Max 1/4000 !!
Didn't see that, bloody ridiculous it's not 8000th on a camera upgrade like this.
Max 1/4000 !!
Looks like a stellar body for wedding photographers.
Small, quiet, fast, discreet, great battery life, great AF, dual cards, under £2k.
Nikon Rumours called this an action camera, not Nikon.
...and probably down to £1599 retail by January
IN that smaller body, with my smaller hands, you would think I would jumping at it wouldn't you? Except, I still have a D300 and a D70s and both feel very odd and unbalanced in my hands now compared to the 700's and the 300 is only marginally smaller. Wi-fi might be useful, defo dual card slots, not bothered about video or a moving screen but realise whatever I upgrade to eventually is likely to have them. As others have said though, I don't see this as a genuine 700 upgrade, its a D600 upgrade with a new name on paper. Not planning on upgrading this side of christmas anyway, so no doubt will get a chance to have a play with one before making a final decision, but can't help but feel disappointed. Call me a gear snob [and the fact I am still using D700's says am probably not generally], but can't help feel that that left hand ode dial looks like consumer body.

I'm coming at it the other way. I love this camera. I like that its smaller then the 'pro' bodies are. And I think a lot of the size thing is what you are used to. Having shot a couple of all fuji weddings this year I don't think of small cameras as an issue. But I do like not carrying so much weight around. If I was planning to upgrade this year (or next) I would be having two, the AF was the one issue that put me off the d600/d610. I don't really mind what they call it either. As long as its not 'Jake'. Althpough I think the name thing has lead to much of the (perceived) disappointment
Personally I just don't like these smaller sized DSLR's ….. cannot really see the point as they will never be pocket sized
If you'd cut your teeth using a small SLR from the 70s/80s you might appreciate a smaller form factor better. So long as a camera has all the functions required, smaller is better IMO.
I didn't have an input with the rumors but...
This is rediculous, as always, from Nikon.
This is not a new line - it is a D620. It has the af that the D610 should have had ANYWAY, the wifi that it should have ANYWAY, the screen it should have ANYWAY, the 1080/60 it should have ANYWAY, the magnesium shell it should have had ANYWAY and the upgrade it has (which let's be honest - this is what it is) includes extended ISO.
Just another confirmation to me that Nikon and innovation are two words that just don't mix. All they ever do is take bits of this, take bits of that and put them together.
Oh, and as always, priced accordingly
Hmm. Let's compare an apple with a pumpkin while we're at it...They didn't have near as many options back then. But they also had monster cameras too ... that's like saying if you cut your teeth on large format in the 30's you'd know bigger is better

I can't even be bothered to talk about this disappointment... going to read up about the new sigma announcements now.
With the Mode dial and Scene modes it's a high-end enthusiasts camera. .
I don't get that, why does a mode dial make it an enthusiasts camera? The 5dIII has one and no-one seems to think thats an issue?

WHAT?!?! You HEATHEN!! Canon?!? That's why we are all Nikon users
Seriously though, no, the mode dial isn't really that much of an issue, it is a certain amount of snobbery, combined with wanting some familiarity, but you can see why there is an association.
I quite liked the U1 and U2 on the mode dial of the D610, but any obvious physical feature that features on entry level cameras but not pro bodies is bound to associated in this way. I've always wondered the same about the 5d's.
From Nikon's website, won't be eligible for Nps then I wouldn't think.
"Forming a new line of Nikon FX-format models, the D750 responds to the desire of active photo hobbyists to be ever more creative and feeds their great desire to prove themselves."

Seems a bit daft using that phrase to me, interesting to see the new materials being used in the construction.
Ditto along with the the mode dial. Looks like a D810 for me when it drops in priceI was eagerly awaiting this one. The lack of a dedicated AF-On button for me is a killer. Small is fine if it feels nice in the hand.
In all seriousness how many serious enthusiasts will spend this much on a camera? Many people buying this will be doing some form of paid work so needs to be nps?
I'll be the first to say it, it makes the Df look ludicrously overpriced.

Because it isn't a D4s without the vertical grip for under £2k.
There is a worldwide population of people who have never got over the fact that Nikon realised that having the D700 so close in spec to the D3 was a marketing mistake,hurt D3 sales and won't repeat it.
So what happens when all these D700 owners want to upgrade... there is still a good trade in used d700 cameras. Am sure there are others in the same boat who (while I am looking at canon don't think I will move) will probably just make do with another d700 or maybe a d3, possibly a used d800, as imo there is no point in shelling out close to £2k for something that doesn't suit.

I thought it was a 1.5 for some reason...The D7100 has a x 1.3 crop mode that can be used on the 24mp DX sensor
Because of the Scene Mode. You turn it on and select Landscape' 'portrait' 'fireworks' etc etc and press the shutter and get a result without thinking. You don't need any of that - that's beginner level and is a feature on all the basic models and intermediate models.
Yes you can also opt for A, S, P or M but that all it needs IM0.
That said apart from the 1/4000 shutter speed it's got quite good specs in my opinion. I think it's pointless comparing to a D610. It is what it is a D750. This is going to be a great camera for weddings, gigs and the highlight spot metering will be very beneficial.
It is what it is a D750 pointless in people saying it's the camera the D610 should have been - the camera to temp enthusiasts over to the FF side.
I think there are a lot of positives about the camera, much more than there negatives.
