mostly through reviews and I think they favor the d750 because of price, the d810 does not offer enough extras to justify the extra cost. other than that, it would be a personal preference. the d810 has more pixels, but that is not a factor unless you are printing top quality posters, in my opinion.

If it's a fixed focal length lens it will be the same in FX or DX mode just a cropped image in DX mode. If it's a zoom lens and you use focal lengths that result in the same field of view such as 24mm on cropped sensor and 35mm on the full frame then the cropped sensor gives more depth of field for the same aperture.

you will lose pixels in cropped mode.

I'm not a pro; but in using my 750 for the last two days, I've found my depth of field to be better. In one picture of a rose, where I spot focused on the core, the outer pedals were starting to blur so I had to change my aperture from f/4 to f/4.5 to correct the image. I never had that control on my D7000.
I am happy to see you really like your D750. I have talked to many Nikon Reps and they all agree that this camera is one of the best (out of the box) cameras that Nikon has made recently.

You are saving $$$ for sure...and you will love what you see with FX
Buying used if done with care, is a great way to actually have the FX equipment you like,..now.
We have such wonderful computerized gear at our disposal today as compared to years ago,...I am amazed at the endless features built into our cameras whatever brand or model.
Most of us photographers use equipment that far exceeds the uses we put it thru anyway.
If you think about it,...the best done images we all see today,...are likely taken with equipment that probably has the same or less capability than the camera we have in our bag.
Technique accounts more than any equipment's bells & whistles.
Over the long run I think,..unless you are an active professional who depends on or uses the many of the newer built in features to fulfill your shooting work load,...although nice if you like and can afford the latest and greatest,...most of us don't actually need it.
Not pouring water on the fire here,...just thinking realistically,..after all what we really want to be doing ,..is be out there using the camera and lenses, exploring its capabilities and our vision.
Best of luck in your decision and most of all have fun shooting,..that's what it's all about.
Bragging rights are for the final images you create.
I enjoy that challenge and growing in the process as best I can.

For a first FF I would go with a D750. The 810 is a bit fussy and you might be disappointed..... you will also need a LOT of storage. Just my 2 cents.

Don't forget the 810's little brother, the D610. If you don't need all the bells & whistles of the 810 or 750, the 610 at 24MP takes some awesome shots and is by NO means a slouch. It'll do everything I ask it to do.
Plus the price is right for a FF camera.

Not sayin' do and not sayin' don't...
But.... exactly what do you think an FX camera will do for you?
That should be your first question. Then you can decide on budget and model.

How does the cropped sensor camera compare with an FX camera when used in DX mode, with the same lens mounted?

The cropped sensor cameras have more MP on the DX area. Most current ones 24 and the new D500 20.
D8xxs have about 15 and the D750 and D6xx about 10.
Lens doesn't matter.
But you pay for the MP with more noise at high ISO.

Look at a Nikon D610 used for $500.00 and under on eBay.

Lens doesn't matter??? Use a fx lens because the lens does matter

I love my D750 a good bargain for the money right now and much more manageable files and the D810.

Most of my land scape photos are enlarged to 12x18 and 16x20 or larger. I like the higher mega pixels my D800E gives for larger prints because at the time I'm shooting multiple shots at various settings, I know there will be one favorite that will pop for a large print. I would look for a used/refurnished D810 if I were you. I had to get a larger computer to handle the file size but I have never regretted it. Be sure to purchase a good/great lens to compliment you full frame camera, or you might notice you have defeated you purpose. :thumbup:

Buy all you can afford🙂 I have the 750, my son has the 610 and I have a good friend that shoots the 800. All produce great results and we are all satisfied with our choices.
