Hey! I need a new camera. Till now I got Canon 1100d. I also worked with Nikon d5600, at first I wanted to buy this one but then I thought I could get smth even better. So for now, I am thinking about Nikon d750. But there are few things that bother me - weight, video-sequence it is not good (saying sone rewiews I read - but I am mostly photographer, but sometimes I'd like to do some video projects for myself too) and the screen (which is not fully articulated). What do you think?
Today I met a guy with Nikon d610 and yes, he agreed that d750 is a very good camera, but he would not invest his money again now. And he recommended to look for mirror-less cameras. But I could not find any mirror-less camera for a good prices and similar features as d750. So, what is your opinion about mirror-less camera? Do you have any idea for camera (of any type) to recommend me? Thank you!!!
 
Budget?
Any specific uses?
What lenses do you have at the moment?
 
Well, my budget is smth around 2400usd. I'd buy lenses as well.
I'd need a good camera in difficult light situations (p.e.: concerts, landscapes in any weather, etc..) and also movements photo is very important for me too
I prefer full frame. And those features I named that I miss with d750 (like fully articulated screen...).
 
Given that you give a budget in $US where are you based?
 
Not sure how much it will be out there but the D780 has had a good report.
 
I would recommend the Nikon D810, you should get a decent used one within your budget and it does good videos as well. That is what I use anyway. Heavier camera is easier to hold steady and may make a better balance with a larger lens

You've been using an APS-C camera and you are now looking at Full Frame cameras which have a bigger sensor and in some cases bigger lenses.

There are Full Frame mirrorless cameras from Sony, Canon and Nikon the cheapest of which is possibly the first generation Sony A7 (which I have and like) but if you want to keep the bulk and weight down there are mirrorless APS-C cameras and also even smaller (when you take into account both the camera and the lens) Micro Four Thirds cameras to choose from.
 
A good alternative to a D750 would be a Nikon Z6. If you are starting from 'scratch', then the Z system already has a few really excellent lenses, plus it can be used with the F-mount lenses with the FTZ adapter. The Z6 is small, reasonably light, but very well made, and has excellent low light performance. Some might argue the AF on the D750 is 'better', but I've not found my Z6 to be lacking in any way. And it has Eye AF, which I find extremely useful, a 'game-changer'. The lenses so far, whilst relatively expensive, are superb; my 50mm f1.8 is significantly better than the F-mount versions. It's the future.

Make a list of the features you must have in the camera then look for one which has the most of them.

Most full frame cameras don't have a fully articulated screen, so the Canons suggested above come closest. The Nikon's don't have such a screen. There are more options for this kind of screen in Micro Four Thirds cameras but they might not meet your other needs.

A mirrorless camera may allow you to shoot silently, which could be essential for concerts. My Z6 has this feature. As I mentioned above, it is excellent in low light. The screen isn't fully articulated, but it does tilt up and down. I have never personally felt the need for a fully articulated screen, but then I'm not a Vlogger. But the video capability in the Z6/Z7 is really good; it allows full frame shooting, whereas Canon's video is cropped. The Z cams also allow for full RAW shooting (albeit with a £200 upgrade), for pro-level production.
 
Thank you all for your advices. I do my research on every single camera so I can choose what would suit me the best. Thanks!.)
 
I am a d750 user and find it does everything I need it to do, but I'm also a bit of a fan of the fuji system. Have you considered the xt3 / 4 it's an APS-C sensor but is a good alternative for a slightly smaller camera. At the end of the day its down to what you find the best is for you, both size and feature-wise.
