Here is a long list on everything you need to know about the new Nikon D750 camera. Feel free to add to the comments section if I have missed something. If you have any other questions, you can post them in the [NR] forum.
Nikon D610 vs. Nikon D750
Nikon D810 vs. Nikon D750
The Nikon D750 is only 10g lighter than the D610. The Nikon Df remains the lightest full frame Nikon DSLR – it’s 40g lighter than the D750 (camera size comparison via camerasize.com)
Nikon D750 is labeled as “Enthusiast” camera on Nikon USA website (together with the D610 and Df).
Nikon D750 sensor
Nikon claims that the Nikon D750 has a newly modified sensor – from the press release: “The Nikon D750 features a newly developed 24.3-MP FX-format CMOS sensor“. They made the pitch of each individual pixel larger (source). The D750 sensor does have an AA filter.
The Nikon D750 is the first full frame DSLR with a tiltable screen and built-in Wi-Fi.
carbon fiber in the front
alloy frame on the back and top
The Nikon D750 has an alloy frame on the back and top and carbon fiber in the front (remember that rumor back from 2010?), from the press release: “adopts durable carbon fiber for the front body and front cover, and resilient magnesium alloy for the rear cover and top cover“.
Nikon D750 AF system
The D750 has the same AF and Power Aperture feature (for smooth transitions during recording) found in the $1,000 more expensive D810. There is a discussion on dpreview about the spread of AF points in the D750’s viewfinder being smaller than the spread in the D810’s viewfinder – I don’t think that’s the case, but I could be wrong.

The D750 could have the best high ISO performance in the entire Nikon DSLR lineup, here is a quote from nikon.com: “the D750 even surpasses the D810 in image quality at high sensitivities, and the large pixel pitch delivers advantages in definition, depth, tonal gradation and clear color“.
High ISO comparison between the D610, D750 and D810
