[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 751941, member: 46690"] Hi ramnyc, and welcome (from nj)! Funny, I just started researching a few Nikon models as I look to upgrade, including the D750. Just read a bunch of stuff on them yesterday. You didn't mention if you're shooting in RAW or JPEG. If you are shooting RAW, the D750 buffer in continuous shooting mode fills up at approx 12 images (see [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53V2_AJXFEk"]this video at the 12:40 mark[/URL]). At that point the camera will not be able to take more shots for several seconds, which sounds like what you're experiencing. One picture every 5 seconds is enough of a gap that you don't have to worry about this, but faster than that and you will. If you are shooting JPEG, this is not really an issue as less info is being sent to the card. That's even the case with my entry level D5500. I can hold the button down in continuous mode until my finger cramps if I'm in JPEG, and the buffer never fills. But in RAW, she stops shooting after only 4 or 5. So it's my guess that if you were previously able to shoot a high number of frames per second for a long period of time, you were shooting in JPEG. But somehow you changed the setting to RAW, and so now you can only do that for about 12 shots before the camera has to pause. My initial thought is the camera is fine - a shutter count of 37k is nothing for that beast regardless how old it is. But is is only a guess as I say. Hopefully someone who actually owns a D750 here will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. I hope you get this sorted out, and I look forwards to seeing some of your pictures! [/QUOTE]
