[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 429699, member: 12496"] You mean the shutter sync speed? Until the 1980s (which is not that ancient to me :) ), focal plane shutter flash sync was 1/60 second, so fast shutters with 1/250 second sync have come a long ways compared to cars with steam engines. :) It must be a price thing, fast has to also be rugged enough to stand up to it. The D800 and D4 families have the faster shutter (but the D700 had it too). The D1 even had 1/500 second sync, but then they stopped doing that (at least with focal planes). Nikon marketing is hard to figure, but the D750 still has to be one heck of a camera. User-wise, the D600 and D750 are more of a FX D7100, with all the Auto and Scene modes. [/QUOTE]
