Nikon D750 (2014–2024)

Name: Nikon D750
Brand: Nikon

The Nikon D750 is a full-frame DSLR that Nikon slotted between the D610 and the D810. It was a niche model for pros and enthusiasts who wanted the image quality of the bigger bodies in a lighter, more versatile package. Nikon announced it at Photokina in Cologne and launched it in late September 2014 at a suggested retail price of $2,300 body-only. It was Nikon's first full-frame DSLR with built-in Wi-Fi. The tilting 3.2-inch LCD and dual SD card slots made it a natural fit for event and wedding shooters. Imaging Resource (2014) reported that the D750 reached the DxOMark top ten in sensor testing.

The core specs hold up well for the era. You get a 24.93MP full-frame CMOS sensor with a uni-directional anti-aliasing filter, the EXPEED 4 image processor, a 51-point Multi-CAM 3500FX II autofocus system shared with the D810, and a 91k-pixel RGB metering sensor. Continuous shooting runs to 6.5 fps. ISO spans 100-12,800 natively (expandable to 51,200). Video is Full HD 1080p at up to 60 fps with an integrated stereo microphone. The metering and AF system is the same as the D810's, so images were very comparable to Nikon's pro-level body. Reviewers found the D750 files clearly better than the D810 at high ISOs.

The D750 had its troubles. Nikon issued a shutter recall for cameras produced between October and November 2014. Affected bodies could lock up, display an "err" message, or require a second shutter click. A separate flare issue was also repaired under service. Owner reports of repeated shutter failures persist on forums, though other shooters report years of trouble-free use. Common used-market advice is to check the shutter count and confirm whether the recall work was done.

Nikon officially discontinued the D750 in 2024. Used prices have dropped well below the original $2,300 launch figure. Japanese market listings showed around ¥94,800, and a 2025 buyer's perspective still called it a worthwhile second-hand purchase.
