Wondering what ?
How good the shots would have been with the glass you could have bought instead?
Just out of idol curiosity how can you be certain that the OP doesn't already have the requisite lenses, or is this pure conjecture ?
Just check Mervs profile. He has some decent glass. Knowing Merv as I do, I am sure he will update his glass as and when required..Just out of idol curiosity how can you be certain that the OP doesn't already have the requisite lenses, or is this pure conjecture ?

Merv, Just get the 810. It will save you going around in circles. You know what I mean...
I don't doubt it !
It's not me you need to convince it's the OP on post #7
My post was a follow up in response to his comments if you re-read it.
I have both cameras (and some decent glass!) and they are both excellent. The D810 is my preference out of the two, it has a faster buffer speed and camera speed. The image quality when printing 'gallery big' is sublime.
Sorry, didn't mean to infer that you did.
D810 v D750 is somethig that I am condsidering also, for complex reason I have fallen out of love with my D700. After much reading on here and else where I am still stuck, and have swung from one to the other over the months. Shooting mainly landscape / holidays (but nothing serious) some sports days, livestock and would like to try some marco more. If I was to go D750 then think I would be going 'grey market' but at the minute the discount on D810 brings it in range of the Digitalrev advertised price.
I understand that the grip on the D750 is different to that on the D810. Can anyone say what that difference feels like, that may have either used both or has both?
I too am stuck between these two cameras, the d750 is a great body, but the current difference in price is "only" around £425 (panomoz) and for the money the d810 has a far more durable shutter, (200k actuation as opposed to 150k of the d750) which im surprised that no one has mentioned, it should help to ensure higher residual values, and a longer life. This point alone is surely worthy of a price premium.
I fully understand that 36mp is far more than most users will need, but surely the extra cropping factor will give the shooter far more flexibility in post. This could allow for the use of wider angle or zoom lenses in place of expensive long lenses (why buy a 400mm lens when you could just use your 200mm and crop in in post!) this is going to be helpful to sports and wildlife fans. And again makes the price difference look minimull, imho, Also the exta mp's will help to future proof your expensive new purchase. (The mp race is only going to go one way)
If you add to the above thoughts the fact that wedding and event togs will benefit from the ultra quiet shutter sound, and every user will surely welcome the more robust body construction, not to mention the 1/8000 top shutter speed, removal of the AA filter, better buffer capacity, better quality in XD crop mode, and faster flash sync, and all of a sudden the d810 looks like great value for money !!!
In all seriousness I fully understand that the price difference between these two models is a major factor to most buyers (myself included) and the d750 is still a fantastic camera for any purpose, but I've decided that the d810 is worth saving a little longer for.
But if any one can convince me otherwise, I'm all ears !!!
Yes, it seems I have made up my mind. to be honest, none of the differences are a major game changer, it's more the fact that there are too many very minor advantages to ignore, even though if I'm being honest I'll proberbly never need most of those advantages (Hence the uncertanty).
If I do go for the 810 it will be a body that I intend to keep for a number of years, as I'm sure it will be more than a match for my humble abilities. But before I do press the buy it now button I will have a read through the D750 thread as you suggested, just to make sure I havnt missed something helpful.
