Renting a D750 for the last few days. Sending it back tomorrow. I got it primarily to test if I could use it for my Sports photography. I knew it would be fine for anything else.
My primary needs are Wi-Fi transfers to my iPhone for Social Media sharing for my clients, accurate and fast focusing and a good enough frames per second to capture sports action. The Nikon D750 is excellent in the first two needs and I am still trying to decide if the 6.5 FPS is "good enough". If they had only made it 8fps (even with a battery grip) this camera would have been a slam dunk for me.
The Wi-Fi works great with the Nikon app for selection and transferring photos to my iPhone even in a crowd of over 6,000 people with various networks and hot spots to contend with. Allowing me to take photos, select the one I want via the camera, downloading it to the iPhone, quick edit and crop and messaging the photo to the team's Social Media person.
Focusing was a dream compared to the D7100. I used AF-C (Continuous) with Dynamic 21 points and rarely missed a shot. I use back focus.
Here's a couple of examples using the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR I lens and AUTO1 White Balance:
1/1000s, f/4, ISO 2800, EV +1.3, 75mm FL (cropped for composition)
1/1000s, f/4, ISO 2800, EV +1.3, 70mm FL (cropped for composition)
Last night I did a high school lacrosse game under the lights. Everyone who as used one has raved about the ISO capabilities of the D750. I would like to add my name to that list.
1/500s, f/4, ISO 8000, EV +0.7, 200mm (300mm in DX (1.5x) mode) FL (cropped for composition)
I am still going to wait for the summer to see if Nikon comes out with another DX or FX body. I will say this, any new cameras better have the built-in Wi-Fi. If not, I will run to get the D750.
I have one more hockey game tonight with it. Looking forward to using the D750 and that says a lot..
