But you don't HAVE a 750 do you? And will the 810 elevate "everday ordinary photos" to a higher level over the 750? Wow, that 810 must be one hell of a photographer!

Also for weddings in certain situations it will be handy or 1.2 crop and 6 fps.

Right! If the bride and groom are fast runners, you want to be sure to get them dashing from the church to the car. :D

If you're leaning toward the D810, and you wind up getting the D750, you'll always have that nagging feeling in the back of your mind. Get the D810 and keep your eyes open for a D750 refurb - some day. Of course, you could always wait for the D850.

For me, this would be an easy decision. For sports work, the D750 would be the much better choice. Simply, it's quite a bit faster than the D810. For max MP, the obvious choice is the D810, but for an all around, my choice would easily be the D750. As a D4s shooter, I don't miss the MP and I believe the D750 is closer to it. The D4s, in my opinion, is the BEST choice for sports hands down, no deference to Canon models. My second choice is the D750, which I am also considering purchasing. Best of luck.

^^^The D4s has better image quality than either of the top 2 Canon professional models. AND it's less expensive. ;)

I currently shoot with the D7100. Looking to upgrade to either the D750 or D810. Money is a factor. How many out there use or would buy the D750 over the D810. I mainly focus on portraits, landscapes and sports.

The previous posters have all stated the pros and cons of each camera as they relate to compatibility with your current user interface, price point, and capabilities for various shooting styles and subjects.

I'm a Minolta/Sony guy, but I can say that they have all given you great advice, and honestly, you CAN NOT go wrong either way... especially since BOTH use Sony sensors. :mrgreen:

GOOD LUCK!

I'm not waiting for the 850 (next year) lol. Think I'm going to get the 810 because it's a little more well rounded for what I want to do. Thanks for the push.

In native resolution the 750 is 1.5 frames faster than the 810, and because of its larger pixels, has lower noise at high ISO - about a one stop advantage.

Yes I know this is what kept me jumping back in forth at which one to get. I've been weighing the odds of which one so much it's driving me crazy. But at 1.2 crop it's the same megapixels w/o the aliasing filter. In Dx it's 15 mp vs 9 with a filter. I plan on us I.g the crop features. If I didn't I'd hands down get the d750, that's a no brainer. I think for insects and macro I want the extra resolution too.

It's more like having the sharpest full frame and the best Nikon DX in one package. Best dx because of the frame rate and buffer capacity. Well I hope all this discussion through me has helped the OP out. Good luck with your decision because talkin n it out with you guys has helped me seal the deal in my mind.

I bought the D-750 as an upgrade from the D-600 only for the better focusing in low light. The image quality is very close in both but the D-750 low light focusing rocks. If money is a factor, for portraits and sports the D-750 is great choice for landscape the D-810 is a better choice. Is it a $1000 better choice when money is a factor???? BTW the D-7100 is a very good camera and if you only have DX lenses and money is a factor, hold on to your hat! Are you married? You will want your spouses input on this.

I have a D7100 , a D3, and a D810. Still Love my D7100 as my everyday camera. The D810 I save for special photo shoots.

we all laugh at the dude with 3 D800s so he doesn't need to change lenses but i know how he feels.
All my bodies are good enough that i just grab whichever one has the lens i want on it and get torked off if i have to reach in the bag to switch lenses.

Many jobs are made much easier by using two bodies, and some work well with three. My neck used to have a three camera limit, but as I age, it has been reduced to two!

Definitely. I sometimes have a tele on one shoulder and a W/A on the other, using an OP/Tech double strap.
