Hi - shooting a wedding soon with Nikon d7200 & some good glass. Will I be sorry I didn't shell out for a FX d750 with one lens? I'm on the verge but haven't jumped $$$

Hi GinnaA,
The D7200 would be a great backup to a D750. If the shoot is really important then having a backup camera is also important. You didn't mention flash unit(s). Shooting a wedding without flash is definitely possible but can be limiting. You know the environment better than I do but often church interiors do not have the best natural lighting. Take care & ...

I do have studio lights and flashes. Well I was wondering if the main camera could be the d7200 and d5300 backup.

Hi GinnaA
I have a D7000 (similar button arrangement to D7200), D750 and D5300. The D7000 & D750 both have similar button arrangements and are easy to work back & forth between them. The D5300 is a great camera and I love it but I have to stop and think each time I use it to remember how to get to the different settings. If you work back & forth a lot, you should have no trouble. Good luck with your wedding and let us know how things turn out and what you decide regarding the D750. Take care & ...

I have a second photographer using the d5300 so that would have me using the d750 & d7200. Trying to justify if it's worth the cost. I know I will upgrade to full frame eventually. Thanks for your input.

How new are you to photography and what do you know about shooting weddings? A wedding is not an easy thing to shoot and it is a one-of-a-kind thing that cannot be redone. Do they have a photographer and you are just doing it on your own?

If this wedding is your excuse/incentive to get a 750, go for it. If your second shooter is using your other camera, its not your backup. Do you have shoemount flash and flash bracket?

Maybe, maybe not. Too many variables to provide a meaningful or useful answer.

Have you considered renting the D750 for the wedding? Get it a little early so there are no surprises. Ask if you can rent with the rental going toward purchase if you decide to keep it.

It depends on if it is a paid job or a family deal. I will not contract with family. Screw up one little thing and they are still family, and they will remind you of it forever. If someone else is the paid photographer, I will experiment and give the photos as a gift. If it works, they are super grateful. If it doesn't, they don't need to know. I won't experiment or use new equipment on a contract.

Well I did purchase the Nikon D750 one week before the wedding - NOTE - the design is exactly the same as the D7200 (just moved info button on top). There was no learning curve, just beautiful pictures. Oh and the wedding pictures turned out great! (even though lighting could not have been more challenging). This was not my first wedding.
Thanks to all
Thanks to all

Hi GinnaA,
Good for you. I sure love my D750 and the darned thing will focus in almost total dark (not quite but almost total dark). Have fun with it. Take care & ...
