Does anyone have both the Nikon D750 and the D810?

As far as large file storage is concerned, my solution to that is to store files only in NAS devices. I use Synology exclusively along with the higher end hard drives (WD RED PRO in my case). One big advantage of this is that I can access my files on BOTH a PC and a MAC without any conversion. Each drive is backed up with an identical copy, which is called RAID 1. Hope this is helpful.
WOW!! I had to look that up...I have not heard of NAS devices so that is over my head but I like the concept. Something to consider down the road. Thank you for that info!!!

Doing Macro as I do, I crop aggressively, a lot. Personally, I know that I would not be happy with anything less than my 800e. My 7100 is "capable of "more" resolution but, I seem to get "better" resolution with the 800. BTW, I bought a good used 800e to hold me over until I saved for the 810 ;) Thank you Mark7829!! I do crop so that is an excellent point!
Thank you for that!

Thank you for that!

Also, most of the latest images on my flickr page are with the 800e. Go to download and view the one smaller than original size.
The controls on the 810 are a bit different than the 7100 but, no big deal really :D Anther consideration is that the 810 is not a small camera, it's substantial but, I really like the feel/grip of it. My poor 7100 (which I love) doesn't see much action since I got the 800 :|
Having said all of that, you are the only one that truly knows what's best for whatever type of photography you will be or want to be doing. And you will likely venture into some areas you haven't even considered yet.

Hi Dodie,
To answer your questions about control differences on the cameras; there are differences, but definitely not any huge learning curve. I've had my D750 since November and the D810 since early July. The only two controls that still "make me stop and think" are the ISO button, located on the back of the 750 and on the top left on the 810. Also the OK button is on the back left of the 810 and in the middle of the multi selector on the 750. Neither camera was hard to learn and I came from some pretty old technology on the D200.

Thank you, Amy!!
It's good to know it won't be a difficult transition if I go with the 810.
I really appreciate your time and information!!!

I just recently switched from the D7000 to the D810. I still use the 7000 also but I love the 810. It's a very versatile camera and its built tough. The autofocus is far superior to the 7000. The controls are easy to use. I like them better than the d7000.

On the Mac, Quicktime is compatible with everything NEF, and I seem to recall once using CS4 with NEF raw files without issue on the Mac.
The Adobe subscription based system is extremely annoying, where Adobe officially thinks subjecting yourself to copyright violation via hackers is a good idea. You don't have to do it, of course. "Clouds" on the Internet are a bit iffy in general.

It really depends on what you do with the images.
Print very large or extreme crops the D810 is the ticket otherwise the D750 will handle it and may be a little better in some respects.

[quote=luvmypets]Thank you for taking time to answer my questions. Since you use both do you find the controls on the 810 more difficult to deal with? The ones on the 750 are very similar to my 7000.
I am sorry for being so long in answering.
I started with the 70s, went to the 200 then D3 and 300. The controls on all of these are rather similar to the 810. The 750's controls are quite a departure.
So, I've got about 10 or so years with one "type " of control and about a year with something, as I said, somewhat different. When I'm out with both cameras each with a different lens I find that I'm forced to stop and think rather than just automatically....
