"flip lcd unless you're shooting photos above your head". This is why you can't rely on reviewers. If you shoot anything low to the ground like newborn, pets or macros of flowers, the lcd is a godsend. Also when I shoot weddings, I like to get a shot of the couple from ground level with the church ceilings in a wide composition.
movax20h I bought the a7iii and the image quality and skin tones are nowhere near the 4 year old D750, I returned the a7iii and got the d750 w nicer glass, plus the feel of it in the hands is just far superior than that of the Sony or any mirror less in that aspect
@@NOKOT51 Great to know. Although I dislike Sony colors, I was so tempted by the α7 III when it came out, but decided to wait for any interesting deals later on. THANK GOD I waited all these months. Nikon discounted the D750, and B&H currently has a deal with the D750, Nikon battery grip, SD card, additional battery and a bag for $1396.95. I could not resist. That's just under $200 more than what I spent on my Nikon D70 back in 2005 with an 28-80mm and a 70-300mm.
Thank you for the awesome review! I bought my D750 10 days ago and even though I read many "low level short reviews" before and after my purchase yours hands down was the best. I have migrated from, not counting my Nikon film cameras, a D40 to a D90 to a D7100 and I finally made the leap to full frame, and the D750 was the right way to go. For me, there was too much controversy around the D600 and D610. I AM GLAD THAT I WAITED!!!!!
This review just saved me from what I now know to have possibly been a big waste of an upgrade haha, turns out this was exactly the type of camera I was needing for my focus and profession I've been really getting immersed in. Feel obliged to throw down a comment. Love the efficient editing and the straight to the point conduct of the whole bit. Easy to keep watching through the end and I now know exactly what I need to do in order to get my work to where I want it to be. Thank you.
Many thanks for possibly the best camera review I have ever seen. Since I started in the days of the black & white darkroom I have seen a few:) You took the d750 through a difficult real world situation which really showed what the camera was capable of...both still & video. Then you provided the raw files for us to decide on them instead of wondering what the reviewers opinion really meant. Thank you very much for a review that actually answered all of my questions about this camera. I see one in my future :) Snuffy
Thank you Jared! The D750 looks to be the one camera that will replace my D7000. I was considering the D810, but the extra $1000 price for the 36MP sensor is too expensive.
I use the tilt screen for stills especially for long exposures when the camera is mounted on a tripod and down low for wide angle shots, very convenient. Great review Jared well done!
Hi Jared, enjoy watching your camera reviews. After watching this one, seriously considering getting a D750( for video(for channel) & stills). Love Nikon for great low light capabilities. Have 2 Nikon D300's use them for capturing lightning during monsoon season here in SE AZ. Thank you for sharing.
I have the D750 but have never tried shooting video with it. Now at this point I wish it recorded at 4K or better yet 8K, but I can't deny the video you shot looks fantastic. I feel more confident about using it for some video recording. Fabulous review, great information. Thank you Jared! You rock.
3 things I want to see in this, 1) The top CASIO type display has got smaller (When compared to D7000, D7100 & D7200) and I really miss seeing the detail in what i'm shooting at, Whether JPG, RAW or RAW + JPG. Because I switch the modes depending the situation so i have to now press the info button to see what I have selected currently. 2) I feel that the front grip is not fat enough, its great that they have increased the depth of the grip but I would like it would have been little bit fatter than what is right now. 3) Lastly I love the fact that movie record button can be changed to ISO change option, however I really don't like the fact that every time I press dual purpose button like ISO or WB the info display turns on, Specially when changing ISO which your certainly do almost all the time. Because when I'm looking through the view finder & change the ISO all of a sudden I can see the screen lit up. Wish there is a way to turn that off. Other than that, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! This camera just blows my pants away. The problem is when you have such a awesome, brilliant, spectacular, incredible, cool camera your expectations rise up more than it should be, therefore these minor details kinda get in your nerves. But its something I can live with, but without the D750 now I don't think I can live :)
Personally, I think the articulating LCD is very helpful when shooting macro photos. Specially if an insect is climbing on a wall, or so low on the ground. Plus, I don't want to pump my lens into things like trees or the floor. This something I wish my Canon 6D had!
