Happy with my D750. I'll probably upgrade when (and if!) the Nikon mirrorless line offers significant focusing improvements over it, but not before.

A better liveview experience might tempt me to switch from a D750 if the replacement had it alongside the current feature set. But I doubt the price would.Happy with my D750.

Depends on what you want to do I suppose. Moving the focus point around is painful - a touch screen would be nice. Focusing can be a bit slow too. Face detect works well enough. For static subjects it's fine, for moving subjects I find it hit and miss.Is the D750 live view experience not that good then?
That's what I use it for mostly, but I have recently been using the flip out screen to save me from bending my knees or kneeling down!OK, thanks. I'd only use live view for low angle work where I'd otherwise have to guess what the camera saw - when I do this now I pre-focus, then disable AF (and use manual exposure sometimes too).
for me, the Fuji X system is closest to it but even they aren't perfect.
Happy with my D750, I tend to upgrade-lenses now as better ones appear on the second hand market
and the Sony A7rII was released in Jun 2015, which says something about design maturation and longevity.
You get the photographers falling for the marketing hype thrown at them by the camera makers for the latest 'black box with a hole in it', with 58MP
I find the 'space race' within the photography market quite amusing. You get the photographers falling for the marketing hype thrown at them by the camera makers for the latest 'black box with a hole in it', with 58MP full frame sensor that is 35% better than the the previous full frame sensor....... but the 'market' these photographers are aiming at only want a maximum of 800 pixels wide pictures.
Let's look at that again. You buy a camera that produces a picture, which you then have to crop down to about 1/1000th of its original size so that it can be viewed on the current, 'in fashion' viewing device. You pay for the extra performance, you pay for the extra computing power needed to cope with the bigger picture, you pay for the extra storage required to archive your 58MP pictures.... but people only look at 800 pixel version. It's hilarious!
Even at work, the amount of 'image information' provided to the publisher that gets thrown away is enormous - send in a 10MB file and it gets downgraded to about 2MB for actual use.... so what was the point of the 10MB file in the first place? Christ alive, even pictures off telephones can make a full page if done right. The camera technology thing is just a way of generating income.
Blasphemy!!
The secret to a happy life is to learn to like what you have, rather than wanting what you haven't got.
Yep, there's more to photography than "gear".I feel very fortunate having an abundance of opportunities to make great images and to keep developing skills. Gear is not the issue, I’m happy with that.
