Nikon D750
I'm thinking of going from cropped to full frame. Currently using a Nikon D7200 and looking at the D750.I've looked at a couple of reviews, but wondering if anyone on here has experience of shooting with one.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Re: Nikon D750
I have two, and love them! Never had any issues in about two years of use. Highly recommend it that's for sure!

Re: Nikon D750
I've got a 700 and 800 in full frame and they are both great, but usually use the 800 and the others a back up. I put the image area into one of the control buttons, so I can easily switch to 1.2x or 1.5x .... so DX is still readily available if needed.

Re: Nikon D750
I was looking at upgrading to a D750 but was put off by the inclusion of an anti aliasing filter which according to the Techies can reduce sharpness?
The more expensive D810 does not have the anti aliasing filter

Re: Nikon D750
I would suggest the pixel count difference between these two camera models explains why the latter does not need an antialiasing filter. Also in the real world, your technique is going to play a bigger part in the sharpness you achieve, and as megapixel counts increase it is less forgiving.slogen51 wrote:I was looking at upgrading to a D750 but was put off by the inclusion of an anti aliasing filter which according to the Techies can reduce sharpness?

Re: Nikon D750
Nikon removed that filter from the D3300 when it came out a couple of years ago.
I have a D3300 and also would like to upgrade to full frame such as the D750 - I like the DX compatibility in order to get extra reach on my existing 70-200 f2.8 when required.
I too have read quite a bit about the anti aliasing filter and a lot of it goes above my head. However, it does seem that the market was surprised to see this filter back. I agree that it probably won't have a visible effect on sharpness but I just don't like the idea that other effects such as moire reduction are being enhanced at the cost of sharpness.
For me personally sharpness is king!

Re: Nikon D750
it is all a compromise. If you already have good technique, the finest of lenses and filters, camera clamped to rock steady tripod, shooting mostly natural subjects, then perhaps the next thing to worry about should be whether the bayer sensor camera has an OLPF.

Re: Nikon D750
It depends on what you're going to use it for. The D7200 is a great camera, and if its just for aviation i wouldn't bother changing, you'll not suddenly get better photos with a D750, and if you crop a lot they'll be worse. If you're wanting it for more general purpose stuff then the D750 will have an edge for high ISO indoor shots etc, but you'd need to invest in more expensive FX lenses too (i have the D7200 and 2 Full Framers btw)Green133 wrote:I'm thinking of going from cropped to full frame.

Re: Nikon D750
Cheers for replies.
Regards the low pass filter, yes from what I'd read it seems to be a slight advantage to not have one.
Predominantly my interest is aviation and I like the D7200, but I don't seem to get enough keepers.Although my technique may be responsible for that. Lens wise I have a Nikkor 80-400, Sigma 150-600 sport and a Tamron 24-70.All have had fairly good reviews.
It's just when looking at images posted, the majority of the good ones seem to come from full frame cameras, although admittedly there's usually a f2.8 or F4 lens used and an unknown amount of editing. When I've spoken to other photographers most have said once you make the step across you notice the difference in the results (subject to technique).
So maybe keep the D7200 and spend on a F4 prime.

Re: Nikon D750
The game changer for me was spending money on a decent (second hand ) lens
I have a F2.8 70-200 vrII - for me it made a huge difference over a f4 - f5.6 etc

Re: Nikon D750
I'm not sure i'd agree with that statement. Your camera is good enough to provide you with great results and i'd challenge you to tell the difference between my aircraft images taken by my D7200, D810 or D4. Your Sigma 150-600 is a capable lens, though i found the 80-400 to be a bit soft tbh. More likely a potential technique, settings or post processing issue.Green133 wrote:Cheers for replies.

I think it means the DOF perception with a full frame makes a subject 'pop' out in an image. I've heard that about the 80-400.I'm not sure about mine, as I've never really tested it.

Re: Nikon D750
Apparently the size of each pixel is important , not just how many
http://www.digicamdb.com/compare/nikon_ ... ikon_d810/
The D810 had many more pixels than the D750 But the pixels in the D750 are bigger and therefore capture more information.
http://www.digicamdb.com/compare/nikon_ ... kon_d7200/
The pixel pitch of the D750 is 50% larger then those in the D7200
(A smartphone has a lot of very small pixels.)
To be honest it's a case of what's your budget and get out there and enjoy yourself!

Re: Nikon D750
I have both. I suppose the answer is pros and cons.
The D750, will on the whole, produce a better image with slightly less noise at same ISO.
They sharpen nicely as well and I find noise can be controlled fairly easily (I'm using Lightroom).
It will however lose you the extra reach with any given lens compared to the D7200.
The D7200 is very good for a DX body, probably pipped only by the D500 but look at the price difference.
Use the D750 with good lenses and you'll be happy.
My first impression was that the body was only slightly bigger than the D7200 so that was good.
It feels good in the hand, better than the D7200.
Controls are virtually the same.
My only real (slightly) negative point is the shutter clunk, it is rather loud.
It's great paired with the 200-500 and 70-200 f4 which I use (but so is the D7200).
Pays yer money and takes yer choice.

Re: Nikon D750
I am building up to buying a D750
Am I correct in thinking that if required, it is simple to switch into DX mode for the 'extra reach' (focal length - not a distant C-17!)

Re: Nikon D750
Can't speak for the D750 but it's easy with the D610, but you have to bear in mind that in DX mode you are shooting with the equivalent of a 10mp camera instead of a 24mp one.slogen51 wrote:Am I correct in thinking that if required, it is simple to switch into DX mode for the 'extra reach' (focal length - not a distant C-17!)