Jared I've been watching your videos since I started photography and I have to say this is one you best videos. Thanks for the commitment to your videos and keeping us entertained and educated on new products!
I think the D750 is still the King of street photography in this day of 2020, I've passed up buying the D850 or mirrorless cameras because my D750 is still in great shape, although recently the Canon eon R5 caught my attention looks like ill be upgrading to that these holidays but it doesn't mean ill be giving up my D750. I only shoot 50mm and 85mm in street and been the best fun.
I am loving the new video work you guys are doing across all your content, it has really stepped up compared to your older videos... it looks so professional!!
Damn it! You convinced me to buy the D750. I have a D7200 and was "swinging" between buying the D7500 or join the team of full frames. And, in the field of FX, which one? I was afraid of such issue of flare in some situations and was waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares. Watching your videos about D750, I hit the hammer and I'll buy it on my trip to Orlando in September. Thanks for the full report. Regards.
Thanks. It was great to be able to come back to this review after using the d750 for 6 months. You had great feedback and I can confirm I agree with all of it. Especially the backlight buttons.
I think the tight grouping of the AF points explains it's superb auto-focusing. My hunch is that by doing so, they made the entire system more sensitive.
Thanks Jared, great review. While football is hard, lacrosse is harder -- the game moves much faster and the focus of action can move from one side of the field to the other in no time. Thanks to this review I know have a new target for getting out of DX.
To get the AF points more spread out in the viewfinder you need a bigger module and bigger secondary mirror. That would make the whole system MUCH more expensive and I am not even sure if that would fit into a Nikon body. So they really aren't spread out more on the DX cameras like my D7000. They just cover more of the sensor because it is smaller than a FX sensor and the viewfinder pretty much represents what the sensor sees. But anyway! Great review! I really like the that this camera fits in. It's "better than a D610, but not quite a D810".
Though I have upgraded to Z9 and S Line glass, I still use the D750 often. Truly a game changer from 7 years ago and still very relevant and great price.
In my opinion, your best review that I have seen to date. This is possibly because of the real world setting and subject. Would really like to see what the 810 would do at a high school football game at night, then compare the two to help decide between the two cameras. Looking to finally upgrade from my trusty D700.
about your comment on the af points at around 21:00 i would assume that the auto focus points are grouped closer to the center to fit dx lenses. when dx lenses are used the outer focus points would place closer to the edge of the frame ;D
Can we get an updated review if the d750 still holds up on 2022?? Wanting ro go full frame.. I shoot mostly sports and my research keeps giving the d750 as an option but I'm worried to buy it being so old and need to upgrade again too soon for whatever reason..
The focuspoints are squised into middle because it is meant for later cropping in indesign when layouting a ex. Newspaper page. I know the frustrations of not being able to get into the edge. Good thing there is always manual focus which neatly is put on a turning switch on front left side facing the back of the camera your self. Besides that you can put ae-lock as af-on and turn camera to the side so you can get it out of focuspoint range. Third solution shoot dx-crop. The points fit in nicely there and the many pixels allow a nice cropping too.
seems that the problem of D750 apears here as well at 7:20, flare from the metal frame of the af focus sensor that is in the bottom part of the mirror box.
Awesome review Jared. I am a hobbyist and currently use a Nikon D5100 camera. It's OK but need to get more creative with bokeh and event photography. A full frame is probably the way to go since majority of good lenses are for full frame cameras. The D750 is definitely something I would consider. Cheers from down under (Australia).
I have the Nikon 7100 and thinking up grading to the Nikon 750 after looking at your review. I have a 35 mm and 50 mm prime lenses. My question is which prime lens do you suggest for the D750? I do shoot weddings, landscapes, and some sports. Thanks in advance
I'd use the flip out screen for shooting close to the ground macros like small flowers or insects. The problems I've had without a flip out screen include laying in mud, a sore neck, and camera shake. I think this camera looks great BTW, thanks for the review!
Very nice review. I am looking forward for comparison of D610, D750 and D810. Can you split the final summary of these three cameras for videographers and for photographers? I would like to upgrade to FX and I am thinking about D610 or D750 + Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 VC. I am not sure if it's just me but I am taking video very rarely so video features are not so important for me in overall comparison.
