I bought a used Nikon d750, and just noticed when I first turn on the camera, and go to take a photo the shutter closes for a long time and then finally released. It's set in p and not a long shutter speed. Are these cameras known for this? Then after that first click it works fine.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.
Your camera may need to have the shutter replaced under the D750 recall. See https://www.nikonusa.com/en/service...ice-advisory-for-users-of-the-nikon-d750.html

@Dmount, welcome to the forum. There have been a few threads on this behavior. Just do a little searching in this D750 subforum and you will find some insight on this problem. @hark has written about her adventures with this problem a couple of times. In fact I think the next thread down from this one is discussing it.
Dmount, when the shutter is closed for a long time, look at the top screen and see if it is showing ERR. That's the problem I experienced. And I believe my problem is software related. Also keep watch inside the viewfinder. As you begin to press the shutter button, does the shutter speed start flashing 1/4000"? If both of those occur, try making sure the top screen goes into standby before turning off the body.
My issue isn't with the physical shutter. The shutter speed would flash 1/4000" because 1/4000" is the max speed that the body can shoot with. Even though my shutter speed should have been under 1/2000", something would go haywire with whatever it was reading. I'd start to press the shutter button and would see the number flashing. When I saw that happen, I simply didn't press the shutter button all the way. Then I'd try again. Usually it was fine after that. And mine almost always happened on the first shutter actuation of the day.
Since I now make sure the top screen is in standby before turning off the body, it's only happened one time.
I encountered this problem very early on with my D750 and it has been a long saga with Nikon getting it sorted out. It first manifested itself as the camera locking up on higher shutter speeds (as pointed out above, reading out as 1/4000 even when it wasn't really). That was what I sent it to Nikon for initially. They replaced the shutter and the problem still existed. Awhile later i started to get odd exposure irregularities of all sorts. including differences of opinion between the image and the data. Back it went and yet another new shutter - no change and the exposure issues got worse.
On the fourth trip back to Nikon (still under warranty, even though it had been 2 1/2 years) they finally replaced the shutter (yet again), the aperture arm and (as I suggested all along) the CPU. Presto! All problems solved and the camera is in every way better than when I first got it. 1,000 + exposures in and every one has been pretty dead-on. I even note that high ISO performance (which I use a great deal) has improved visibly. Not sue why that might be, but I'll take it!
My suspicion? A bad batch of circuit boards.
