The D750 is Nikon's first FX camera with a tilting display, and this new tilting 3.2" LCD display is very useful out in the field. The menu system and navigation is fine and you can register your most frequented options to the My Menu which is discussed further below. With my primary camera being a Nikon, the menu system and settings options were immediately familiar. The D750's user interface is familiar to anyone who has used a Nikon DSLR in the past. That said, the D750 is compatible with Nikon's more basic MC-DC2 remote release cord as well as the ML-3, WR-R10, and WR-1 wireless remote controllers, and has a built-in intervalometer, allowing much of the MC-36's functionality to be replaced in alternative ways.
I use the MC-36 for most of my night photography, so it is disappointing to me that the D750 does not have a 10-pin remote terminal. This is especially helpful when shooting in low light when Live View cannot be used and I need to look through the viewfinder frequently.Īnother issue I noted when doing long exposure photography is that the D750 is not compatible with the Nikon MC-36 remote cord. I prefer a built-in switch to close the viewfinder. This solution isn't ideal for me out in the field, as there's an additional piece I have to remember to carry with me. To cover the viewfinder, you have to take the rubber eye-cup off and slide in the included eyepiece cap. The viewfinder displays information in a bright white format and has an orange flash icon along the bottom edge, which is easy to read and I prefer this to the green I'm used to seeing.
The viewfinder is big and bright with an impressive 100% coverage spec.
On the plus side, I found both auto ISO and auto WB to be consistently good with the D750, so I didn't need to make frequent adjustments while shooting. Although I would prefer to make all WB adjustments using the top display, it's not big enough to show the same amount of information you find on the D800-series or D4-series. ISO adjustments can also be viewed on the camera's top display and through the viewfinder, but WB changes are selected primarily using the rear display. The Nikon D750 (top) has a texturized yet plastic plate surrounding the tripod mount, whereas the D810 (bottom), for example, has a grippy, rubbery-textured tripod mounting area.īoth ISO and white balance adjustments are made using buttons on the back of the camera and the camera's 3.2" display.