Hey Jared great review! I wish you would had edited the raw pictures of the d810 and d750 in a video. Just wishful thinking! I just bought a I shoot raw shirt! Yeah!
the AF points being squashed is due to them using the same cam3500 module for DX and FX cameras, so while it's nicely spread out in DX camera, there will be all squashed in the middle on FX< they really need to develop FX specific CAM modules.
Absolutely brilliant video. Comprehensive and really clear. Thanks for taking the time Jared. I am tempted to sell my D800 for one of these. I need the 1080p 60fps for video as I do more video than stills.
I do portrait photography and weddings but also do sports photography in the fall. I was between the D500 & D750... I have enough to buy a 750 but should I keep saving to get the d500 to be safe for sports or will the 750 be good enough? I'm leaning towards the d500 though because of the AF points, the buffer and because the technology is more recent than the 750 but I like the 750's depth of field and I feel it's better for portrait photography and weddings but not sure which route to go. Wish I could afford both.
I am trying to decide between the D750 or Canon's 5D Miii. I am a hobbyist, but would like to eventually take professional photos by shooting portraits, weddings, etc. Which would you suggest?
hi Jared Polin really a good review man... as u tested the new nikon d750 what do u think if u compare it to the d810 in the low light performance is it better than d810.. Because i want to upgrade from the dx to the fx but i can not chose between the d810 or d750.. as apro which one is better in iso..note that i am interested in widding photography. thx man
Thank you so much for explaining it in detail, and I'm a show and visual kind of person. So, I'm really glad that you explain how the features would be beneficial for.
Taking the time to do your research and mostly, watch these hands on reviews from the pro's is the best thing anyone can do before putting down a big chunk of change for a camera, or anything for that matter.
+jared polin - the flip out LCD is really handy for high angle work on a tripod. E.g. Shooting detail/abstracts on tall buildings. Also good for low work on a tripod. I've used it for both with manual focus and live view to punch in to refine the focus. (The low work was not my d750 buy my em5 , but same idea)
I just wonder if it makes more sense to use a D7100 in crop mode then you could get 400mm out of a 70-200mm 2.8 I wonder if that sensor has got enough ISO range to shoot that kind of event at night?
The angled screen is also good for photos at low angles, IF you do manual focus. I do this all the time on my gh4 + Nikon glass, of course the gh4 has focus peaking to assist manual focusing.
Hey Jared! I have a Nikon D700 which is six years old but still working well. I need another camera for events and action photography so have been saving up for the D4s. What are your thoughts about a second lens for me. The D750 looks good but I also know the D4s is outstanding. I am doing wild horse photography so looking for more of an action camera. Plus event photography I can't switch between zoom and wide angle lens so I need two camera bodies.Thanks for any help.
very interesting video! I just want to buy this camera !! Can I ask What are the objectives have you used in the video? and that you have the camera mounted in the SLR?
Great review. I made up my mind to finally purchase the D750 instead of the D810 just a few days ago, which I can save some bucks to invest in more glass. And thanks for the tips and tutorials man, your assistance has brought me to a higher level photographer
The pull out lcd would be good for real estate images where you pull back as far into a corner as poss and room to correct distortion, up to now the vertical viewfinder attachment has been one of the only good quick options, this 'could' improve on this without twisting your back and neck around - I've not tested the actual screen yet.
Yes. And it's a pain in the arse when you have to focus on eyes and then move the camera to reframe. Do this with an aperture at f1.4 and even that slight movement to reframe can give you blurred eyes.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kole Melvin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Lot of Information in a real photo Situation ! Much more interesting than this "talking at the table revieuws". Really well done Jared, more of those ones please !!!
I would love to see a review of those big telephotos. The existing reviews are super lame compared to the in depth and honest review that I know you would give!!
Hope more Nikons have the tilting LCD screen. Other manufacturers like Canon and Sony have had them for a while. Some pro's don't want to use it (some might even be against it) but no harm in having the option there, right?
