I've bought cameras from them, too. I began buying car radios from them in 1980.

I have that combination and it has served me very well. I also have the 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 lenses, which are incomparable, but very, very heavy. The 24-120 lens is very manageable by comparison. That said, I'm in my late seventies and have recently gone to the Fuji XT-2 with Fuji 18-55 and 50-140 lenses. When the time comes for you to lighten up, if it does, keep the Fuji X-line in mind as superior in just about every way. You will enjoy the D750 a great deal, though.

While I'm not advocating that you make your purchase there, you might want to check Best Buy. While not all the stores will have the higher end Nikons in stock or on display, if you check individual stores on their website you might find one locally that does and could be relatively close.
I bought my d750 with the 24-120 lens there, mainly since I had more then half the price in gift cards. I also was fortunate to find a very knowledgeable sales associate to help me.
Really very pleased with both camera and lens so far, hopefully you will be also. Currently they have the body and lens kit priced at $2299.99 on the website.

My first choice is always to buy from my local camera store (Stewart's Photo, Anchorage) . . . If they don't have what I'm looking for, then I go to B & H to purchase online. . . .

I bought my D750 from B&H in May and just love it . It is a trusty place and you can get rewards with the purchase as well. Also, consider you can get a free tax price (and free shipping) if you are outside of NY. Before buying my camera I did some research about lens and I got the sigma 20-105 F4 -I have no regrets so far. It is a fantastic lens, well made, very sharp and versitile.

Enjoy your new toy and happy shooting

I am a big fan of Cameta Camera. (cameta.com) I've purchased several cameras from them. In one case, I ordered a D3300 and then sent it back unopened after the intended recipient went out and bought herself a D7100. I offered to pay a restocking fee and was told, "No. We expect some of this in mail order business. Don't worry." I bought a Sony a6300, maybe the first one they had in stock. It took terrible blurry pix. They took it back, found a wrong setting (Probably my error), but offered me another new one.

They are much smaller than Adorama and B&H and their service is more personalized. In fact, I usually just call them and ask for Enzo, my personal sales person. LOL.

B&H or Samy's. I've used both for many years.

I'd recommend Adorama, B&H Photo, Beach Photo and KEH.com (mostly used gear). I've also bought through Amazon Direct.

D750 is a fine camera. And the 24-120mm lens would be a good choice for general purpose, "walk-around" lens to use upon it. For landscape photography, you might want something with wider angle of view. And for indoors work, you may end up looking for a larger aperture lens (most zooms are f/2.8 max... so this might mean one or two or more primes instead of zooms). And for wildlife you're very likely to want a more powerful telephoto such as an 80-400mm, 200-500mm or even 150-600mm.

However, because you mention wildlife photography, and unless planning to put some serious money into very large lenses that will require a tripod, personally I'd not recommend a full frame (FX) camera such as the D750. Sure, it's great for portraiture and landscape photography, but for wildlife, sports and any other use where a long telephoto lens is wanted, an APS-C "crop sensor" (DX) camera can be a real advantage. And, unless you plan to make really big prints (say 16x24" and larger), you won't see much difference between DX and FX images. So a DX camera can serve those other purposes quite well, too.

For all practical purposes, an FX D750 (24MP, 6.5 fps) will require you to buy FX lenses. Yes, DX lenses can be used upon it, but if you do that it becomes a far lower resolution approx. 10MP camera, sort of defeating the whole purpose of buying an FX camera in the first place. FX lenses are necessarily larger and heavier than DX. That's unavoidable because the FX lens has to produce a larger image circle to fully cover the larger sensor of the FX camera. This generally makes FX lenses more expensive, too.

OTOH, a DX camera such as D7500 (21MP, 8 fps) or D7200 (24MP, 6 fps) allows you to fully utilize both FX and DX lenses... and your lens kit can be substantially smaller, lighter and less expensive. This even is the case when using FX lenses on the DX camera... For example, while I use another system, for sports and wildlife I often shoot with an easily handheld, $1300 300mm f/4 lens on an APS-C crop sensor camera. But if I wanted to use a full frame camera like the D750 instead, in order to frame small, distant subjects in the same way and have the same level of performance, I'd need to use a 500mm f/4 lens that's much larger, cost about 5X as much, and weighs over 8 lb., so would reduce my mobility by requiring a sturdy tripod for anything longer than a couple minutes of shooting.

Or, another way of looking at it.... A great wildlife lens like the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 would perform very well on a D750. But on a D7200 or D7500, it would be even more "powerful", "acting like" a 300-750mm lens instead!

There is a lot of hype about full frame/FX cameras. Folks have become convinced one is necessary to "make great photos". But that's a myth. FX cameras have slight advantages in certain ways... slightly higher usable ISO in low light conditions and possible a little more control over depth of field effects... but they also have disadvantages. FX images are better when making really big prints, too... simply because less magnification is needed. To make an 8x10 from FX means about 8X magnification... while from a DX image it's about 13X (assuming same cropping in both). But the advantage of this doesn't show up very much until big prints are made from both formats and compared side-by-side.

FX buyers and proponents sort of fool themselves, too... by viewing and evaluating their images "at 100%" on their computer screens. On a typical monitor, that's like making a 40x60" print, then viewing it from 18 or 20" away. While it can be helpful to use high magnification views when retouching images, it make little sense to judge them for detail, sharpness, the appearance of high ISO noise or even focus accuracy at such high magnifications.... since the vast majority of the time the actual, end-use of the image will be much smaller and much more forgiving of those factors. 33% or even 25% are a lot more sensible for most image evaluation, since most folks don't print much larger than 8x10/8x12, 11x14 or maybe 13x19 max. If the intended use of the images is online display at Internet sizes and resolutions, those are even more forgiving. In the end, the "advantages" of FX/full frame might only ever be truly seen by the photographer themselves, when they're looking at an overly-magnified version of the original image.... And those advantages will largely or entirely disappear by the time they have resized the image for it's intended use... which is how everyone else in the world will see the images. But based upon that overly critical viewing of their images, folks become convinced that they "need" the bigger, heavier, more expensive cameras and lenses to make "good" images.

So, it's up to you... For much of what you want to do the D750 would be a great camera. But for some things, it might not be the best choice.

I like Adorama better than b&h.

PaulBrit Loc: Merlin, Southern Oregon

Thanks good people for the continuing advice. I'm sure I will be visiting these pages once I have the Nikon in my grubby hands. Can't wait!

Jim49Char48 Loc: Hamilton, Ohio

My first recommendation is B&H in New York.

PaulBrit Loc: Merlin, Southern Oregon

Yes, that is where I bought the camera from.
