Excellent answer.

Own it, love it. I'd suggest David Bush's book, Nikon D750. It's 542 pages that makes the manual come to life, not only with what and how, but often with why for the various settings. That may be too elementary for you, but check it out.

I do not own one but I have used the D750 and it is a fine tool. I use a D610 and I am delighted with it. It does exactly what I need from it.
The D200 is one of those cameras that used Nikon first generation colors, pastel like beautiful colors that I like so much. It has been an excellent camera. It has an APS (cropped) sensor so the lenses for that camera I would not use with the D750. The 24-120 f4 VR lens will give you excellent images if you do your part. I have never used one but I have seen beautiful images made with it.
Read the manual of the new camera and take notes. Practice with it and understand what it can do. Your AI-S lenses will fit but you will be using them in manual focus. If you have used manual focus before there will be no issues and the manual will tell you those lenses have to be programmed into the camera to be recognized by it.
Enjoy the new camera.

Started getting paid for photos in 1972. Had nothing but manual focus. Actually, thinking back, I have never shot professionally with auto-focus. Many hours with Nikon F, F2, F3 FM2, Nikormats, Hassleblads and Lumedynes...all manual. Still have them all, except the Blads, with 8 of my Nikkor lenses being prime.

These two shots were taken with my D750, three years ago. I love this camera and sometimes favourite it over my D5 and D850.
You will be impressed with it's capabilities. Have fun.

I am not sure if it is covered in the manual, but you can turn face detection / eye detection on in the menu under Matrix Metering. Then if you put the camera in Auto Area AF, then face detection will work on AF-A, AF-S and AF-C.
I think it will also work in Group AF, as long as you are using AF-S.

Same thing, went from D7100 to D750 with the 24/120. Still use the 7100 for grab and go family shots but for serious work I break out the big boy. First outing with the 750 was Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Zion. Stunning photos! Enjoy!

First, congratulations on your purchase. Second, with digital, the advantage is that you can see your results right away. My advice, shot at least 2000 shots a week for the first month in every possible setting including exposure compensation, and watch your results in the rear screen. Adjust as you go and you will be surprised at how much you will learn in a short time.

Hi Vic. The D750 performs well in low light conditions and is compatible with most of my lenses. D850 appears to be more particular, in that category. When shooting family shots, 24 megs is more than plenty.
The pop-up flash is handy, in a pinch.
But the biggest factor is that I don't worry as much about theft or accidental damage to my D750, in certain situations. When I went to Austria last year, I took the D750 and left the big guns at home.

I found Mastering the Nikon D750 very helpful. It goes through every setting with the rationale for preferred settings.

The Optech sling strap is my favorite. As mentioned before Optech products are great.

Please give back button focus a try. I think you'll love it. Be sure to learn the difference in function between 'hold and release' and 'holding it down'. Also remember to tell others about it if you have someone else take a shot. If they don't know about it the picture will likely be out of focus.
The flip up screen is great for taking shots from ground level, like reflections in a pool of water.
