The 24MP D750 is Nikons third full-frame DSLR this year, and for a lot of our readers, it might be the most significant. Sitting between the more affordable D610 and the pro-grade, high-resolution D810, the D750 borrows elements from both cameras. Impressively though - with the exception of its sensor - the D750s build quality, ergonomics and feature set have much more in common with the more expensive of the two. The D750 offers faster continuous shooting than the D810 (6.5fps), an improved version of the D810s 51-point AF system (more on that later), a 91,000-pixel RGB metering sensor, the same 3.2 RGBW LCD screen (but tilting), and the same OLED viewfinder display. The D750 also inherits the same video specification as the D810, which itself incorporated the refinements that Nikon has been adding with each successive DSLR release. In this instance, that means powered aperture control, the new Flat picture control mode and the addition of zebra overexposure warnings (though no focus peaking yet). The D750 also offers Auto ISO control in manual exposure video shooting, retaining exposure compensation. And of course the rear screen, which is now semi-articulated to hinge upwards and outward, allowing more flexible live view and video shooting. Its a shame that the D750 does not feature the Split Screen Display Zoom feature of the D810 and some people will miss 1/8000 minimum shutter duration but aside from these omissions, arguably the only other thing of any significance that the D810 offers which the D750 doesnt is those extra 12 million pixels. While Nikon is calling it newly developed, the D750s 24MP sensor is likely to be based on the sensor found in the D610, and includes an AA filter - bucking the recent Nikon trend. As such, were not expecting the D750 to come close to the D810 for critical resolution, but on the plus side, it produces smaller files, and is a faster camera as a result.
