If you don't understand any of these differences, go and research the hell of out them until you do, and don't go on to #3 until then because you're not ready for either of these cameras.3. Know what the heck it is you want to do with the camera, soup to nuts.  Styles, lighting conditions, fps needs, peripherals.  Then make a detailed list of what you want/need to get from it and the hassles you don't want.  Then go back and reread #1 against your list.  4. Get it in your head that sensors and bodies change every year but good glass outlasts them all. 5. Look at your computer hardware solution.  Think about 36-50MB RAW and 90-140MB PSD/Tiff files (D810) vs. 20-35MB RAW and 80-105MB PSD/Tiff files (D750) and decide if one of them is going to cost you unplanned for money in upgrades.6. Don't spend four grand without having at least gone to a show or shop  where you can handle each of them and preferably shoot photos with your  lens of choice.7. Take no specific recommendation from anyone who doesn't have at least one of the bodies.8. Make no determination based solely on the recommendation of anyone who hasn't shot with both cameras.9. Make your decision and live with it.  All that said, if you want to break my rules then just listen to me and go out and get the D750 packaged with the 24-120mm f/4 (assuming you have no lenses now), put the $700 extra in your pocket and put it towards whatever lens moves you forward in the list from #3 above, and a 3rd party grip once they come out to take care of any perceived size issue.  The D800 I own is a great camera, and more than what's required (i.e. too much camera) for 95% of what I shoot.  24MP's is about dead on perfect for any style.  Truly, if you have to wonder whether or not you need a D8xx then you almost definitely don't.  Not that you won't love it.  But if you're not there yet then I suspect the D750 will be the better landing point and get you far enough down the road that when it is no longer "enough camera" for you you'll be able to know exactly what is.(And if you want to be swayed by the sharpness gained with no OLPF I would proffer that a D7100 and grip along with a couple great lenses will make you happy as heck, and save you some money - particularly if you have no need to shoot high fps rates and worry about buffers clogging.)And for those of you who won't read the link, Nasim's summary pretty much says it all...So which one to choose? I would say that depends on your priorities and  budget. For a landscape or architecture shooter, the answer is pretty  clear – the D810 is the way to go. For everyone else, the D750 is going  to be an excellent choice. The reality is, most people don’t need 36  megapixels, so instead of spending $1K towards a better camera, why not  spend it on better glass? </blockquote>
