D750 replacement rumors

[Pa]

Nikon Rumors has specifications for the D750 replacement.

Here is the first set of rumored specifications for the Nikon D750 camera replacement:

• The Nikon D750 replacement will not be called D760 - it will have a higher model number (between D760 and D800, maybe 770 or 790)
• It will be a merge of the D700 series and the D800 series (not sure what that means - maybe in terms of functionality)
• 24MP BSI sensor
• 4k video support (no 4k 60fps), 1080p 120fps
• Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• No built-in flash
• Higher ISO (better than the D850)
• 2x UHS-II SD memory cards
• Between 51 and 153 AF points - one number that I was given is 105 AF points
• Touchscreen
• An updated interface like the Z -series
• Slightly smaller and lighter body than the current D750
• To be released in 2020 (it could be as early as January-February, but this is not confirmed)

PetaPixel says:

The D750 is a favorite among Nikon DSLR shooters, but in 2019 it’s really starting to show its age.


They don't say what they mean by "showing its age" but I think it's still as good as any full-frame camera on the market. I'm using a Z6 strictly for the convenience features, so maybe that is what they are referring to.

They mean they have written all thay can/want to about the ancient D750 and need new meat

They are fishing for new meat

Yes, and a lot of people fall for it hook, line and sinker. I, on the other hand, am under the influence of wine often enough that I can't even bite the hook, much less the line and sinker. Indeed, wine has many benefits not generally recognized.

It doesn't have focus shifting. I'm just trying to help Nick justify his D850.

I've yet to use focus shifting

I guess I'm treating it like wine---age it and it will improve!

Once a firmware update improves it, your theory will be proven.

Another of the "conveniences" for which I bought a Z6. I've tried it a couple of times, but haven't found as much use for it as I thought I might.

Utilizing the Cap'n Jack Sparrow life strategy, eh?

For me, the move to the D850 was followed by getting new lenses: a 16-35, f/4, and a 50, f/1.8. Using these for landscape work (most of what I shot) instead of my usual 150-500 range negated the need for focus stacking. I'm sure I'll use it someday, as the Z6 has opened up new styles of shooting for me. I have yet to use video mode or touch up on any camera, and rarely capture Jpgs.

I've heard that my cameras have those capabilities but I've never been interested in using them.

Maybe that indicates that, unlike any of the Z cameras, it will have a vertical grip.

 

[bpdougd]

My Z6 is, for me, essentially a feature and performance equivalent replacement for my old D750. It has some added benefits like IBIS and the WYSIWYG goodness of the EVF. My primary use for a camera these days is documenting the lives of my grandchildren. The Z6 fills this role. For my occasional forays into wildlife photography, I've kept my D500. A DSLR replacement for the D750 isn't of interest to me but may be tempting for many current D750 owners.

 

[Randy]

I need a less than 46mp DSLR for walking around so the D760 would interest me if I found an FX lens as good as my 16-80. I went from D850 + 24-120 to a D500 + 16-80

 

[warth man]

I agree with Randy. If they don't go pottypixels with it I could be interested in the D750 replacement. On the other hand, I really like what I have already. More acreage of the focus area would be good.

 

[Jonathan F/2]

Nikon could of fully eliminated the D750, by providing dual card slots and a vertical grip to the Z6. If it does combine the D750/D850 lines, this camera plus the D6 could be Nikon's DSLR swan song before going full Z!

I think it is amazing that the D750 is still on display as a mainstay for Nikon at camera stores (mostly Best Buys in my area). The camera made its debut in 2014. It seems like 6 years of camera improvements should have brought and end to it a few years back.

I find it amazing because it says to me how well designed the D750 is, and how many of the changes over the past 6 years have primarily been incremental (excepting Nikon's move to mirrorless).
