Your EM-1 Mk. II is technically a more advanced camera than the D750. Yes, the D750 has a bigger sensor in case you need to print murals otherwise with good glass it will not be possible for you to tell the difference between the image quality of both cameras. Yes, the low light advantage goes to the D750. AF is much better with the D750 also.
The size of the pixels in the sensor matters, larger pixels size means better gathering of the light. Some sensors do fine with less pixels and case in point is the Nikon D700 with 12 megapixels with a resolution similar to the professional D3.

This old dog wants to stay young longer by trying to learn new tricks.

But I know what you mean.

Three things, 1, low light capability, 2, ibis, and third and most important, menus that are written in english, not tech-speak.

But why replace? I do most of my photos with m4/3's, but I still have and use my De when I need it's special abilities.

The D750 has a spectacular and incredible Dynamic Range. I use mine all the time when I don't need really low light exposures (ISO >12,500). It's noisy at high ISO, but it's still one of the best Nikons for DR.

Both cameras aren't that far apart, the Olympus is smaller and has better video and faster burst but all things considered, I'd give a slight edge to the D750.

Thaz why to use not the same settings.

One of best things about m43 is DoF !

It really has nothing to do with teaching an old dog new tricks, I have a DSLR and a mirrorless. The way I look at it, mirrorless is just another way to take photo's, there are pluses and minuses for each system, personally, I like the feel of a substantial sized camera in my hand. I don't see mirrorless cameras as a god-send to photography like most people think and I'm as old as you are.

" ...... the question, 'How many times am

When I ask my own self, the answer is "more
often than not." And, I have never found my
750 showing less noise than my various m43
cameras. To me, 3200 is about midrange ISO
so any ISO still in the 5-digit range is a minor
bump up.

Here's ISO 4000 from a "middle aged" Lumix,
plus a comparison image from a D610 at only
ISO 640. The difference is visible, but is in no
amazing .... especially given the much lower
ISO. You pays you money and takes you pick.
And if FF Nikon is YOUR pick, then you'll also
have the "honor" of hauling it around :-(

FWIW, TWIMC, both head shots made at the
loooong end of their respective wide-to-tele
10X zooms. If you've never met a Nikon 28-
300 VR just be forewarned that it triples the
"honor of hauling it around". OTOH the 10X
zoom for m43 looks like it was borrowed off
an M-Leica.

Do you ever use the silent shutter on the EM1ii? Better google D750 quiet mode...sounds like my office copy machine in burst mode.

Yes it's much louder than a silent shutter, take notice that he holds the camera up against the glass which has an amplifying effect, so like most click bait you tube videos, you have to ask what's his motives.

True, but even without it being held up to the glass you could still hear it in the other room. Totally unacceptable for a lot of events. I shot my kids Christmas Progam this past weekend in a church...I would have gotten the evil eye from everyone (including the pastor) had I used that shutter. No issues with the silent shutter on the em1ii, and focusing was fine, even with the AF assist turned off. Rarely do I use the regular shutter anymore.

If I have no camera and you ask which one I would buy it would be the D750. You already have the EM-1 and lenses and although the D750 body is quite a deal you will have to buy the lenses. If I were you I would wait for the EM-1 MK III.

First news about the EM 1 X doesn't look good to me. The camera body seems to be a large as a full frame, but still a 4/3. I like the EM 1 mk II for it's small size. Actually I still have my EM 1 original that's even smaller. And I love both of them. After all the responses, I think I'll be able to restrain myself from purchasing the D750 :-)

The new E-M1X will still be much smaller than the Canon EOS 1DX Mark II which Olympus is targeting with the E-M1X. It will still be approximately the same size as the E-M1 mrII with the
HLD-9 Power Battery Holder attached. The E-M1 mrII is bigger that either the E-M10 mrIII or the E-M5 mrII and it does a lot more than those two. Even the Canon EOS 1DX Mark II is bigger than the previous Canon EOS 1D without the motordrive/battery holder attached. Sometimes to get something better requires a bigger package. And if it matches the Canon EOS 1DX Mark II in focus and exposure and cost half the price, who is to say it will not sell. The Olympus E-M1X will still out do the Canon EOS 1DX Mark II at 60 fps along with size, weight, and cost.