I need to shoot real estate. I don't know how to take pictures with windows, it's very bright. I have set up bracketing exposure in my Nikon 750. How I can overlay 3 photos with different exposure if I do not have a Photoshop? Is there any functions in camera? Or some free app?
Very good video! This is the stuff that really helps me make that 2000 dollar decision. I'm getting so tempted by the dark side with this camera! If only I could use my EF 70-200 2.8 ii. I would be down at Allen's camera right now!!!
Hi Jared, your reviews are ace, no doubt about that at all. However, I would like to ask you a question about the Nikon D750. I am seriously considering upgrading from a D300s to the D750, and my question to you is; Can we connect a remote trigger cable, because, I can't seem to notice the port from the pics and videos etc... Can you help please ? Regards JNN
Thank you for this thorough video, Jared. Although I don't have the cash to use or own this equipment, I can apply the concepts on my DSLR for photo and video. Keep doing what you're doing!
Phenomenal video Jared! I'm sorry if I missed it, did you say what ISO you shot the video of the football game in? All of the video in this piece looked amazing, I'm really thinking about adding this to my arsenal. It looks like it hangs well with the GH4 for video, and maybe a lot better in low light... Plus the stills with great glass must be amazing in full rez too.
hey, in this vid you shoot with VR on despite shooting at 1/1000 (faster actually). I've heard and found the VR can actually make shots more blury when shooting at high shutter speeds. What has been your experience?
I agree that the d750 seems to be an awesome piece of equipment (with the right glass). In regards to the tilt screen, I find it very beneficial seeing as I'm not '6"4 for high shots or '4"2 for low shots. The stigma of "if a professional does it then the world is in balance" is bologna (not being negative, don't get me wrong). This my first time checking out the Fro Dude (Jared) and I appreciate his feedback.
+Maxwell Starr Sadly the A99 isn't a DSLR though, it is a mirrorless. I think many are still sticking away from Mirrorless cameras until the technology and etc matures more, especially in AF abilities
+Vueey Le Technically speaking the A99 is still a DSLR. DSLR, meaning 'Digital Single Lens Reflex', means that there is a Reflex mirror that reflects light out of the viewing path to aid with framing and focusing. What's different is Sony's implementation of it, where the reflected light goes into an always-on focus system and the mirror never moves. Mirrorless implies no mirror at all, and he smaller size/shorter flange distance that comes with scrapping the mirror. Sony's branding of it as 'SLT' Single Lens Translucent' was unfortunate however because now you have plenty of people saying they're not DSLRs (they're not traditional DSLRs but still DSLRs). But the term 'Reflex' doesn't mean moving mirror, after all, the mirrors didn't move in TLR (Twin-Lens Reflex) cameras like the Rolleiflex.
Hey Jared. Great info. I have been using my new D750 for about a month now and love it. I'm still learning and have a question about "-3 EV". I think you mentioned you shot everything at this game in "manual" mode but then you mentioned the -3 EV worked well with autofocus. Doesn't the exposure compensation only come into play when in one of the auto modes vs manual modes? Hope the question makes sense... Thanks in advance for the information and education!
He means the auto focus points are sensitive to -3ev which basically means you can grab focus when it's really dark. This thing focuses in lower light than the D4S and D810!
great review, very informative so far I'm only half way thru. how is AF in video mode? there is touch on the LCD? really wondering how face detection works in video mode. i know it wouldn't make much sense in the video with so many faces and obstruction of helmets and all but wondering in general does face detection keep up with a face like the 70D does? thanks!!
11:14 I heard some old time Nikoners say the opposite, like they changed something on this D750. What did they change if that's true? I'm about to move to Nikon so this is my first one, not that I care having different buttons or something but did they actually change something or that's wrong?
I sold my D610 and got the D750. It was worth the switch. Get the D750 and the 50mm 1.8. You will not regret it.
S Tra On your camera, so you can regret your regret
I “only” have a d700 but I LOVE my 50mm 1.8.
@S Tra your parents
@S Tra leave teddy alone
what's the biggest difference between the D750 and D610? I currently have a D610 and am looking to get a second body.

If you shoot anything low to the ground like newborn, pets or macros of flowers, the lcd is a godsend.

