I really like my D750. If buying used watch out for 'not US' model and shutter replacement fix eligibility.
There's a hundred thousand more D750 recommendations on the google.

Here's a link about the problems.
Was there a shutter issue with this model? I'd rather not repeat the D600 fiasco!
Great question. If I were starting over, I'd go mirrorless 100%.I'm thinking of getting an fx body again and was wondering if there's any issues with this model. I'd prefer mirrorless, but the new Nikons don't impress. I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks

I think a 750 is a fine camera and would serve you well but might I ask why you do not like the Nikon Mirrorless. Have you some experience with them?
The reason I ask is that I have a Z6 and I am amazed at it's effectiveness. Focus accuracy so much better then my D700 or D7200. Low light performance is amazing. I do not get out as much as I would like do to some limited mobility, but I do take photos at Church and around my community and I have not picked up my other two Nikons accept to take photos of new purchases for my Z.
I know a number of influencers have really trashed the Z line, and frankly they should be ashamed of themselves. They did not even do a half-hearted review of the initial release and have done no follow-up since the firmware updates which dramatically improved the performance.
If you haven't played with one you may want to rent one before you make the decision or at least give a listen to this gentleman. He is a pro wedding photographer that sold his 850s and went to the Z6. This is his 1 year review. His videos are kind of raw, but he is a pro-photographer, not a YouTube personality so sometimes he rambles a bit, but I like his style. He lists what he likes and dislike in this video and he is honest. He and his wife used the Z6s in 40 weddings and took over 300,000 photos.

So after watching the videos and reading reviews of every S lens I think I may have to eat my words. I did notice how many top talking heads shunned the Z6, but most of the lens reviews where fantastic (except for the UW, too bad). The rest where stellar and if the 20mm comes out that would help resolve that issue.
I came across the D750 24-120 Package for only $1699 and decided to head down to best buy to check it out, convinced that was the one. I hadn't handled a full frame mirrored camera in years and while the customization was great, the size/weight with the 24-120 attached was a turnoff. I think I've been mirrorless for about 5 years now and definitely biased towards smaller outfits.
I was pleased to see a Z6 with the 24-70 set up 2 cameras over. After playing about a bit, I have to say I was impressed with it with the exception of the grip and dial placement. It's just not a natural comfortable fit compared to the larger DSLR's or even the smaller Oly EM 1 II I'm used to.
I was pleased to see both cameras where operational and would hold an image long enough to crop in the screen (i didn't even think to bring a memory card since I didn't expect to see them operational). I set both cameras to the same settings and shot the same subject at various focal lengths. From my non-scientific tests the s lens on the Z was superior in every shot (may be the VR verses in-camera, but at f4 in a bright store there should not have been any need for a tripod). I was really impressed how they squeezed an Fx sensor into a body only slightly larger than a M4/3rds! I became an instant fanboy, and that's gonna cost a lot more!
Now that I've done a 180 I have to see where my system goes. I don't want chunky adapted lenses for wildlife so looks like I stick to the original plan for that purpose.
Now I just gotta find an extra 3k laying around....,
