Nikon D750 Shooter’s Report Part II: Performance deep-dive on AF, high ISO, HDR, exposure and more

posted Thursday, November 13, 2014 at 1:48 PM EDT

Photographer Jeremy Gray is back with this second and final Shooter's Report installment on the full-frame Nikon D750 DSLR. After going into detail with the handling and physical aspects of this new camera, as well as some general shooting experience notes in part I, the second part takes a more in-depth look at the critical shooting performance of the D750.

Discussing the autofocus performance, high ISO chops, auto exposure as well as burst shooting and HDR modes, Jeremy found the new 24.3-megapixel, FX-format DSLR to be an all-around impressive camera. Taking on a variety of subjects, including daytime landscapes, long exposures, nighttime starscapes and wildlife, the D750 was found to perform very well in all these scenarios. While it may not have the super-high 36-megapixel resolution of the D810 or the burst shooting performance of the D4S, the D750 provides a nice balance of critical performance features in relatively compact DSLR body and at a reasonalble price point, at least as full-frame DSLRs go.

400mm f/2.8 with TC 1.4III at 550mm f/4, ISO 800 and 1/320s, -0.7EV.
