The D810 for me. It's the first camera I made money with. I loved using it for portraits for work and landscapes for fun. I have a Z7 and a Z6II, but I recently repurchased the D810 because I missed it so much. Now, I mostly use it for travel and family time.

How would you compare the major differences of the Z6ii based on your real life usage versus the d810? I asked because I have to make my decision today whether to buy a z6 (original not the ii version), d750, or d810 for event photography as my fun 3rd camera body. Will use it only to use a 14-24mm f/2.8 in low light conditions.. Your thoughts?

Enjoyed the ending! I currently shoot with a D4S and a D800, and need a cheap 3rd body for times when i dont have time to switch lenses and need to shoot wide, so watching lots of comparison videos right now!

I am owning the D750. In comparison with D810, D750 has the same CPU and a 24m pixel sensor. Therefore, D750 is much faster than D810. Plus the articulated screen, the built in flash and lighter weight, D750 is better for me.

Fantastic ending of the video! I have a D610 and upgraded to a D810 a year ago. I'm in love with it, although i had to buy also a new computer to properly edit the raw files. This is something that for me is also to be in mind when change the sensor dimension.

Love this comparison! You have addressed my # 1 concern as an Event Photography shooter. So for me personally, the d750 is the best choice for my style of shooting. Although at this time, the d810 is cheaper for me to purchase it used, however, based on your review of real Life usage, you have made my decision so much easier and crystal clear. Thank you very much. I have liked and subbed! 💪📷💯

I've owned both cameras over the years, the D810 until very recently but it has now moved on to another owner. The D750 was my main camera for many a year until I moved to Mirrorless when the Z7 was launched, it served me very well, the D810 was bought for a nostalgia trip a year or so back and was used with the Nikkor F mount glass that I had retained, it was an awesome camera but in the long term it gave me no more than the Z7 did so ultimately I decided to move it on. For me the D750 was the better all round camera, a bit smaller and lighter yet still produced great images no matter what the subject was. The D810 whilst it had a bit more image sparkle it wasn't quite as adaptable as the D750 in some areas. I have a soft spot for Nikon's DSLR cameras, I have enjoyed using them and created many a great memory. Nice video.

Honestly it’s essentially the same because the d810 is just slightly more refined d800. But all the main points still stand.

Sir, when you export JPEG in lightroom, what are your setting you keep file settings 100% quality and Dpi resolution 300 ?

Great job!

Thanks for the great video! I'm working a bit backwards, after shooting MFT for over a decade I decided to get the Lumix S5II and sell most of my MFT gear to go L-Mount. I love the camera BUT, I shoot a lot of publicity for live theatre. Last week I was shooting a dress rehearsal and just constantly swapping between my 24-70 and my 70-200 (not fun in the dark). I decided I either need another S5II ($$$) or a superzoom. L-Mount is pretty much devoid of that lens right now and it got me to thinking. You know, you've never tried Nikon and you never had a full-frame DSLR, why not get something older? This video helped me go with the 810. The S5 has everything I need for portability so, go big, right? Starting with the 28-300 and will probably branch out from there and decide if the 810 will be wide or tele first paired with the S5II. Pretty sure a 135/2 has my name on it though even though I already have the Sigma 135/1.8 Art in L-Mount. Maybe I'll have a shoot-out. Thanks for the great videos Martin.

Am a Canon user, but am getting in love with Nikon lenses so much!

Having recently got an EM-1ii with a fully articulable screen, I'll never be without this feature on a camera.

Cut my teeth on Nikon D810. Over the pandemic Loved the image quality. But computer got clogged and I started to drown in external hard drives. With the size of RAW.But only being a hobbyist. It's a bit of a beast to pull out at kids parties. Once I find out the winner I may pulled it out the draw and take it out to the park😂 love your work Martin. Very refreshing down to earth real info

I just traded some older Nikon and Fuji gear for a like new D750. Put a fair chunk of change back into the bank account too! I chose this camera for the tilt screen as I am now a senior and not quite as agile as I use to be. That screen helps me get the lower shots without getting on my knees. And yeah the grip on the D750 is maybe the best feeling grip I have used.

