[QUOTE="RRR, post: 370953, member: 33613"] It seems so strange that Nikon made such a point of emphasising that the D750 does not have the D610's sensor, it has a new improved sensor with significantly better low light performance. Yet the DXO tests show it to be virtually identical to the D610 sensor - in fact, I feel it proves it IS the D610's sensor (the tiny differences being just lab measurement differences). I guess what is really going on is the D750 has better image processing. The EXPEED 4 chip improves low light shots more than the D610's EXPEED 3 does. That is handy, sure. (DXO doesn't measure software processing ability of course, so the D750 might produce low light shots that are perceptually better than the D610 but the DXO results won't show that.) I'm sure the D750 is a fine camera, but to me it is a bit disappointing that the actual sensor hardware is no better than the D610's. If it had scored 97 or similar I would have bought it, but now I'm going to pass. Really the camera should have been called the D650. [/QUOTE]
