Can someone give me a QRD on the differences between the d700, d800, and d750. While the 700 & 800 are pretty close in price, the 750 is about $200 more. Is there any reason to pay the premium for the 750?

Also I don't care about the megapixel difference. I'm just looking for a digital body counterpart to share lenses with my f100

The D750 is just newer.
D700 is so lowres it's a toy.
D800 is great.
D810 is a straight upgrade, but just barely (slightly lower ISO cap and a very miniscule increase in dynamic range are the most notable features).
D750 is a downgrade of the D810, with lower (but still relatively high) resolution, but with a higher res LCD and other basically useless features.
The D850 is an insane monster and probably the best DSLR ever made.

Basically the higher the number the higher the resolution but the slower the burst rate. 12, 24, 36mp and 4, 6.5, and 8fps respectively. Also the D750 gets a tilting screen with a slightly higher res, but also has a 1/4000 max shutter speed instead of 1/8000.

Kek. And if its not bad enough, it doesnt even have IBIS.

Literally the cheapest micro four thirds camera > D810 + tripod.

So you admit nikon DSLRs are worse than micro four thirds. Glad we're in agreement.

An EM1III shooting landscapes at base ISO with the power of IBIS and the compositional flexibility of an articulating screen will mog a d750
>d750 has to stop down lens 3-4 times to be sharp, m43 is sharp wide open
>d750 has to use ISO 1600 handheld for a single shitty shot without a tripod, m43 can use ISO 200 and then gain even more DR and resolution with handheld pixel shift, mogging fool frame for all eternity
>em1iii: barely weighs anything
>d750: ugly boat anchor the size of a childs skull
Fool frame status: BTFO

Reminder DSLRnosaurs were forced to go mirrorless by the popularity of fujifilm and micro for thads

It's just facts. Once equivalence is accounted for the d750 can't compete with micro for thads. And equivalence will be accounted for, because super soft DSLRnosaur lenses need to be stopped down 4 times to approach the sharpness of m43 glass wide open. Only FF mirrorless money wasters with bazooka sized lenses can claim to have anything over micro for THADS.

So I've been looking at DP review trying to figure out the differences it seems like aside from the megapixel count the d750, d800 and d700 are basically the same camera. the d800 has more megapixels, the d750 has better low light AF and the d700 is the same as the d800 with 1/3 of the megapixels.

The 810 seems like it has some nice upgrades, lower base iso (thus higher DR), a front electronic front curtain, which is nice. A highlight-weighted metering mode. Which is something I've missed having.

Idk if that's worth the ~$300 price gap though. I also like the idea of an AA filter, I don't like the 'digital sharpness' so inducing a little softness may help me like the character a bit more.

Micro four thirds is much closer to film, and yet still better than it with more dynamic range and resolution

I've owned a D810 for six years so I'll share my two cents compared to the D800.

>lower ISO cap has been nice when scanning film
>D800 is the only camera with an AA filter, D800E and D810 don't have one. The difference is pretty negligible unless you are a turbo pixel peeper though
>the D810's shutter is a lot more quiet and crisp (even on regular mode) compared to the D800/E. May be of importance for wildlife or event photography, won't matter otherwise
>D810 has slightly higher FPS (probably irrelevant for you)
>D810 has slightly better autofocus (irrelevant if you're using manual glass or shooting landscapes)

Either camera is a great choice and I'd argue the extra money you'd put towards a D810 would be better spent on nicer lenses. Hope this helps your decision

Perhaps crisp wasn't the appropriate word for the feeling I'm trying to capture. The 810's shutter has this tight, direct sound that reminds me of crisp winter air, hence my word choice. The 800's shutter sound is very pleasing in it's own right, too

Thanks, that was helpful and you're right a lot of those things don't matter to me and I already have a dedicated scanning camera which has a pixel shift feature, which is far more useful than the lower ISO. I'll probably end up with the d800 unless I can get an 810 off ebay for a good price.

>>4361690
I've actually seen quite a few very nice shots from the existing p&s m43 cameras. I can't recall the models just now, but they were Panasonics. But for the most part it seems like the flaws with digital sensors get magnified the smaller the sensor is. The only way I'd use one is if they could somehow make it smaller than existing film cameras like the Pentax LX, Nikon F3, Canon A1, etc.. while retaining the viewfinder and interchangeable lenses, otherwise I'd just rather use those since the character of film is just so much nicer.

You'd do fine with any of them I think.
I went with the D750 when I was going from DX to full frame because it was the youngest fullframe Nikon within my budget. As the main reason I was going full-frame at all was for less-noisy high ISO, I decided to go with the youngest sensor I could afford. I also liked that it has the similar controls to the D7200 I used before, so there was nothing to re-learn about using it. But if you're not coming from a DX Nikon DSLR you won't have the muscle memory to consider this as any kind of advantage.

None of the cameras being discussed here have IBIS.
OP, make sure to include money in your budget for at least one VR lens.
VR lenses in the DSLR world has kind of a reputation as being something that was only either for expensive telephoto zooms, or cheap crappy kit zoom lenses. Nobody ever made anything like a good affordable 50mm prime that also had VR.
A dirty little secret of Nikon is that the 18-55mm VR, an APS-C kit lens that costs about $60 used, is usable on full frame from about 24-55mm.

