    Nikon D750 & D780

    It's not a big deal, just another thing I have to keep an eye on.

    Nikon D750 & D780

    That looks good, but expensive for something I'll probably lose within five minutes, think I'll stick with not having one at all. One thing I have noticed about the d750 is it eats batteries. The battery in the d700 would pretty much get me through a whole wedding. The d750 battery needed...

    They wouldn't work either, hanging the cameras off dual sling straps, the eyecup would be knocked off in no time. So wish the d750 had the round flush like one on the d700/d800/d4 etc. Saying that it's not uncomfortable to use without the cup, so not to bothered in replacing it.

    Nikon D750 & D780

    Shot my first wedding at the weekend with the d750 along side one of my trusty old d700s. The d750 performed flawlessly, what a great little camera. I think the things that impress me most, are the AF speed, iso performance and obviously the dynamic range. The only negative I have is the...

    Nikon D750 & D780

    Thank you guy. So effectively it has replaced lenses on the long end like the 85 and 70-200. That's interesting, definitely worth the consideration. Just waiting on a d750 to try out, saving weight is a big bonus to me, the 58mm doesn't look much heavier than a sigma 35 art which I use a lot...

    Nikon D750 & D780

    Hi guy Great images. Love the look of 58mm What percentage of a wedding would you use the 58mm. I'm thinking of getting one, but not quite sure where it would fit in with the way I work. At the moment I shoot mostly with the 35mm paired with a 70-200. Was thinking of getting an 85 to use...

    They do look a little overlooked.

    Nikon D750 & D780

    Having read that Ross Harvey review....he makes an amazing case for the d750. The only thing that bothers me a little is the lack of the dedicated back button focus button. Does look like a great little camera and a massive leap in performance to the d700's I currently use. May have to buy one...

    Nikon D750 & D780

    I currently use two d700 bodies which starting to feel a little worn.....but waiting and waiting for nikon to bring out a worthy upgrade. Was hoping the d750 was it. It isn't......looks like the d750 was my final hope of a true d700 replacement. So disappointed with this offering. Finally...

    First wedding in November...

    I guess it depends who the client is....I wouldn't be happy to pay a photographer to shoot my wedding that was going supply me with noisy badly composed images. I don't care how polite they are, if the images are crap we have a problem......:mad:

    Beginner i keep blowing highlights

    Blown highlights is the fashion at the moment....:banana: Joking aside. Id avoid auto iso. It will make you lazy and you won't learn the exposure triangle. With practice you will be able to walk into a situation and roughly know what your camera settings will need to be. As people have said...
