Nikon 750 or D810
Dec 27, 2014 07:21:51 #
I am looking to move from a DX to full frame. Currently looking at the Nikon D750 or the D810. Most of my shooting is for nature, scenic, and world wide travel. I have read most of the on-line technical comparisons but I would like to hear from photographers who have used both cameras and can tell me their impressions of the advantages ( the good points) and disadvantages (irritating features) of each one.

Can't help you as I own neither but there are a couple of nuggets here for your consideration. Personally, I think 24mp is the sweet spot.

I have a D810 and I think it is a fantastic camera. I have the holy trinity plus a Nikon 105G and I am very pleased with my selection. I have found nothing irritating. Good luck.

I also have the D 810 with the upper two of the trinity and the Tamron 150-600. I couldn't be more pleased. I shoot everything with it.

Well, I have neither of those, but I have used D800E (very close to D810 in most ways) a bit and own a D600 (very close to D750 in many ways) so I have some experience in nearby fields.
The pros of the D800E is the high resolution and good auto focus system.
The negative side of it is the size when carrying it around and large files when shooting RAW. The D600 is much smaller than D800, has very good image quality, can use all new and old Nikkor lenses and much more affordable to buy.
I was in similar thoughts as you last month. I was wondering if I should buy the D810 or not. After thinking about this for awhile I bought the Sony A7R. Now I have been playing around with that camera this Christmas and like it a lot. It has at least 4 big advantages over any full frame Nikon. Those 4 advantages or differences from the Nikon D810 are the reason I went for the Sony A7R instead of the D810.
1. Focus peaking which helps you focus manual lenses like the split focusing screen did on film cameras. But the focus peaking is just much more accurate and comfortable to use.
2. Small size, almost too small, but it makes this the perfect camera to travel with.
3. You can buy adapters to use almost any lens you want with this camera, including Nikon and Canon lenses.
4. "what you see is what you get" electronic viewfinder
Other advantages of the A7R include high resolution 36 mpx sensor, wifi, and adjustable screen and more.
The disadvantages that comes with A7R is short battery life, not as good high ISO IQ as Nikon D800E, no in camera flash, no in camera stabilizer, slow auto focus with non Sony lenses and some more.
Last but not least when you buy a camera you may consider the price. There is another advantage for the Sony which is much cheaper than both the D750 and D810.
Just added this here in case it might tempt you ;)

I have them both and they are really two different worlds. The 36MP sensor on the D810 is to die for if you are into the details, but it is a bigger, bulkier and much more expensive camera. The D750 is smaller, lighter, amazing in itself, and will do around 90% of what the D810 will do in the field.
From what you wrote in your inquiry I would think the D750 may just be the better match for you. But only YOU can really make that decision.
Good luck.

I have both - bought the 750 because of the articulating screen. Frequently take both with me as getting down is easy - getting up is getting to be more of a bear - can still squat a bit and bend over, thus the 750 comes in handy for those shots

I do not have both, but:
1. The D-810 is very QUIET.
2. As I do Landscape and no fast action shots, the speed is not an issue for my D-810.
3. Image size is great for larger prints maintaining full quality without the need for upsizing and manufacturing pixels.
