• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

And people say Canon is behind??

Because it's not a D700 update, it's a D610 update. Same controls as the D600/D7000 series, 1/4000 shutter, no battery boost for fps. It's a great camera, for sure, but it's definitely not allowed to compete with the D810. I'd rather if Nikon sold a D750 for $2800 or closer to what the D810 is selling for (basically the same price) as long as they take the D810 and lower the megapixel count and increase the frame rate. THAT would be a D700 follow up. This is more of a backup camera for a D810, which is basically the closest thing Nikon offers as a D700 replacement. If I still shot Nikon, THAT would be the camera I would get.

It sounds like a nice Camera, I'm wondering why it is three years late? For those long suffering Nikon users who wanted a update to their D700, its here.

LOL...
And I still remember Nikon commercials, where they used pictures and videos of Canon gear, and videos specifically made with Canon gear to advertise Canon gear :D :D :D

...or when Canon who reused old pictures and claimed they were taken with new lenses. Gotta love marketing; "Oh here's a nice picture"...
I'm familiar with the Nikon (and Panasonic, perhaps), but I don't remember, and I can't find any reference to your claim. I know you love to hate Canon, but backing up your post with some evidence would be nice.

Too little, too late. To clarify for those of you who don't understand why this isn't a D700 replacement, and to reiterate on Neuro's point that the camera is 2 years late: http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/d750-too-little-too-late.html

Go check out what people are saying on Nikonrumors. Split half and half between love and hate (hate from the D700 users).

I suppose it's the first one named "750". In any case, the Nikon loyal seem to be mostly loving this camera from the glance I've seen elsewhere. I'm not sure why. Seems like just another camera.

That's the 700D oops D700 that used the same 'ancient' tech as the Canon sensors, yet it is still considered a desirable camera by many. The odd Nikon missionary who pops our way now and again to try to enlighten us not included of course.

That "ancient" sensor was already ahead of Canon's for a while, and the autofocus was industry-leading at the time. That's why I used it before I moved to the 5DIII. It was either a 5DIII or a D3S, and I made the arbitrary choice to go with the mk iii (well, partly cost, partly Canon is the main camera for my line of industry and it helps with sharing backup equipment), either would have been good cameras. The D700 is still better than the D600 cameras in areas such as focus, build quality, professional controls (same controls as the d3 series cameras), high speed autofocus and 8 fps boost with the MB-D10 battery grip, larger buffer, CAM3500 autofocus system. The D750 has the same but slightly better autofocus system of the D810, better low-light autofocus specs on paper, better sensor, but eschews the professional D3 style controls, the 1/8000th, 1/250th shutter, and CF cards to meet its low price point and artificially not compete with the D810.
