I'd go with the D750, I don't have one but use a D700 an awful lot, I have Dx and Fx lenses and both work well, even after turning off the "Auto DX" mode, little or no vignetting, what little there is is easy to fix. I have 3 FF bodies now and they are far superior to any DX bodies I have used, the FF sensor with larger sensors just seems to capture light and detail so much better than the crop. The only downside is that your telephoto will be slightly shorter, due to the crop effect, but your wide lenses will be wider for the same reason. Personally I would go FF every time. Good luck and welcome :)

You can use the DX lenses on your full frame by putting it in DX mode. Or am I mistaken? I know you loose MP but you could do that until you get more lenses. The D750 is such a awesome camera. I would go that route I think. Or sell your lenses and buy one all around lens for now and save and add to it as you can. This also depends what kind of shooting you do.
I use DX's on D700, D800 and D3 without switching and see little issue with it, maybe a little vignetting on occasion but nothing that can't be fixed in lightroom.

I tried that when I got my D750. I got better results with my D7100 than using DX lenses on a FX camera. Don't do it.

Yes you lose a lot of MP and I have heard it isn't the best. I just got a D600, thanks Scott, and I don't have any wide angle lenses that are FX. This is my only option until I can get a wideangle.

So you don't use the auto DX on the camera? Surprised there is enough coverage. I will have to try this.
