Just a quick question, anyone buy a D-750 recently it seems everyone is out of stock and I'm ready to take the full frame plunge . I called Nikon and they told me there is some kind of a problem that needs to be addressed. I went to best buy last night to purchase the camera they told me they had two in stock but could not release them.........

Nikon discovered that there was a flare problem in a very large percentage of the D750s, so they recalled them all and are correcting the problem before putting them back on the market. Last I heard they are saying about a month.

Also, Hood lenses do not mitigate the issue fully.
Because the sun needs to be out of frame and in a thigh angle.

No, my understanding is the problem occurs with the sun in the frame (see below).

Are you saying that the problem is more extensive?

I think you misread.
In these shots, the sun is NOT in the frame. its right outside the frame (thus with the thigh angle makes the light bounce in the AF module, thus the "flare" is cut down harshly).
The flare cutdown effect does NOT affect with the sun is fully in the frame.

Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LynWn0DvdO0
note that the sun is NOT in frame. the Flare is and is cutdown.

also, it does NOT affect only Sun shots, it also affects any strong light in a tight angle, while outside the frame.

Thanks for the clarification.

Still, not need to worry now.
All D750s are going to be repaired for free if I remember correctly.
And all unsold D750's are being recalled and will be re-released in fabruary.

I still wonder if they will put the AF shield like in the D610.

*edit*
forgot to mention that other cameras are affected by this issue as well.
The D750 just has a more pronounced "cut off".

Adding to your "tight angle"; The light source seems to need to be a point source like the sun and it has to be real close to the edge of the lens without being in the frame. In other words, almost a very precise set of circumstances.
Since most users will not be shooting under those conditions and the ones that do will make it a rare occurrence, the "problem" is not of major proportions. Kudos to Nikon for taking steps to correct it though. And before someone else brings it up, it appears that they learned from their past mistake (D600)

Agree!

Its still curious how some D750 can show the flaw so easily, but other models dont.
And the difference in the examples of affected cameras and unaffected cameras seem minimal!
