Really need a second body to compliment my D500. First for reliability so that should one of my bodies stop working / get broken accidentally I have something else to use but also for all of the benefits of going Full Frame.
My conclusion is that the D810 and D850 will probably produce files too large for my requirements - requiring more time to cull and more expense to store - compared to the D750 which produces smaller files which will cost less in time and storage. Also the D750 is said to have 'sporty' AF capabilities which I understand the D810 isn't so great at in low light situations. Low light performance is said to give less noise at higher ISOs also. I foresee using the camera in Nightclub / party environments quite often. There's also the extra added purchase cost of the D810 and D850 vs the D750 which is swaying me towards the D750.
Is the D750 still a worthy professional FX camera in 2019?
I'd like to purchase better glass, some nice primes, and a FX zoom to replace by DX zoom - so the D750 being cheaper will mean I can get new lenses sooner.
I understand that the D750 had a manufacturing issue - and I'm wondering the best way to avoid purchasing a second hand D750 which will later fail as a result of the issue not being rectified. Also would purchasing a new D750 have the issue? How can you tell if the manufacture of the camera was before or after the issue? I was considering doing a trade in through mbp, but realise that they probably have less of a understanding of the status of the issue in each individual used camera they sell.
Any advice much appreciated.
Also, recommendations on zoom lenses much appreciated. Should I consider Tamron G2, and Sigma ART lenses compared to the original Nikon 24-70 f2.8?
