Hey Hoggers, need your expert advice again! My current set up is, Nikon D7100 Nikon 18-140, Sigma 17-50. Tokina 11-16, Nikon 50 1.8 and an old Nikon 75-300 that I am going to replace with a Nikon 300mm+1.4 tele. The wifey keeps bugging me to have her pictures sent to her immediately. I have tried the wifi adapter but it worked like crap so I sent it back. My thinking was to sell the 7100 and get a 7200, but then it dawned on me why not just get a 750? Will these lenses be ok on the 750 or should I just get the 7200? Thanks for any input guys.

The D750 has a DX mode; you can use the lenses you have in this mode but you will have a loss of megapixels (I've seen it noted as 10 megapixels in DX mode for this camera). If you're not just buying a D750 camera body, I'd guess you will have at least one FX lens to work with.

Hunt Photo was advertising the 750 body for $1499 this week. I’m guessing (without checking further) that’s a system wide Nikon discount).

Look up the lenses on the vendor web site or on B&H, Adorama, or Amazon web sites--they will indicate if they are DX lenses. DX lenses on a full frame camera like the D750 will give you much lower resolution images than they will on a DX camera. An FX lens, such as the Nikon 300mm f4 PF lens (a wonderful lens), will work fine on a DX camera. What do you expect from the D7200 that you don't get from the D7100?

The D750 will not give you better results when printing (unless you print very large prints) or when posting on social media web sites.

What the D750 WILL give you is noticeably better low light high ISO performance with lower noise.

Thanks Jack for the quick reply. What I need from the 7200 is mostly the built in wifi. I understand it is also better in low light and the buffer is bigger. So from what you are saying based on my needs and the lenses I have the 7200 is the way to go??

Ok all in for the 7200.Looking to trade in my 7100 to Adorama. Got less than 15k clicks on it. I could probably get more $ by selling but this is pretty easy and quick.

Have you looked at the D7500?It has an articulation screen unlike the D7200. Another option is the D500. It is also a DX camera, so the lenses will work without the cropping that occurs if you put them on a D750.

The screen on the D7500 is actually pretty sturdy and you don't have to extend it.

However, it is a touchscreen, and it works really well. I also like that you can use it outside in bright sunlight. Last weekend at the swim meet, I ran into a fellow Nikon user but with a D7200, so we had a chance to compare side by side. The screen on the D7500 is definitely more advanced than on the D7200 and as I said, it was much better in bright sunlight.

I also love the 8FPS shooting rate when trying to capture those butterfly strokes. And it has all the WiFi stuff connected to my Note 8.

I have pretty much the same lenses as you do, the 35 f1.8 and the 18-140. But I also have the new 10-20 and the older 18-300. This last one was the one in use last weekend at the meet.

Full frame is more pixels and bigger pixels, generally better picture quality and better for large prints. Non full frame will give a longer reach. is the 100mm lens is a 150mm lens. That is just the basics. Full frame lenses are generally more expensive and better quality. Full frame less will fit a non full camera but a non full frame lens won't fit a full frame camera. If you go non full frame you may want to buy only full frame lenses so you can change in the future if you want with out having to star over with the lenses/

I can't vouch for Snapbridge. When I had my D7200 I had no issues using its WiFi, I could adjust af with my phone or iPad. With Snapbridge on my D500, most of the time it won't even connect. Another thing to consider.
