Nikon has covered almost every feature likely to appear on the wish-list of an enthusiast photographer and added a few extra for good measure.

I gotta admit, as a full-time professional wedding photojournalist and low-light action photographer, I un-ashamedly participated in all the discussions (OK, arguments) about Nikon’s legendary D700, and whether or not a true successor would ever arrive.
-
[A]nother winning FX DSLR from Nikon.
-
It's always going to have the megapixel count, but 24 is plenty, and I'm starting to think that this camera really is hitting a sweet spot for an overall camera. It's a real nice camera to use.
-
The Nikon D750 has a high-resolution 3.2inch tilting screen, as well as impressive battery life, built-in Wi-Fi, a more compact body and faster continuous shooting making this a very appealing camera.
-
Combining the design and handling of the cheaper D610 with many of the more expensive D810's features, Nikon have clearly positioned the new full-frame D750 between the two.
-
I'm very, very happy with the result from this camera, I can highly recommend it if you're in the market for a full-frame DSLR on the Nikon side or in general looking for a great camera, this is going to give you great photos and great video in a professional sense.

The Nikon D750 is a great camera, even by today's standards. Its Matrix-metering system is very capable, delivering correct exposure in a wide range of situations, and it produces images that have natural yet vibrant colors.

With its great price, tiltable LCD screen, small size and low-noise imagery, the D750 should be on every DSLR cinematographers’ short list.

In my mind, the Nikon D750, well, it's 1,100 bucks cheaper, but it seems to beat the Canon in just about every way.
-
All of these features combine in what could well be one of the most attractive enthusiast DSLRs on the market.

[A]s of this point, if you're looking for a full-frame camera and you're not locked into any particular system, the Nikon D750 is a camera we'd wholeheartedly recommend [...]
-
The performance of the D810 in a light D610 body with smaller files and a reasonable burst rate makes this combination a winner.
- Photo Review 8.8/10
For about $600 more than the price of the D610, the Nikon D750 gives you the EXPEED 4 processor, the AF and metering systems and shutter/mirror mechanism of the D810 and throws in Wi-Fi and a tilting monitor screen with higher resolution.
-
Don't think of it in that singular dimension, though, and it's a solid DSLR.

The D750’s superior autofocus, noise performance, video mode and articulated screen make it well worth the extra cost compared to Nikon and Canon’s entry-level full-frame SLRs for those who can afford it.

The Nikon D750 is the perfect storm of ease, comfort and image quality. It’s easily the comfiest-to-hold high-end DSLR Nikon has made to date.

When I review camera bodies, I get to shoot them for a solid month, and the past two have really surprised me.
-
I later sold my Nikon D810 and I upgraded to the Nikon D850, but I kept this Nikon D750 because it was just so good. It just kept performing, giving me the results I really needed.
-
As an upgrade, the D750 is one of the best mid-range full-frame DSLRs on the market in both capacity and price range, and Ikelite is always a great brand to take underwater.
-
If you’ve been thinking about getting into full-frame photography but don’t want to spend crazy money, the Nikon D750 is still one of the best options out there.

Perhaps it’s like Goldilocks: just right, and highly recommended.
-
I would 100% recommend the Nikon D750 for high ISO shots, or at least high ISO shots where you still have the ability to edit well afterwards, where they're sharp and you're able to manipulate them afterwards.
-
Joking aside, and aside from all those lost years shooting video with moire and aliasing on Nikon cameras, the D750 is actually a surprise. It’s just that a lot of the innovation is hidden from view.
-
Honestly though, after using this I feel like it was way easier than I thought it would be, like I thought it would be way harder, the autofocus and that, but it's actually fine.
-
You can take it anywhere, and it's not going to hold you back.
-
Guys, the Nikon D750 truly is a monster of a camera for the price.
-
I can tell you basically hands down this is my favorite DSLR on the market right now.
