So you went for the D610, Iain? I would be interested to get your perspective on how the D7200 compares to the D610.. regarding the buffer speed and general responsiveness.

Coming from the D3 to the D750 I do feel that the D3 was faster, slicker and did everything quicker. Of course it only has 12mp which meant smaller files to handle. It's this comparative 'sluggishness' that disappoints on the D750. Of course it may just be the difference between Dbodies and Dxx bodies.


Eric, can you comment further on this sluggishness of the D750.
I'm likely to get a D750 or D810 in the new year but I feel that the D810 is too many MP especially as I have a D800. The D750 has some nice improvements over my D600.


It's difficult to quantify...and maybe down to the card I was using. I was shooting a kitchen with tricky lighting ( darkworktops, light woodwork with lots of LED spots). It's often a recipe for burntout highlight and distracting reflections so I bracket heavily and rob elements from each. EricHDR. Lol

Anyway, the focus acquisition was slightly slower than the D3. (Same lens) Not major or any consequence when shooting statics. It did make me wonder how it would perform in low light action situations.

The main issue was the speed writing files. I repeat it may have been a slow card ( must check that tomorrow) but if I shot a burst of 5, then another burst of 5, moved the tripod slightly and shot another set of five...the last couple of shots ie 14/15 wouldn't fire for a couple of seconds. The file writing light seemed to be permanently on and it stayed lit for some time after I stopped shooting.

I just got the feeling when challenging it, the D750 went at its own pace. Somehow the D3 always seemed to keep pace with my needs.

Must look at that card...I just remembered Iused the best ones in the Fuji ...and the wife nicked some for video use. She may have left me with dross. Lol

I would put the D750 on par with the Fuji XT for performance.
