Nikon D750 announced.
- Thread starter Rojin
- Start date
I do really want one, but just cba to go through selling all my Canon gear...! I use my Fuji's more now anyway. I'm going to get the 7D2 or a 1Dmk4 for the action side of things.

Ditto, all accumulated, if I take even a 10% loss on each lens and flashes, I'll guess a minimum £2k loss and then another £2k more to get everything.
5D4 better kick arse....
Pretty sure I'm going to push the button on one of these. Where I live (non-UK) I have a choice of:
I'm thinking the 120mm would be the perfect walk-around lens. Hmm...
Great review, never heard of the guy so enjoyed the read, thanks!

This kind of stuff is making me want to switch but I can't justify the costs.
Currently own :
5D3
5D2
6D
Sigma 35mm f1.4
Canon 24-70 f2.8 x 2
Canon 70-200 f2.8
Want to go full primes for weddings though so need to work out what it'll cost doing it both ways before I commit to any more Canon!

There are reports canon have made advancements in sensor tech, so you'l might want to hold off switching for now. Besides gear doesn't matter apparently! 
Canon used the same Sony sensor as the Sony RX100mk3 in their new G7X.
This to me is a sign that perhaps they are realizing the shortcomings of their sensor design team and are willing to try to make a partnership with Sony. I don't think that would be good for the industry as it will limit competition. Sony sensors are used in Pentax Olympus, and Nikon cameras. Nikon does some sensor design and work with others such as Toshiba and Aptina.
Canon used to rule the world with sensor design no one else could get close to but they haven' really progressed much in 8-10 years. No one could afford to make FF sensor when Canon started, no one had reliable CMOS tech or could reach the same noise floors, and they always bumped resolutions above the competion while maintaining best in class IQ.
Nowadays Sony, Nikon (with Aptina), Toshiba, Panasonic, samsung, Fuji all make sensors that are years ahead of canon in terms of ADC noise.

I can get perfectly good pictures with a 30D but it's nice to know I can mess up and still get it back...
And that is why people love the D800/D700/10 sensors - you have the ability to rescue under exposed photos, more over you have the ability to capture the natural world in a more natural way that reflects how we view the world.

Had a go with D810's. Mine may need to go back to Nikon for sensor adjustment (due to affected serial numbers), but haven't tested them yet to see if they have the fault.
Upped 5 stops in LR in tungsten light.

D700 was 'ok' at dealing with banding. It wasn't great.
Another typo, I meant D600 and D610. The D750 has the same sensor as the D600.
Yeah the D700 wasnt as good but was very clean.
It has the same tech, but markedly improved low-light handling and noise according to multiple tests.
Is Nikon metering that bad that you need to be able to do this all of the time?
Seriously though, it is very impressive. I haven't ever seen anyone deny that. I can only think of one shot that I have ever taken that needed to be pushed anywhere near that far though, and it wasn't an important shot. So it remains a nice to have for me and the bottom of the pile when it comes to the reasons I'd very much like a D750 (it's not insignificant though).

I just can't see it in the near future. The closest they'd get is by licensing tech from Sony