You made a good review on the D810. Now you made an even better for the D750.
Only the environment wasn't as interesting in my opinion.
Phenomenal noise performance at high ISO. Probably still the best camera 4 year later.
movax20h I bought the a7iii and the image quality and skin tones are nowhere near the 4 year old D750, I returned the a7iii and got the d750 w nicer glass, plus the feel of it in the hands is just far superior than that of the Sony or any mirror less in that aspect

SOC 7 yeah definitely, wait it off.. Sony hasn’t matured just yet. I almost gave into the hype, but then again glass glass glass is key.. cheers
@@NOKOT51Yup. Thanks! God bless!
I know this camera is great, but come on is anyone still complaining about Sony's color? Sony A7 iii is just the best camera on the planet

Not only that but only shoots sports lmao I dont think most buyers will be buying this camera for sports. thats what the d500 is for
Or you could be like me and own both cameras. One for action and the burst shooting function, the other for FX positives and higher MP sensor.
He rented them, plenty of photographers who aren't filthy rich do that.
Thanks for the review. Great job! I have D700, old guy, and now want to change and still considering between D750 and D810.
Really enjoying your videos, man. Trying to figure out what camera to buy to get started. Thinking the 750 will do the job. 🙋🏼📷
As always an excellent demonstration! Maybe it will my next camera!
how is the focus for the Video, looks like it was stable on Focus, is the Lens set to M or M/A?
I'd use the flip out screen for shooting close to the ground macros like small flowers or insects. The problems I've had without a flip out screen include laying in mud, a sore neck, and camera shake. I think this camera looks great BTW, thanks for the review!
The direct audio from the camera was surprisingly good.
Great review....eoshd ranked the video for being the most capable dslr right now....glad to see nikon stepping up video...
Very nice review. I am looking forward for comparison of D610, D750 and D810. Can you split the final summary of these three cameras for videographers and for photographers?
I would like to upgrade to FX and I am thinking about D610 or D750 + Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 VC. I am not sure if it's just me but I am taking video very rarely so video features are not so important for me in overall comparison.
Can a reviewer/youtuber be any better? No!. Damn! What a great work! Thanks Fro!
Hey Jared great review! I wish you would had edited the raw pictures of the d810 and d750 in a video. Just wishful thinking! I just bought a I shoot raw shirt! Yeah!
the AF points being squashed is due to them using the same cam3500 module for DX and FX cameras, so while it's nicely spread out in DX camera, there will be all squashed in the middle on FX< they really need to develop FX specific CAM modules.
Absolutely brilliant video. Comprehensive and really clear. Thanks for taking the time Jared. I am tempted to sell my D800 for one of these. I need the 1080p 60fps for video as I do more video than stills.
I do portrait photography and weddings but also do sports photography in the fall. I was between the D500 & D750... I have enough to buy a 750 but should I keep saving to get the d500 to be safe for sports or will the 750 be good enough? I'm leaning towards the d500 though because of the AF points, the buffer and because the technology is more recent than the 750 but I like the 750's depth of field and I feel it's better for portrait photography and weddings but not sure which route to go. Wish I could afford both.
Shooting football with any equipment is fun, but this video has given me some things to think about as I look at replacing my D60. Thanks!
Hello @Jared Polin, at 10:26 of this video, what type of ball head are you using for the hot shoe? Thanks!
I am trying to decide between the D750 or Canon's 5D Miii. I am a hobbyist, but would like to eventually take professional photos by shooting portraits, weddings, etc. Which would you suggest?
At 6:27 you could've pre-focused on the ground and get some great stills of the players.
hi Jared Polin really a good review man... as u tested the new nikon d750 what do u think if u compare it to the d810 in the low light performance is it better than d810.. Because i want to upgrade from the dx to the fx but i can not chose between the d810 or d750.. as apro which one is better in iso..note that i am interested in widding photography.
thx man
Thank you so much for explaining it in detail, and I'm a show and visual kind of person. So, I'm really glad that you explain how the features would be beneficial for.
Taking the time to do your research and mostly, watch these hands on reviews from the pro's is the best thing anyone can do before putting down a big chunk of change for a camera, or anything for that matter.
great review....now the question is should I get the D750 or the upcoming D500?
