And people say Canon is behind??

Maybe they meant "first FF dslr that's not faulty" ?

;D lol

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

I enjoy Thom Hogan, even if he is a Nikon shooter.

He's made the point that for many people, the current state of the art is all the camera anyone is likely to ever need. It's a good reality check after reading 30- and 40-page threads with people arguing over insignificant differences in sensors.

He's hinted that he might switch over to Canon eventually after trying the 1Dx. I hope he does so, since after Rog Galbraith stopped blogging to concentrate on his new position as a university professor, I feel like there's a void that needs to be filled on the Canon side.

Yeah, his most recent advice to the camera companies is that something game-changing would be anything that improves workflow like the iPhone. More and more DR, high ISO noise, etc, is not necessarily going to convince laypeople to part with their dollars these days since everything is more than "good enough" for their purposes like Facebook, etc.

I post his links here hoping that one day the forum denizens will follow his wisdom, but who am I kidding? Glad I could meet another bythom reader here though.

I know you love to hate Canon, but backing up your post with some evidence would be nice.

No problem: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/36140355 - judge for yourself...

Your claim that I somehow "hate" Canon only reflects on yourself. Please point to what merits that claim?

I own a ton of Canon gear - including several large whites. I shot Canon all the time. I have posted many positive Canon reviews through the years. Finally, I have had the privilege of working directly with Canon, including being invited to their HQ in Tokyo to meet their top management. I'd be very happy to work with them again one day - and I'm very sure vice-versa is also true.

I am well aware that not paying respect to the perceived infallibility and supremacy of Canon in everything is considered "bashing" by some people here. But spare me the cheap labelling.

I'm not a Canon worshiper by any means, but I think that a forum post about two photos of similar subjects (the link is broken, but I know the photo) is pretty thin evidence if you can call it that. Is there any chance that Canon liked the ballerina photo and chose to do that again with the new 300mm? It's not like it's the same girl in both photos.

As for the other comments, I haven't read all of your posts, but you sure seem to have a negative slant towards Canon for someone who now says he has such a close relationship with them. If I have read you the wrong way, I apologize for that. It's not my intention to get into it with anyone, but I like to see people who can back up their claims.

HAHA! so a retailer messed up an important ad, that's gotta be a bit embarrassing
they did correct it quickly tho

What about the real information on the D750 ?

and the simple little SB-500 flash for only $250 w LED video light?

fast 20mm f/1.8G prime $800

These are all very appealing features/cost.

if they kit the 750 with the little 24-85mm they could likely list that around $2650, wicked kit!
happily, I still don't need one.

wow, so much fanboy-ism it is sad. the D750 isn't late any more than the canon 3D is late. The d750 is a very affordable camera for nikon people looking for a 6+fps light MP count body.

Why can't people enjoy competition instead of turning everything into a religious debate? IMHO, this is a great camera for the price and I have no doubt a lot of nikon shooters who would have opted for a 5DMKIII won't any more which is probably what nikon set out to do.

They already switched, and they're not switching back for D620.

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.

I only had a chance to do a quick glance at dpreview's announcement. Looked like mostly positive comments and I don't read Nikon forums so I suppose what you say is representative of the situation there. I would suppose the current 700 users would not like it because it's not a giant leap forward? I'm sure it'll sell well in any case.
