Nearly a decade on from its launch in September 2014, the Nikon D750 is still a very capable camera that’ll handle pretty much any photography application you can throw at it. The Big N launched this much-loved DSLR as the debutant in a range of compact and lightweight fullframe bodies. And while such a statement might garner a wry smile in today’s mirrorless market, stacked up against the D810 and D4, it was notably smaller and lighter. But what was perhaps most interesting was the press release’s claim of “full-scale specifications (...) pursuing those of professional models.”
PRO POWER – ENTHUSIAST PRICE The D750 boasted a new FX-format sensor and the, then, top-notch EXPEED 4 image processor. And according to Nikon, this delivered superior image quality to the D810 at high ISO sensitivities. In fact, its impressive low-light capabilities still hold up today. Add to that a respectable 6.5fps burst speeds, a new AF sensor module, top LCD screen and dual SD card slots, and it’s not surprising that the D750 was adopted by enthusiast and professional photographers alike. It even preceded over a few Nikon firsts. It was the first FX Nikon to sport a tilting rear LCD, feature built-in Wi-Fi and have seven special effects modes (accessed via the mode dial).