+jared polin - the flip out LCD is really handy for high angle work on a tripod.
E.g. Shooting detail/abstracts on tall buildings.
Also good for low work on a tripod.
I've used it for both with manual focus and live view to punch in to refine the focus. (The low work was not my d750 buy my em5 , but same idea)
I lovet Nikon D750 ❤
I just wonder if it makes more sense to use a D7100 in crop mode then you could get 400mm out of a 70-200mm 2.8 I wonder if that sensor has got enough ISO range to shoot that kind of event at night?
The angled screen is also good for photos at low angles, IF you do manual focus. I do this all the time on my gh4 + Nikon glass, of course the gh4 has focus peaking to assist manual focusing.
Hey Jared! I have a Nikon D700 which is six years old but still working well. I need another camera for events and action photography so have been saving up for the D4s. What are your thoughts about a second lens for me. The D750 looks good but I also know the D4s is outstanding. I am doing wild horse photography so looking for more of an action camera. Plus event photography I can't switch between zoom and wide angle lens so I need two camera bodies.Thanks for any help.
Jared, the screen is awesome for macro as well ;)
I used that feature in sony cameras and I missed that in nikons.
very interesting video! I just want to buy this camera !! Can I ask What are the objectives have you used in the video? and that you have the camera mounted in the SLR?
Great review. I made up my mind to finally purchase the D750 instead of the D810 just a few days ago, which I can save some bucks to invest in more glass. And thanks for the tips and tutorials man, your assistance has brought me to a higher level photographer
+Marcus Souksi ur holding ur cam in weird way... i guess...
+InstitutCrear The guy took the photo before I was even 'posing'
The pull out lcd would be good for real estate images where you pull back as far into a corner as poss and room to correct distortion, up to now the vertical viewfinder attachment has been one of the only good quick options, this 'could' improve on this without twisting your back and neck around - I've not tested the actual screen yet.
Is it me, or all full frame DSLRs scrunch up the AF points in the middle of the frame? Correct me otherwise.
Yes. And it's a pain in the arse when you have to focus on eyes and then move the camera to reframe. Do this with an aperture at f1.4 and even that slight movement to reframe can give you blurred eyes.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kyle Jayden Instablaster ;)
@Kole Melvin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Lot of Information in a real photo Situation ! Much more interesting than this "talking at the table revieuws". Really well done Jared, more of those ones please !!!
Another great review! Looks like a D750 is in my future.
I would love to see a review of those big telephotos. The existing reviews are super lame compared to the in depth and honest review that I know you would give!!
Hope more Nikons have the tilting LCD screen. Other manufacturers like Canon and Sony have had them for a while. Some pro's don't want to use it (some might even be against it) but no harm in having the option there, right?
I need to shoot real estate. I don't know how to take pictures with windows, it's very bright. I have set up bracketing exposure in my Nikon 750. How I can overlay 3 photos with different exposure if I do not have a Photoshop? Is there any functions in camera? Or some free app?
Very good video! This is the stuff that really helps me make that 2000 dollar decision. I'm getting so tempted by the dark side with this camera! If only I could use my EF 70-200 2.8 ii. I would be down at Allen's camera right now!!!
Hi Jared, your reviews are ace, no doubt about that at all. However, I would like to ask you a question about the Nikon D750. I am seriously considering upgrading from a D300s to the D750, and my question to you is;
Can we connect a remote trigger cable, because, I can't seem to notice the port from the pics and videos etc...
Can you help please ?
Regards
JNN
I don't know if this helps, but I use a Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control (Infrared) for my D750. It works pretty well.
Did you use the Flat video mode? ....any post, or that's how it came out right off the camera?
Hey +Jared Polin
would you recommend any of the kit lenses that the 750 comes with or no?
24-85 or 24-120
hi..im going to europe next month,can u recommend a lens for this camera for shooting nice architectures there..thanks
Thanks Jared, sound like the Nikon D750 might just be the Nikon I've been waiting to get next.
