If I was a lot younger, I would be inclined to do the same - switch to Sony.

Before committing to the Nikon 24-70 (there are 2 flavors - one with VR and one without VR) take a look or test out the Tamron 24-70 G2 series which also has image stabilization at a much less cost than the Nikon cousins.

I'm 72 and in the middle of making the change... I absolutely love my A7II, A7RIII, A6300 and A6000 along with the Zeiss and Sony/Zeiss lenses that I have accumulated with them. I plan to add an A7III and more lenses as time goes on.

There was a time that I was very fond of my D500's, DF, D750 and D810 and all the gear that went with them, however, my fondness is waning as I use the Nikon gear less and less in favor of the Sony gear.

I will turn 75 shortly but I have cancer. Last fall I did trade all my Nikon DX gear (D7000 and a mix of DX & FX lenses) for a Fujifilm X-T2. It's a great little camera because it is light in weight even though it is nearly all metal. So that leaves me with a D750, Tamron 24-70, Tamron 150-600, and a Nikkor 16-35 N, VR. I really need some sort of macro lens and now I am leaning toward a macro that will fit the Fuji X-T2.
Just curious. Why would you add an A7III to your collection if you already have a 42MP A7RIII (which does not have an AA filter).?? My tendency would be to get the A7RIII and be done with it.

Hello I purchased my D750 in December of last year upgrading from crop sensor to full frame (D7100). The price on it right now is spectacular you can't go wrong. Sorry I cannot comment regarding the lens as I do not own it. I also own a D810.

The D750 is a great camera. I absolutely love mine.

I had one and loved the IQ untill it broke with the shutter problems. Nikon fixed it but I sold it shortly after, but the new ones should be ok.
I think the biggest bargain in FF right now is the Pentax K1 or K1 II. I got one and love it

I have had a D750 since they first came out. True, there was an early firmware fix (my camera had no problem before or after fix).

I use it with Nikon's 28 to 300 mm zoom, and couldn't be happier.

I think the D750 is Nikon best bang for the buck and with the sales going on right now it's really is.

The Nikon D750 was not introduced until 2014 so it is impossible for it to have been recalled in 2006. Please don't confuse the OP with erroneous information.

Jesus. Relax and realize it was a typo not "eronious" info.

The 750 had 2 shutter recalls mine was fixed before I bought it on Nikon refurb the black dot middle of the tripod hole bottom confirms its fixed. Bought mine w/ the lens the 24-120 f4 is a good product the previous vet had issues (ken Rockwell) get a copy "mastering the Nikon d750" Darell young to find out how much you didn't know about settings etc. I have had mind about a year no regrets.

I have owned and used D750 extensively for over two and a half years. I also have multiple Nikon lenses: 10-24mm, 20mm, 50mm, 28-300mm, 24-120mm, 105mm, 18-200mm, 18-55mm, 55-200mm and a Tamron G1 150-600mm. I did have some problems with my camera body and landed spending ~$500 in repairs at a Nikon authorized repair shop in town, which resulted in two wasted out of town trips. Other than that I have been very happy with the camera and the lenses. Instead of the Tamron, I think I would have been happier with the Nikon 200-500mm lens. Tamron first generation is a soft lens, not as sharp even after returning to Tamron for fine tuning. Hope this helpful!

The comment about 'aging technology' has me confused. Does that mean it can no longer take great pictures?

To me aging technology is a perfect fit as I celebrate my 70th birthday today. I bought my D750 used for $1250 3 months ago with about 30,000 shutter activations. Love the camera!

Because I plan on selling my older technology A7II and want to maintain two full frame bodies. It was a toss up between an A7III and A9.
