Best Nikon D750 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals & Sales 2020:

The Nikon D750 is not the most affordable full-frame digital SLR in its category, but it undoubtedly offers one of the best quality / performance / functionality combinations of the moment.Long-awaited successor to the six-year-old D700 , the Nikon D750 with its full-frame 24 million pixel sensor ( presented for Photokina 2014 ) lives up to expectations. Although its 2,639 euros are intended for wealthy amateurs, it is perfect for picky photographers looking for better sensitivity than that offered by less expensive models or an APS-C digital SLR. The D750 is also de facto for professionals.

Design and functions

With a few small exceptions, the design of the Nikon D750 is comfortable, of good quality and almost perfect in terms of functionality. The housing uses an alloy made of magnesium for the rear and upper part and carbon fiber for the front chassis and the hood. Physically, it is very close to the D610 with waterproof protections comparable to those of the D810 

Design is a judicious cross between consumer and professional models. Its rubberized handle is well dug and two programmable buttons are accessible with the fingers of the right hand. The left side houses the retractable flash, bracketing and autofocus button. And as you would expect from a camera of this level, there are adjustment knobs on the front and rear. 

In addition to the usual manual, semi-manual and automatic modes, there is another called Effects which offers useful basics: night vision (ISO high sensitivity monochrome), selective color, silhouette. The dial can accommodate custom settings. At the top left is the power button around the shutter button and the exposure metering and compensation buttons. There is also a tiny shortcut button for video recording. It is also quite difficult to find by touch.

On the back is the excellent viewfinder and a large LCD screen that can be tilted 90 ° up and down. On the left side of the screen are the buttons for white balance, image size / quality, ISO sensitivity as well as the Nikon i button which gives access to contextual adjustments.

The D750 has the same control pad with the central “OK” button as the D610. We found it as uncomfortable to use as on all Nikon models that have it.

Image quality

Nikon really does a good job with photo quality. The Nikon D750 has an excellent noise profile for both photos and videos. When increasing ISO sensitivity, it produces RAW images significantly better than the Sony A99 . To the discharge of the latter, his age, he is already two years old. We prefer the more neutral white balance of the Sony whereas that of the Nikon tends slightly to draw on the red and blue. The D810 retains better levels of detail and tonal range over the entire sensitivity range, but the photo quality of the D750 rivals that of the D800 very well and for nearly 600 euros less.

The JPEG images of the D750 are exceptionally sharp up to a sensitivity of ISO 1600 where a slight degradation of the details appears in the focus area. At ISO 3200, you start to see artifacts and blurring. But overall, the JPEG quality is satisfactory up to ISO 6400.

We had ISO 12800 RAW files with which we were able to work comfortably.

The video quality is good, even in low light, but we start to lose the range of tones from ISO 3200, as with photos.

Performances

Whether in the laboratory or in the field, the shooting performance of the D750 is up to this type of camera. However, it is really slow in Live View (aimed with the LCD screen) and it has some annoying faults in accessing certain settings.

It only takes 0.2 seconds to turn on the camera, focus and take the photo. The speed on a single shot is what you’d expect at this price point. In bright or dark lighting conditions, the focus / trigger delay is less than 0.4 seconds. And it takes about 0.2 seconds between two successive RAW and JPEG shots. The D750 excels when it comes to burst mode. It takes 6.6 frames per second at the highest JPEG quality. 

This is a new record in this price range. It even goes up to 7 frames per second in RAW, but for 15 consecutive shots only. Beyond that, it drops to 4.6 frames per second. It manages ten RAW and JPEG photos before slowing down considerably. And what’s just as important,

Unfortunately, Live View is very slow, with 1.5 seconds to focus and shoot in optimal conditions. Opening certain options from the LCD screen also causes slowness, as with ISO sensitivity. A problem that Nikon should be able to resolve with a firmware update.
