Well worth the look
What a fabulous story as well as breath-stopping photos!!
Thanks to all of you for your generous and exciting suggestions! I'll let you know how it goes!
I'm going to Kuaui in April and would appreciate any suggestions for photo ops
Also I've never flown with my camera gear and plan to carry it in my backpack. Any tips about that?
Thanks!
Apropos of the iPhone reference, I have seen those pics enlarged many times so as to reveal deep grain and shadows. They are stunning. They were made with an iPhone 6, which purportedly has the best camera yet for iPhone. Therefore arguments against iPhones can only legitimately be made by those who have this latest version, seems to me.
Apart from the wrangling, I enjoy these conversations because I learn pointers from people more experienced than I --which is why I like this site so much. Thanks to you all!

A particular need/use demands the FX 28-300 lens, I could work with either body but personally prefer the layout of the 800 series bodies. Also, the higher pixel count provides for better enlargement which is major influence on choice.
A separate purchase will be the 16-35 f/4 (that may come at same time as above)
750 will be a future purchase for my wife and her (now primary body) 7100 will become her second body. Buttons on 7100 & 750 reasonably similar. I would like to bundle the 750 with a 24-70 f/2.8 but it more likely will be a 24-120 f/4
70-200 would be the alternate bundle/choice with the 750 and the f2.8 or f/4 decision will be made at time of purchase.
If we have good fortune I will seek a second body and that will bundle with whichever (above referenced) lens is still missing from our shared inventory.

I have the D810 and the 28-300. It's a great combo and covers many needs!

Very fine shots in motion!
Thank you soon much for posting this!!!
Dear Hoggers,
I want to thank all of you who responded to my question about upgrading either to the Nikon D750 or the D810. Your comments were all very salient and helpful.
In the end, I went for the D810, and so far am quite happy with it.
Ironically, after all our discussion, by decision was made on two things that hadn't come up: I loved the way the 810 felt in my hand, and I loved its quiet click! Go figure!
Thanks again.
Robert
PS, BMWs have been enough of a challenge --same wavelength !
Thanks for your very realistic questions!
The one about the computer handling 36mb RAW files I don't know how to answer; can someone help me find the answer--I'm using an iMac less than a year old but how many gbs is ever enough?
The lenses yes; the lady--who can say?
As for GAS-- how could you tell ?! 😎
Thanks for the cold sober challenge!!
Thanks to all of you for your very helpful comments and suggestions. I wondered before I posted my question whether it would be a worthwhile discussion and now I really see how many factors need consideration which is why I had trouble deciding. Now I'll try to take it all in and make a decision. Seems to me I can't go too far off with either the D750 or D810; each has its own merits and limitations. Thanks again to all of you for the generosity of your responses.
Dear Hoggers
I want to upgrade from my Nikon D5300 to either the D750 or the D810. I have two related questions: strictly from the pov of camera capability it seems the 810 is a superior camera in terms of mp and low light. Is there any reason to choose the 750 instead, other than cost and the tilting screen? I'm interested in landscape, nature and people shooting.
My second question is, whether to sell my D5300 and Dx lenses or keep them.
All feedback welcome.
