Andy, there are reasons to use a full frame lens on a crop frame camera (I do it all the time). A full frame lens on a crop frame camera actually gives an image that is cropped versus using the same lens on a full frame camera, simply put if I put my 500mm lens on my D500 it gives me an image in size as if I used a 750mm lens on a full frame camera (the focal length remains the same but the image covers a larger circle on the sensor). This is primarily useful in wildlife photography.

I had understood that using the crop mode on any full frame camera gives you fewer usable pixels and a lower IQ than using a crop sensor body of the same generation. So you lose all of the advantages of full frame (except possibly low light performance) and don't gain anything. Am I wrong?

Since I entered the digital world, I've always been advised to use APS lenses on APS bodies and full frame lenses on full frame bodies.

I've "learned" many things in my lifetime that have proven to be wrong. But am I wrong on this one?

See my comment to Andy.

There are no disadvantages from using full frame lenses on dx bodies, however using dx lenses on fx bodies is a downgrade.

Anyway the people of UHH could share images using there d750? Im still on the fence. I was prepared to pick up the d7500 cause i had the funds. Now being recommended to buy 2 different cameras but funds are higher and making me think im gonna make the wrong choice and regret it.

At the time I bought my D750 (and I still have it), I did not realize that the D750 had one of those anti-aliasing (AA) filters built onto the sensor. I am reading that the images won't be quite as sharp as a camera without the AA filter such as the D810 for example. I now realize that this is not a problem for me. I once thot about trading the D750 and getting the D810 (without the AA filter) but I have now decided to keep the D750. My prediction is that you will not see any noticeable difference on a large computer screen if the same image was taken with a D750 and then taken with a D810. I think the trend now with camera makers is to do away with the AA filters but I am not sure about this.

After using D200 (2) for many years I got a D750 and haven't looked back. I does everything I want and expect it to do.

The D7200, and D750, both have two memory card slots, and a longer battery life. The D7500 only has one card slot, and a shorter battery life. The D7200, and D750, can be found used / refurbished, at reasonable prices....the D750 for about the same as the D7500 (a Full Frame camera for the price of a Crop Frame camera), and the D7200 for somewhere between half, and two thirds, of the cost of the D7500. The D7200, and D750, have a higher MexaPixel count than the D7500 has. The D7500 is a Crop Frame DX / APS-C format item. The D750 is a Full Frame FX model. I passed on the D7500, and have gotten both a D7200, and a D750, about a year apart. The D7500 has some nice features, but it's lacks are what decided me. I wanted dual card slots, and 24 MP, and that longer battery life. When I got the D750, I really wanted a Full Frame camera. Your wants / needs may differ from mine, and the D7500 may be the best thing for you...or it may not be. Only you can decide. You now know how I chose, and why. I now use the D750 as my primary camera, and carry the D7200 as a backup. They both take the same battery. I think you may be happier-in the long run-with a D750, but I could be wrong. Let us know what you decide.

The D750 is a great camera, as is almost every camera made in the last few years. It has great color, fast autofocus, and hundreds of good lenses. If you are looking for a dedicated video camera, then you might want to look around, but if you want a general purpose camera, you aren't going to do much better for the money.

I happen to prefer Sony, and lots of other people have their own personal preferences. If you get a good price on it, you can't really go wrong.

Why don't you rent one for a few days and test it yourself?

From the sound of your post, you already do! You might want to rent a 750 to see how you like it, then decide.

Another valid reason to use a FX lens on a DX body is for image quality aka "IQ". When an FX lens is used on a DX body only the center of the image circle is used. As we all know, or should know, that area is where all lenses are better corrected. You will have sharper corners and less distortion through out your photo

Rumor mill has it that the D760 will replace the D750 in a few months! That is what they explain the reduced price of the D750 on. Have not heard anything on expected improvements.

Go to my Website link below and tell me what photos were taken with a Nikon D80, D7000, D610 and D750. Photos will tell you everything about the photographer and nothing about the camera.

You are totally correct, tells you nothing about the camera. However if you had the same photo scene taken by each, you could then compare cameras. The only point is that some cameras are better than others for certain content (action, low light, color capture etc.) and it is important to get what fits your needs.

I’ve owned a D50,two 7100’s ,a 610, 750 and now the 810. What I learned is that technique, glass and the right light are what make great photos. Without those elements all those cameras can produce losers. With it they can all make gallery worthy images!
