sensor at all. You use a portion of the sensor which is even smaller than the DX sensor.


Thanks!

If you are going to crop a lot (which according to what you said you do) then the D7200 would be better.


Thanks. May be a stupid question, but what is considered "alot" for cropping? With my D7000 I routinely crop down to two thirds or so of the original image... Would that be considered alot?

I have read a whole bunch about these two camera bodies, but I haven't been able to find an answer to my question... I currently have a D7000 and shoot some night high school soccer games and lots of family/church events (inside and outside). I am thinking about upgrading at some point and am wondering what the impact of using the D750 at night soccer games would be. I currently use a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 and normally crop a bit for my soccer pics. If I take a shot with the same lens on a D7200 and a D750, I understand I would have to crop the D750 more in order to end up with similar pictures. My question is would there be much difference in the image quality of those two pics with fewer larger pixels from the D750 vs. more smaller pixels from the D7200? Probably most of these shots would be at something like 1/800 @ f2.8 or so. Hope this makes sense and thanks for any help or thoughts...

I use Flickr and it works well for my purposes. Free and 1TB of storage. Others can view without registering for an account, but they have to register if they want to comment on a photo. It also is real easy to export/publish to Flickr from Lightroom...

I was just looking through my D7000 manual and didn't find the AF fine tune. Could you tell me where it is? Thanks


Page 246 in the manual. I'd also Google it to find lots of info about how to determine whether or not your camera/lens needs AF Fine tuning (It can be done for each lens and the camera remembers the settings for that specific lens). And there are several methods out there that can help you determine how to determine the best settings (Dot Tune is a rather easy and free one and there is a good video on You Tube). And there are some paid methods as well. Hope this helps.

Hi Tomglass,

I don't know if it has the AF fine tune ability or not. I am still learning all the in's and out's of the camera. I have had the camera since last August and love what it does so far. Where would I look to find that out? I still have the manual, plus two other books to learn how to use it. One of the books is a "Dummy" book. Those books are pretty good at explaining things. If I fine tune for the Tamron, would that mess up the AF for any other lenses, such as the two kit lenses? I constantly am using the camera for projects, so I don't want to try something and have it mess up something else. Any advice would be appreciated. I like the Tamron for its versatility in not having to change lenses, but am not willing to sacrifice image quality, and will stick with the kit lenses. I just don't understand how on my daughter's camera, she doesn't have a problem, but on my camera, it's more of a hit and miss as to if the shots are soft or not. The kit lenses work fine and so does the 1.8 lens. I especially like the 1.8, just wish it zoomed. And it bothers me too, that as much as the lens cost, that there is any kind of problem at all. If I can't figure out how to AF fine tune the lens, if there is one on the camera, where could I go to have it done? Would it be expensive to have it done?
Hi Tomglass, br br I don't know if it has the AF ... (show quote)


I don't think the D5000 has AF Fine Tune. Sorry... not sure what could be done by a Nikon service. But before I did that I would do some testing to determine if that was the problem or something else. Maybe if you could post some pics here, folks could take a look and help determine the problem (if you do post, make sure the check the "(store original)" box so folks can see the full pic and the data). sorry I'm not much more help...
