Nikon Announcement – The D750 Is Coming And It Looks Promising

Nikon announced today the release of it’s latest edition the D750, a FX format DSLR that is aimed at the serious enthusiast and advanced amateur crowd. Taking a look at some of it’s features, and $2300 price point, the D750 could be the camera a lot of photographers have been waiting for. It takes the impressive video capture capabilities of its slightly more sophisticated colleague, the D810, and combines it with a compact size and tilting LCD screen that’s appreciated by hobbyists.

The D750 is currently available for pre-sale with or without a 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR. Read on for full specs, photos, and video of the new DSLR in action…

Key Features

• 24.3 megapixel CMOS image sensor (FX/full frame)
• Nikons latest EXPEED 4 image processor
• Built-in Wi-Fi
• Speeds up to 6.5 fps at highest resolution
• Full HD 60/50/30/25/24p video
• Pro Video feature set including: Simultaneously record uncompressed and compressed, Manually control ISO, shutter speed, and aperture while recording
• First FX DSLR to feature tilting Vari-angle LCD display

In the official press release from Nikon, the D750 hopes to attract “active photo hobbyist” by packing in a few extra features not found on comparative models, such as the D610.

“The D750 offers superior image quality with an effective pixel count of 24.3-million pixels, a new Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor, and the EXPEED 4 image-processing engine. Adoption of a monocoque structure utilizing a carbon fiber composite material (new material*), magnesium alloy and a completely new layout for the internal structure have achieved a smaller, lighter, and slimmer camera that still offers a firm and steady grip.
In addition, the D750 offers superior high-sensitivity performance and AF that supports shooting in low-light conditions, enabling hand-held shooting of even scenes offering little in the way of lighting. It is equipped with advanced functions nearly equal to those of professional models, and is the first FX-format model to be equipped with a tilting LCD monitor and built-in Wi-Fi® function that add to user convenience.

The D750, which combines superior agility with excellent added value in a compact, slim and lightweight body, eliminates various limitations users face with shooting, enabling greater freedom of expression, and the ability to express their intent, with their photographic imaging. 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.”
