Hi all,

I currently have a D3300 that has served me well. I've been considering moving up to the FX format (my zoom and portrait lens are both Nikkor FX format) and the D750 is the main contender.

I'm aware that there were some issues with the sensors of early batches, but I read in Amateur Photographer recently that newer batches had also had the same issue.

Given that I'm about to drop £1380 on the body, I wanted to reach out for any feedback from D750 users. Also, if there were any other suggestions or advice.

I predominantly shoot portraits and would want to stay with Nikon due to having 4 lens that are Nikon mount.

Cheers
 
What sensor problems?

i know there was a viewfinder issue on some early models due to different providers of a certain part but the sensor is golden.
 
Thanks Stulid.

Tbh, I will have the 2 year UK guarantee as I'm not going for a grey import. I may be overly cautious, but want to have this body as a keeper for a good number of years (and keep the D3300 as my travel body).
 
Zero issues with mine - I've had it for three or four months now. The range of the sensor is simply amazing, coming from a Canon 5D2.
 
It's had two recalls, both shutter issues. I need to send mine back but I've had shoots booked. I've not experienced the issues myself but I'd imagine come resale most will ask about it.

The last batch to have this issue were built June 2015. If you buy now you shouldn't have a problem, but if you do Nikon have been swift in sorting it.

It's a massive jump from a D3300, I came from a D7100 which my Mrs now owns.... it never gets used! She always reaches for the D750, We love it.

Go on treat yourself ;)
 
Guys - much love for the feedback!

Seems like bad batches and I can always check the batches based off the serial numbers (thanks Andy90).

I'll check on the finances and let you know how I get on :)
 
Nikon have the full frame D5 out soon the replace the D4. Both are way out of my price range and needs. There's also the D500 which is the top of the line new dx format. However, I want a full frame sensor with my next camera.
 
Zero issues with mine. Brand new grey import delivered for £999.99. Checked on Nikon website and my serial number not effected by either recalls.

Amazing camera, not sure it's 'that' much better than the D7100 I owned previously though, which cost over £500 less, but that probably speaks for how good the D7100 was.

Bought mine in December. Not affected by any of the recalls - think that's just if they were manufactured before June.

I came from a Canon 600D and it blows everything I've ever used canon-wise out of the water. Granted that only includes up to a 6D but I'm sure the DR is better than even that.

The difference between the D7100 and D750 is mostly just the sensor size.
I Have a D7000 and a D800, the D800 is not wildly different o the D7000, the sensor is just larger with the same pixel density even. Autofocus is a a little faster and more reliable but covers a smaller part of the frame - that is a big advantage of crop camera.


You pay a lot for a big sensor, but ti makes sense because it is by far the most expensive component in a FF camera. It costs between 4x and 8x to make a FF vs APS-C sensor.
 
even if your camera is a grey import or not in warranty the recall states all cameras will be repaired f.o.c , btw mine needs the recall although i have had no issues i'm still waiting over a month now for an r.m.a. so in one hand nikon warranty recall sounds great but keeping you waiting a month cancels it out.

The Auto Focus in the D750 is much better than the D7100 in my experience using both side by side still. But yeah, the sensor is the main difference. If you shoot portraits like myself it's almost a must to have FF.
 
Portraits are the reason for me wanting the D750 compared to a better featured APS-C body.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the feedback - it's been really helpful. :D
