Nikon 750D real world review

[tron]

The D750 isn't any better then the 5D3 at high ISO.

Actually, it is at least 2/3 of a stop better. I sold my 6D and several L lens, about 2 weeks ago, and purchased the D750. The D750 is cleaner at high ISO's than my former 6D was, by at least 1/3 or so of a stop. I can push high ISO images much better with the D750 than I could with the 6D.

Still trying to figure out which Nikon lens are worth a crap, most of the Nikon primes are slower to focus than the Canon counterparts.

You sold your 6D and L lenses for 1/3 or so of a stop?

And now you are trying to fgure out which of the slower focusing Nikon lenses are at least worth a crap?

now now chaps he actually sold it for 2/3rds of a stop

The comparison was with 6D not 5D3. But even if we take "at least" into consideration we may be talking of a 1/2 stop difference... Questions remain...

Shot 5DMKIII and D750 side by side for 2 days. 750D has less colornoise and looks cleaner @ 6400 and above. 3200 is pretty much the same. Still I prefer Canon color reproduction, even tho Nikon has more realistic colors.

mabye, but i often wish i could somehow get just 1-2 stop more DR out of my canon RAWs.
would not give me a proper exposed outside but made things way better.
it´s seems nikon can do that without a problem.

then look at the 5D Mk3 picture in the review, they are unusable.

Have you tried MagicLantern's DualISO?

Use of ML can damage your camera and they say so. It is not something that just "anyone" or "everyone" should use.

Nope! I have been using ML for over a year for dual ISO and focus stacking and I have had ZERO problems. The thing to note is that I have been using one of the nightly builds and it is stable. I have not used it for movies so I can't vouch for stability there but I am sure there are some on this forum who could give you an opinion on that.

he says with the nikon he can now shoot natural light in situations who he HAD to use a flash with canon.

The only place I see a high ISO advantage in the FF market is with the A7S. The D750 isn't any better then the 5D3 at high ISO.

ps: you don´t have to underexpose 5 stops it´s better too when you only underexpose 2 stops.

No it's not. Generally you have to get into 3+ stop push territory before there's a difference. This is a bit simplified because it depends in part on how deep the tones are. But in the field I've found you can pretty reliably push up to 3 stops with a Canon sensor.

and who likes blown out windows in interiors shots? every minute saved in PS is money.

Unless the interior is exceptionally bright on its own, even a 5ev underexposure / shadow push is not going to let you keep the windows from blowing out. The one wedding shot in his review with a window in the background is blown out.

The D750 is a fine camera for the price if you don't mind the some what consumer styled UI or the buffer. (Why does Nikon always skimp on the buffer?) But the sensor is on par with what one would expect from any FF sensor.

If you have the money I have to agree with 9VIII, the D810 is the DSLR to buy in the Nikon lineup.

I edit thousands of wedding photos with extremes of brightness and contrast and my pushing and pulling range in Lightroom is from +2 to -2. Usually it is just from +1 to -1. In-camera metering is good enough that it's very rare to need to push or pull more than 2 stops. How often does one get a nearly black frame?

If I were a Nikon shooter, I would be all over the D750. But I would not sell a 5D3 or 6D for a D750. Not for 1/3 stop or even more. Canon lenses are too good to give up.

 

[zlatko]

Absolutely, and I certainly don't want to come off as biased against it. IMHO the D750 means Canon should drop the price on the 5D3 until the 5D4 is available.

It will be interesting to see what happens with 5D3 pricing. For someone who isn't heavily invested in either system, I don't see any incentive to purchase a 5D3 over a D750. If someone who isn't heavily invested in either system asked for my opinion regarding both bodies, I'd tell them both are great tools, but the D750 clearly offers more value for the dollar.

These products are similar, but the price of one has little to do with the price of the other. That's because they're not easily interchangeable. Each is attached to a complex system, and that system is at least as important as the body. The incentive to purchase a 5D3 (or 6D) over a D750 is still connected to the system behind it, the unique lenses, the ergonomics, the service, etc.
