Help with the differences and similarities of the Nikon D750 vs D810
Jun 23, 2016 19:16:55 #
I am looking at purchasing one of these cameras. I have a 35mm f1.8 prime, an 85mm f1.8 prime and a 55-300mm f4.5-5.6 Dx lens (kit supplied). I want to go for full frame, really could care less about video and don't want any suggestions that compare cost. I would like to know the real differences comparing these two cameras. I am not new to digital, used to sell to Hallmark, American Card, and Backpacker Mag but with film using a Nikon N90s and Velvia or Provia. Now I am back to doing lots of photography (because I am retired) with all subject matters but especially the Rocky Mountains since I live there, so any unique qualities in comparison would be very appreciated. Thanks for any help possible.

Use DPreview comparison side by side to see the technical difference.
Programing features are also slightly different.
This maybe the best neutral advice you will get.

Both are highly capable cameras. At one time I owned a D800 and a D750. The D810 has more pixels, but the D750 is faster and more flexible. For me the big difference is the menu system; the D810 has the 'menu bank' system for saving and recalling groups of settings, the D750 has the 'U1 and U2' settings on the mode dial for more rapid, but simpler, switching. I preferred the D750 arrangement.

If your main goal is landscape, 36mp vs 24mp = D810. This should be a no brainer.

You're an experienced photographer so you know well about cameras. I think the best way is to read the specs from Nikon website. Read the review from DPReview but don't take the reviewer opinion just the information about the cameras. Download and read the manual. You should be able to determine all the differences. It takes time but I think that's part of the fun. (it's fun for me but feel sad after learning all about the cameras I can't afford any)

I think the D810 edges out the D750. The d810 is billed as a pro camera the d750 as enthusiast camera.
As a suggestion rent one of each body before making a purchase.

Both cameras are great cameras.
However, I prefer the D750.
There was a time when I was seriously considering to buy the 810 but was advised to drop it by one of nikons premium brand ambasadors who told me yo get the D750 & use the price difference on some premium glass.
The low light capability if the D750 is amazing. I tested this camera for a nikon dealer in the middle east & bought the camera a week later. I shoot sport & wildlife
I dont need 36mp of a 810 to make a print to cover an entire building. Besides although the low light capability is decent when compared to other cameras, it is not even close to the D750.
This is my opinion based on my experience.
For other comparisons, google is your best friend.
Enjoy your camera & passion. Find something that suits your requirement & purpose.
Good luck.

I love the D750. When the D800 came out, I had no interest in it, getting a D600 and later a D610. One thing I don't like is have two different kinds of cards - SD and CF. Read some comparisons.

I just went through this. Had a D300s and D700 with a bag full of FX glass. I shoot landscapes and scenics. I picked the D810 because the menu banks are similar to the bodies I was using. I use BBF and the 810 has a dedicated AF-on. The burst rate is OK. In DX mode, it drops to 15.7mp which is more than the 12mp on the D300s that I sold. 36mp in FX gives me great latitude for cropping. I waited for a demo and paid C$2,650 from a Nikon dealer for a body with 15K actuations, mint in box. The D750 is ok too, but more of an advanced hobbyist unit.

You seemed to have the comparisons covered.
I too dislike having two different types of cards in a camera. I wonder what possesses designers to do that?

First of all, your lenses are all DX (APS-C) Sensors and not a Full Frame Sensors. The D750 and D810 are Full Frame Cameras. I would not recommend using a DX lens on a Full Frame camera. If you will choose between the 2, I will get the D750 due to price difference and still you will need a FF lens. Just an advice.

I am a teacher of photography at the college level. Both cameras are really good with the 750 having a few more bells and whistles, the 36 mp that the D810 provides allows you to find the image within the image, crop and enlarge to an exceptional print. You are too far from the wildlife or landscape, crop in tight and enlarge. The DR on the D810 is at the top of them all at 14.8, the base ISO at 64 again lower than all others, reduces noise and gives you unparalleled clarity. At 36 mp you just have more information in your images. You can purchase the D810 or you can wait 2 months for the D850 which likely will be at 45 mp and many other features with as an even lower base and upper limit ISO and 4k video. I know you were not interested in that ability but having that option is just a bonus.
Good luck.
Good luck.

For me it was a very simple answer. For sports get the D750. For landscapes and portraits get the D810. More pixels means better ability for panoramas, HDR and landscape in general. My solution was/is a D5 for sports and really low light and a D810 for everything else! Hope this aids your decision.
