It was the weight/ergonomics that swayed me to the D750 tbh.I know and that makes the D810 such a great camera. I wish it was bit cheaper for my pocket and bit lighter
ThanksTwo very nice colourful shots, with some good composition and well handled exposure. Very nice to see.

I'm sure if they had gone -EV rather than just +EV it might have been different I'm sure I read that the D750 is great at pulling up shadows and D810 pulling back from highlights ? Or I'm missing the point / not reading it correct
That looks just like Woody, the drummer from Madness.
Very nice Paul, and a great idea. My only small nick pick would be the eyes only need one catch light in each eye.

Any folk got examples of shots with the d750 and a sigma 50 f1.4 art. Mines in the process of being delivered....the agonising wait!
Ordered my 610 last Thursday from Panamoz and was delivered 10am Monday, can't be long mate.

It's not. Tomorrow as it ended up ordered on sat/sun.
Well i got my bargain basement UWA... I wasn't expecting too much tbh but it's actually ok. It's noisy, plastic, old and the exif gets screwed up at 19mm. It also only stops down to f4.5 when it should go to f3.5 but tbh it will be used at f11 anyway so that's not a real problem. (for me!)
Colours are very nice indeed when shooting in the field and sharpness seems ok too. Not much difference between 19mm and 24mm in reality, but it's a shed load lighter.
Few samples... Nothing too compelling but i needed to play!

#3 is bracketed, the others are single shots mate.
And you blend them in LR - is that easier than PS?
And you blend them in LR - is that easier than PS?
Yes, as JJ says Lr's merge function is absolutely excellent. Just select the files you want, right click, photo merge, HDR and give it 30 seconds and it does everything for you. I let it auto tone them too and then tinker with it to how i want it afterwards with brushes etc. PS is so complicated compared to Lr imo but then i have never really done much in PS before anyway so maybe it's just me not being used to it.
My company bought a D750 and 24-120mm lens, and I was having a play with it today. I considered the D750 and the D7200 before opting for the D5500 as my body choice. I weighed up a lot of factors including price, features, usability and weight. On usability, I assumed the D750 would be comfortably ahead of the D5500 due to the larger size and additional manual controls. I also assumed, that being used to Nikon, picking up and using the D750 would be easy. That was not the case. I found it more difficult to get to the options I want and change them on the D750 than the D5500. As an example, I couldn't figure out how to change the AF settings (single focus point, 51 area, etc), and after googling that, I then failed to work out how to move an AF point without resorting to google again.
Secondly, I knew the weight was significantly different, but I didn't realise how it would feel in practice. My hands were getting tired with the D750 after just 10-15 minutes of using it, unlike my D5500 + 18-140mm that I can use for much longer periods with greater comfort.
I am posting because I wonder if this is all just lack of familiarity, or if others have had a similar experience? I have no doubt the D750 is a much more capable camera than my D5500, but in actually taking the shot I want, I found the latter easier.
Got to ask......did you "RTFM" to borrow a frequently used expression.
Think I prefer the first image.Excuse the horrible OOF subject but wow wow and wow in terms of shadow recovery!!

This is why it's soooooooo important to try cameras for yourself. The D750 is a better camera of that there's no doubt, but if you don't get on with it then it just becomes a very expensive paperweight. Coming from Sony I couldn't figure out how to change the AF mode either and had to ask. I now find it a doddle though. Apart from that I found the D750 pretty intuitive tbh. Layout is pretty straight forward and menus are simple to follow and understand. I don't understand why you struggles to move the AF point around though, it's no different to any other camera I've used in that you just press the control pad in which direction you wantMy company bought a D750 and 24-120mm lens, and I was having a play with it today.

Secondly, I knew the weight was significantly different, but I didn't realise how it would feel in practice. Having checked the specs, it looks like my D5500 combo is ~910g and the D750 is 1,465g, so about 60% heavier My hands were getting tired with the D750 after just 10-15 minutes of using it, unlike my D5500 + 18-140mm that I can use for much longer periods with greater comfort.

My only gripe with the D750 layout is the playback button. I prefer it on the right so that I don't have to change my grip when viewing images (my left hand cups the lens so I have to move this hand to press the playback button).

That ladies and gentlemen is the look of a smug D750 and Siggy 50mm art owner.