I used (and probably still could use) the D750 for my commercial work- about 5 years. Excellent sensor in low light

@MartinCastein

Yeh it’s outstanding in low light too for sure

I chose the D810 over the D750 because I mainly shoot landscape and felt that would be the better choice, but I did sell the D810 in favor of the D850 and it's tilting screen. Although I never owned a D750, I do still own and use for portrait work a D780.

D850 maybe too much resolution for small sensor & D780 overpriced? On paper it's a great combo

I tried a d810 a few weeks back but the lack of touch screen and no screen movement was a deal breaker for me. It's annoying to have to focus stack images especially if you're in an awkward position or the light is changing fast.

The D810 whilst it feels solid in your hands it has a metal bayonette which is attached to a plastic mirror box. There are quite a lot on ebay being sold for parts due to the plastic interface to the bayonette breaking off. This can happen if the camera is dropped or handled roughly in a bag etc. with a long lens attached. The D800/800e have a metal mirror box and are therefore more robust. However more plastic = less weight. A point about size: perhaps people with smaller hands will like the D750/D600/D610 cameras more? Still way better ergonomics on all of these than the Sony a7 series.

If the D750 had a 5:4 aspect ratio, which it should have, I would be more interested in it. It’s bloody annoying that Nikon deliberately disable some of their FX cameras with this omission. That and the loss of a round eyepiece. If the camera is FX it should have both of these features as standard. The D780 is a big disappointment while the D850 is great but heavy. I might still get one though. 😊

How do you find Nikon vs Canon for portrait skins tones ?

I use a Nikon D810 for landscape mostly. I don't really complain much about the weight, nor the size of the camera itself. My biggest complaint about it would be the lack of a tilting screen for added versatility. I was thinking about buying an outside monitor to help me with that, even though that will up for even more gear (Tripod, camera, lens, remote cabled shutter, outside monitor and square lens kit). Anyways, thank you so much for your input, it was quite useful for me!

Agreed, tilt screen is useful for low standing shots when kneeling & cameras high above. Good too for avoiding reflections outdoors. D810 is magnificent, I'd like a 2nd body, instead of my D600, but will keep the D600 - using with lightweight, small afd lenses. Sigma art on D810 is very bulky, not always helpful.

Isn't an old-fashioned right-angle viewfinder which you attach to the eyepiece a cheap alternative to a flippable screen/grovelling in the mud? Plus it's much better in bright sunshine.

In daylight it okay but indoor the mangeta too much, worse if have many artificial light. I feel like this camera only good for outdoor and daylight potrait.

Hi Martin, very interesting video! I am looking to upgrade from a D5600 and am looking at a D800. Both the D810 and to a lesser extent the D750 are a bit beyond my budget currently. I do prefer the more professional body of the D8x0 series but the 810 is about twice as expensive as the 800 here. Do you think the D800 would be a good alternative or is it worth saving up the extra money? Thanks!

I just bought another one!

I've owned my D750 for about 4 years though I'm not a heavy user. I've had a few focus misses, and reading these reviews suggests it's user error and not the camera. Also the live view focus is horrible. I've been tempted to go to a D780, maybe when prices drop a bit more, but, yesterday I played with a ZF and I think it's a game changer. Still, I can't really justify going to Z yet so I suppose I'll have to learn to use the D750 properly.

I like the final verdict, as for the D 810 developed and tweaked for the astro photographers, great for all else mentioned. As for the lack of a tilt screen, just one less thing that can fail. The D750 is basically the bigger version of the D 7200 with a bit of more advanced technology being a later model. The D 750 excels at autofocus capability with the tilt screen as a "bonus". I would be happy with either, but the D 750 is going pair well with my D 7200. So with the D 7200 and the D 750 in hand, I can guarantee you that I would still want a D 810. There is a problematic issue. Getting these things repaired in future, if not currently, is going to be a problem. The advancements with production lines has stopped for these models and the production lines are all dedicated towards the new products. So I decided that I am not going to entertain these " advancements " by investing in it, or jumping ship to say Sony, no. If I need something I'll just go and rent/hire it. The gear I have is bought and paid for, so that remains. One cannot invest in the new systems at this point of time. Financially it just does not justify the investment in a continues evolving electronic device that still presents it's old electronic faults/ problems. Failing cards, hard drives, software and os systems.

I just can’t see myself spending so much time adjusting colors because they’re reproduced incorrectly by the camera and with a look that is not desirable.
