Nikon D750 camera review and comparison with the D810

By [NR] admin | Published: November 2, 2014

Nikon-D750-Review-Roberto-Panciatici-Photography
Roberto Panciatici (website) reviews the Nikon D750 DSLR camera (click on images for larger view):

Since I’m a full time professional photographer, the question I’ll try to answer in this review is: can the Nikon D750 be used for professional wedding photography? It’s not an easy question to answer, because there are numerous factors to consider, and the first factor is obviously the photographer’s particular style of shooting. I’ll try to respond based on my own actual experiences and real needs in the course of a day’s work, comparing the Nikon D750 with the camera I currently use (check out my ShotKit to see what’s in my backpack), and thus not limiting myself to evaluating solely technical aspects.
