Nikon D750 announced.

Is Nikon metering that bad that you need to be able to do this all of the time? ;) :D

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).

But if you shoot landscape or architecture then you will encounter high contrast scenes all the time so exposing for the highlights and pulling up shadow detail is a daily occurrence.

The rescuing an underexposed photo (flash failure for example) is a happy bonus.

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

I mentioned above that Canon has used the so y sensor from the Rx100 in its new chigh end compact G7X. So it is possible in the future canon DSLRs will use sony sensors .
It is also possible that canon license some design aspects, particularly the ADC. It is the canon ADC read noise that is the biggest limitation and causes shadows to be extremely poor. In theory canon could blend their existing sensor technology with the sony exmor ADC readout technology. Although it is easier just to buy sensors from Sony, or co -design with so y like Nikon does.

I don't think Sony will care at all, they sell sensors to everyone else more or less. So y have failed to get any market share form canon or Nikon (at one stage so y were going on a out getting 35% market share and displacing Nikon! Nikon's market share has increased over that period) so they are barely even competitors. Sony would thus enjoy making profit on every canon SLR sold!.
Sony also have a really expensive sensor fabrication plant that is under utilized

It's not something I shoot. I've said before that if I shot landscapes/architecture I would have changed a while back. Although an A7r and Canon TSE lenses seem popular for that now.

Having said that, Martin Turner (who used to be active in here a while back) is doing excellent architectural work with an Oly E-M5 and getting published frequently.

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....

It's more just the hassle of selling. I was even tempted to just lump it all with MPB or LCE, but that's just throwing money away! It highlights that I just want the camera more than really need it I suppose. I did also consider just adding the D750 to my gear, but having 3 systems would be daft :D
 
I so don't need to go FF yet even though I have the lenses for it already, but if I was going to make the jump I think the D750 is the one I'd go for. I said when I first heard about it that I don;t need it, so I've done the usual watching videos and reading reviews ever since!
 
I nearly picked up a D750 in the airport in Tokyo couple of weeks ago, they had one left... Worked out to be about 1100 quid.... :)
But I'd also seen I could pick up a DF or D800e second hand for the same cost in the city shops. So now I'm undecided what I'll add to my current D7000.
Expect to have another business trip to Japan before the end of the year, so not sure I can miss the opportunity to pick up a "bargain" :D

What do you primarily shoot? The D750 is going down really well at the moment, wedding photographers are really liking it. Apart from a noisy "silent shutter" that is!
 
The D800 is more por orientated, the D750 is more consumer oriatated. The D750 has the D610 style model and consumer controls , with the D5300 body construction (metal frame with some carbon fibre is cheap and light, vs the mag aloy body of the pro D800s) including th D5300's floppy screen . 1/200th second flash, 1/4000th top shutter.

Anyway, my option of the D750 follows Thom Hogans.
Indeed, as I updated the data page for the D750, I found I was typing very little different than the D610. Given the US$2300 price, one has to once again wonder whether Nikon is just trying to put the D600 fiasco behind it with a bit of engineering and a lot of marketing.

D610 — Buy it because it’s the cheapest
Df — Buy it because you only use a few old primes, like your film SLR
D810 — Buy it because it’s the best all-around DSLR and has the most pixels
D4s — Buy it because it’s the usual PJ brick that just shoots and shoots and shoots
D750 — Buy it because? Uh, it’s cheaper than a D810 and has a lot of the D810 stuff in it, and it’s really a fixed D600/D610

I think the screen on the D750 isn't the same as the one on the D5300, it's not fully articulating and is on a metal frame a bit like the one on the Sony RX100 MIII and I believe can only tilt up or down.

Also it's Mag alloy top and rear, CF front. D5300 is entirely plastic.

Landscapes, general views, some occasional air shows, anything that will look good in Black and White !!.. No weddings ever....

D750 because its cheaper than a D810 but still with a good spec/features. low noise and pulling out shadow detail. Not to big/heavy to fly with.
DF because I'm over 40, still like and shoot with traditional film cameras.
D800e/810 because of the resolution, for enlargements or cropping and shadow detail/dynamic range.

My ideal would be a better built DF (it felt a bit plastic and light, at least compared to my Contax ND) with the 800e/810 sensor.

I'd be looking at a D800/D810 if I were you I reckon. Airshows is a reason I've considered a D810 that's for sure. The D800 getting much cheaper second hand just can't be discounted though!

That is the real draw of the D800 right now, you can buy for less than the D750
 
With the D750 at £1273 new there's not a lot in it. With lots of D800's being sold it could drop more though. A D700 at ~£600 is pretty awesome as well.

The D5300 has a very similar body, metal fram with carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic. Ergonomically and build wise it is close to the D7000 just like the D610 was.


The carbon fibre plastic helps keeps the cost down vs the all mag-alloy pro bodies. It is also a bit lighter but not I. Any significant way, the D750 is like 10g lighter than the D610.

Nikon is likely tribally the carbon fibre thermoplastic on increasingly higher end cameras so if there are many long term issues they will effect consumers more than pros who alos abuse their gear more.





The LCD floppy screen is different, my point was it was the D5300 camera that also has a floppy screen. And the built in wifi.

The D70 is a cross between a D5300, D610 and D810.
 
Sorry DP, don't want to sound insolent but where are you seeing that the D5300 is a metal frame with the CF plastic? Everything everywhere I can see just says is a "a new monocoque body made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer".

Even the Nikon site says
New monocoque structure compact and lightweight body
The D5300 employs a newly developed monocoque structure with carbon fiber reinforced plastic material for its camera body. By eliminating the conventional metal chassis and adopting a monocoque structure for the outer frame, a compact and durable body is realized.

I know the D7100 has Mag alloy top and rear like the D750, as did the D7000, D600, D610.

D750 ordered from the P place. Nom.

bythom's website, although I may have misread.
Until the D5300 all low end Nikon DSLR had a metal chassis to which they attached the plastic outer, vs the pro bodies that are a solid mag alloy body with plastic and rubber used as a finish only. What they might have done with the D5300 is remove the metal chassis altogether.

Either way the carbon thermo plastic technology used in the D750 was first used in the D5300. The actual body is closer in design to the D7000 and D610.
