D750 (Page 3): Good advice! I love my D750 but have not been as adventurous as I would have been if I were younger. So two good tips for me to try.

If you use the .jpeg files out of the camera, you might want to go through the picture controls and increase the sharpening to level 6. Nikon sets the default sharpening very low at level 3.

Replaced a D7000 with your exact setup. Wow! I can capture lower light images now that I just couldn’t before. Lens is terrific, as is the camera. Great choice, IMO.

I use OP/TECH straps on everything. All their parts are interchangeable, and they disconnect quickly.

Jerry, thanks for the tips about the OP/TECH straps. I need to look into this. could definitely use the wrist strap.

Often fellow members will post, "You should have saved and purchased the D850," citing better specifications. Well, I have a D750, and due to GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) purchased a D850. (I kept the D750.)
Based on my experience, the D750 is still a amazing camera. And unless I plan on printing larger than 11x14, I can not tell which camera was used without checking the EXIF data.
So feel very good about your purchase, enjoy your new camera and remember, go out and take some awesome photos.

Bought a couple of spares as recommended above. Not only have I not lost another one, I found the original against all odds!

OMG, this is my story too!

Here’s a tip from a recent experience. I was taking pictures at a graduation. I wanted to capture the perfect pose as the graduate was walking down the aisle, so I had my camera set to Continuous High shooting. At that setting, the buffer on the D750 fills up after 12 pictures when shooting in RAW. After about 2 seconds, I was standing there waiting for the buffer to empty. I realized that shooting in Continuous Low at 3 or even 2 pictures per second would have been adequate, and I could have shot much longer before the buffer filled up.

I have the D750 (and D7100). You made a great decision. I use the 750 with a 24-85mm f2/8-4 and a 70-200 f/4 zoom, and love the results. BUT, do try it out with whatever primes lenses you have. I use it with a 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm (macro). You will be blown away by the results.

I bought what I wanted, I like the extra reach on the lens I have.

I do too. And the 24-120mm is a great walk around lens. Good choice.

I made the switch from d7100 to d750 in February and I continue to be awed by it. I got the same lens and I think it will serve me well in all but some nature photography. I decided to add the 70-300 because it is light and affordable. So far....fantastic! I feel like I need to take all my trips again! As for tips, I took John Greengo class on the d750 offered at CreativeLive. He is a great teacher, IMHO, and I’ve gone back to check certain things often. I found the class is much more accessible than the manual. Enjoy!!!

Congratulations on the D750! I picked one up late last year when Nikon put it on sale along with the free battery grip. As others have noted, there are many resources available online. I found this link helpful as well. Have fun using your new camera!

I love my D750 and I know you will too. It takes some amazing low light images. Get to Steve Perry's web site and read all his info if you haven't already and buying his ebooks is well worth the money. No, I don't work for Steve, but I have learned a lot from him. Have fun!!!

There is a dedicated ISO button on the back of the camera, bottom left side.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the links and the book recommendations. Just bought a D750 and the 24-120 kit lens last Friday. It's my first foray into digital - I come from the b&w 4X5 world. Hoping I can at least come close to matching the quality I get from a 4X5 Tri-X neg. And, heck, this thing even captures COLOR! Not sure what I'll do with THAT. :)
