I agree 100% with Jerry. I love my d750. Who knows if Nikon will put any more technology in the 700 line as mirrorless are in production. I would buy the 750 again and save some green greeny. They may indeed release a 760, but at what price? If the price was substantially higher than the 750, I would consider the 850. I always look to same some green. Spend it on glass.

Of course Nikon will be replacing the D750. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHEN. NIKON RARELY ANNOUNCES OR INDICATES AHEAD OF TIME THE SCHEDULE OF A NEW MODEL.

Talk is cheap. The D750 replacement will not be. If I wanted one, I'd buy it today. The new model will cost at least 25% more than the D750, but will it offer anything you really want that the D750 doesn't have? The D750 is a great camera at a realistic price. How long are you willing to wait to pay more for a camera that may not offer substantial improvements?

MOST of the time when Nikon introduces a new model their is LITTLE difference in price. The D4, D4s, and D5 were all priced at $6500. The D7000, D7100, D7200, and the D7500 were all priced about the same when they came out, certainly not a 25% increase in price.
All most companies do is up the software and firmware in the camera's and make a few body changes (not many) so production lines do not have to be retooled much if at all. This costs little and most folks want the latest and greatest so all companies do well with new models (in general).

From my post earlier in this thread
"The D750 is a fine camera with an equally fine reputation. A replacement might have some new bells, some new whistles, but it won't take any better pictures. If you need a new camera, do you need it now? if so why wait. Your end product won't be any better."

I doubt it. DSLRs are slowly becoming an endangered species because the mirror limits things like focus coverage, internal vibration control, and frame rate, while making the camera more complex, heavier, and more expensive to produce. Nikon needs to rapidly get into mirrorless full frame cameras. That takes a lot of money because a full frame mirrorless camera line is totally new to Nikon. If Nikon tries to develop mirrorless and DSLR cameras at the same time, they will fail at both, because they don't have enough money to do both well.

Nikon like any other successful business is constantly investing in new products. On August 23rd they will ‘officially’ announce two new mirrorless cameras. To suggest that they will abandon the rest of their lineup or not offer improved models shows a lack of business acumen. They and their competitors all know they need to offer products at as many levels as they can if they wish to remain a viable force in the industry.

I had heard rumors about the D760 last year before the blockbuster D850 came out. Its arrival, pretty much dwarfed any talk of the D760. And the D810 was reduced in price. The new D760 was supposedly to be equipped with the same 36 megapixels sensor as the D810. And to have 4K video, with dual memory card slots to include one XQD card. If that is the case, it will be a full frame version of the D500 with more megapixels, IMO. The D750 has been around since 2013/2014, so an upgrade I'm sure is in the making. I never thought the Nikon Bridge camera, the P900 would be upgraded. It has been, with the soon to be released P1000.

I did not suggest Nikon would abandon the sale of DSLRs, only their development.

Nikon announced its last 35mm film camera, the F6, in 2004. They produced their first full frame DSLR, the D3, in 2007, and the D700 a few months later. Notice the pattern: they continued to sell 35mm film cameras after they introduced their full frame DSLR, but stopped film camera development before they were in DSLR production. When you have a new, superior technology, you don't waste development funds on the old technology. To do so would reveal a lack of business acumen.

Note that the P900 and P1000 are both mirrorless cameras.

I don't know of any replacement, but I have had a 750 for several years now, and it is a marvel of camera technology and usefulness--i don't see how you can go wrong with this camera!!

What I'm waiting / hoping for is a D750 without the AA filter! That would be camera nirvana!

These are Bridge cameras with a fixed lens. The P900 has a focal range to 2000mm, and the P1000 has a focal range to 3000mm. I never heard of them as being addressed as a mirrorless camera, such as the Sony mirrorless cameras. Or other brands, such as Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic.

This is a serious question, I know that "they" say that removing the filter will give sharper images, how much sharper? Can it be quantified? Are there samples, actual side by side from the same sensor?

This might help.