Thank you for this thorough video, Jared. Although I don't have the cash to use or own this equipment, I can apply the concepts on my DSLR for photo and video. Keep doing what you're doing!
Hi Jared ... Nice review ! Question: What would you recommend, in terms of ring flash/led lights for VIDEO, on a D600 or D810 ...
Which glass would you use to shoot basketball sitting on the floor behind the basket? Thanks for this video especially, just a 750.
Hey I have a question for you. How did you start and how do you get customers?
Phenomenal video Jared!
I'm sorry if I missed it, did you say what ISO you shot the video of the football game in? All of the video in this piece looked amazing, I'm really thinking about adding this to my arsenal. It looks like it hangs well with the GH4 for video, and maybe a lot better in low light... Plus the stills with great glass must be amazing in full rez too.
hey, in this vid you shoot with VR on despite shooting at 1/1000 (faster actually). I've heard and found the VR can actually make shots more blury when shooting at high shutter speeds. What has been your experience?
The lo viewfinder angle helps for night sky with camera ~ on tripod aimed up, pointing up at a high angle, live view focusing on stars etc.
I agree that the d750 seems to be an awesome piece of equipment (with the right glass). In regards to the tilt screen, I find it very beneficial seeing as I'm not '6"4 for high shots or '4"2 for low shots. The stigma of "if a professional does it then the world is in balance" is bologna (not being negative, don't get me wrong). This my first time checking out the Fro Dude (Jared) and I appreciate his feedback.
Thanks for the image samples. This will definitely help me make a buying decision and whether I should switch to FX.
Thanks for this amazing review :)
Sanket Sonavane you're welcome.
Too bad you didn't grab a cute cheerleader for some portraits with a lens we are more likely to own. :)
First Nikon Full Frame camera to have a pull out screen. Sony's A99 has had a tilt-swivel screen for 2 years now.
+Maxwell Starr Sadly the A99 isn't a DSLR though, it is a mirrorless. I think many are still sticking away from Mirrorless cameras until the technology and etc matures more, especially in AF abilities
+Vueey Le Technically speaking the A99 is still a DSLR. DSLR, meaning 'Digital Single Lens Reflex', means that there is a Reflex mirror that reflects light out of the viewing path to aid with framing and focusing. What's different is Sony's implementation of it, where the reflected light goes into an always-on focus system and the mirror never moves. Mirrorless implies no mirror at all, and he smaller size/shorter flange distance that comes with scrapping the mirror.
Sony's branding of it as 'SLT' Single Lens Translucent' was unfortunate however because now you have plenty of people saying they're not DSLRs (they're not traditional DSLRs but still DSLRs). But the term 'Reflex' doesn't mean moving mirror, after all, the mirrors didn't move in TLR (Twin-Lens Reflex) cameras like the Rolleiflex.
The Sony a500 my dad has (6 year old camera) is pretty good and has a tilt screen
Hey Jared. Great info. I have been using my new D750 for about a month now and love it. I'm still learning and have a question about "-3 EV". I think you mentioned you shot everything at this game in "manual" mode but then you mentioned the -3 EV worked well with autofocus. Doesn't the exposure compensation only come into play when in one of the auto modes vs manual modes? Hope the question makes sense... Thanks in advance for the information and education!
He means the auto focus points are sensitive to -3ev which basically means you can grab focus when it's really dark. This thing focuses in lower light than the D4S and D810!
I still don't get EV. When you adjust it does the camera change the shutter speed, aperture and iso?
Max Hartzenberg It's a way to measure darkness/amount of light in general.
great review, very informative so far I'm only half way thru. how is AF in video mode? there is touch on the LCD? really wondering how face detection works in video mode. i know it wouldn't make much sense in the video with so many faces and obstruction of helmets and all but wondering in general does face detection keep up with a face like the 70D does? thanks!!
What do you use to shoot the actual video? Love your vids
11:14 I heard some old time Nikoners say the opposite, like they changed something on this D750. What did they change if that's true? I'm about to move to Nikon so this is my first one, not that I care having different buttons or something but did they actually change something or that's wrong?
how does he get does dynamic colors in the photos ? is it because of shooting in raw format or is it post prossesing in the computer or what ?