Remember that D8xx having a much higher resolution means that they produce much larger files. This means more expenses for storage and post-processing, if you want your computer to be as fast.
The D750 also has an integrated flash (but who uses this anyway).
Also consider the difference in body weight, which can be a factor for some people.

I think the idea is, if you're outdoors at a casua family picnic or whatever, taking pictures of like kids and dogs, and you suddently find yourself wanting a flash because they are backlit or in deep shade with full-sun landscape in the background, you probably didn't bother to bring any other flashes, and the popup flash is better than literally nothing.
of course this is a rare use-case for a pro using camera for pro things, and harkens to the bygone era of the digital camera as "family camera", that everybody uses their phone for now.

Both groups of people are retarded. If you liked your photos you wouldn't care what people thought and if you enjoyed photography, you wouldn't care if someone's photo was bad, you'd just move on. The call and response of pixel peeping is insecurity, people desperate for validation take all criticism as fact and people scorned for not receiving the validation they think they deserve go out and get mad about bad photos enough to the point where they feel the need to comment.

Buy VR lens.

is buying a D700 stupid if I already have a D7100? I never feel terribly inspired when I shoot it, and I kinda want a digital body to pair with the MF lenses I use on my F3 (24mm 2.8, 55mm 2.8, 105mm 2.5). D700 bodies are really cheap and I'm tempted by its "colors" and build quality.

Iso still reacts with plastics. It should only be used on metal and glass.

Clean cameras by dipping a microfiber cloth in soapy water and wringing it of excess until you can not get a droplet to come out. Do the same thing again with pure water, no soap. Do not use soaked rags or other chemicals.

The D700 has a 12MP sensor. It is a toy, and a downgrade from your D7100.
Get a D800 instead. They are dirt cheap.

Now what I genuinely don't understand is why the D850 goes for well over a thousand but the D800 can be had for 300. Isn't the D800 95% of the way there? Straight image quality wise the D850 seems just marginally superior.

because a bunch of boomers have this meme where the d850 is supposedly the peak of cameras. no tech logic to it, and artistes call it soulless. they are just rabid fanboys.

think of how fuji x100 and XE prices are inflated. they are not especially good cameras they just have fanboys.

When something's (supposedly) the bets you will always have a good number of people who just have to have it, regardless of how minor of an improvement over the second bets it might be. Something being the last also helps collectability.
So if you think the D800 is basically as good then, congratulations, all the attention the D850 gets likely helps keep the D800's price down.

not really. I have a sony FF mirrorless along with a d300, d700, and d810. I like taking out the d700 since it still takes great pics and the 12 megapixel is small enough that I don't care about snapping hundreds of pics.

well bros, I ended up buying the D700. although I like my manual focus lenses, I figure a convenient zoom will be nice for certain occasions. debating between the 24-120mm f4 and the 28-300mm f3.5-5.6. is more reach worth the trade-off in sharpness? does the sharpness even have that much of an effect on a 12mp body?

I'd rather go with f4 throughout than a variable. Remember, the D700 doesn't have the kind of ISO flexibility modern cameras have.

also fair. I think I'm more often shooting outdoors than indoors, but the option would be appreciated.

another thing that factors in is the fact that I already have a range of prime lenses that overlap with the 24-120. 28-300 goes to more than double the length of my longest lens and my camera backpack doesn't have the space for a nicer longer telephoto zoom desu.

D700 is garbage, so it probably doesn't matter, but the 24-120mm f4 is vastly superiour to the variable 28-300mm.

Smaller, cheaper, and only a fraction of a stop slower the 24-120, but 4mm wider than the 28-whatever..

If you actually have a want for a lens with more reach and not doing it "just because" then chances are you will end up using it more often on the D7100, reach is one of the advantages of crop bodies. In that case you'll be dealing with a lot higher pixel density and the required lens sharpness so as another anon said get something like a 70-300.

You're in CCD land my friend
Try to keep the ISO in the 200-400 range.
Use fast lenses, VR lenses, and tripods.
Highlights will blow out beyond the capability of saving them from the RAW file, way easier than on a modern camera.

With a D700 and your broke student budget I'd opt for the 24-120 and a 200mm f/4 AI or perhaps a 180mm f/2.8 (AI or AF). It depends on your subject matter ofc but you'll probably not be using >200mm as much as you think. That 4mm extra at the wide end also makes a bigger difference than you may realize, doubly so if it eliminates your need to carry a wide prime on casual outings

am beginning to think I'll get the 24-120 for now because it's fairly compact and sharp. I realistically won't use the long end of the 28-300 most of the time, so the larger aperture and higher IQ of the 24-120 would do me better. I do think I would eventually like a long telephoto prime or zoom for hikes and capturing wildlife.

This. One of my most favorite lenses is the 28-85 3.5-4.5D. Extremely sharp for what it is. Bought it last year for like $50 and its now my hiking/carry around lens on my D600 & N80.
Heard great things about the 28-105 and that IQ is roughly the same, but with more reach.
