Hi,
I own a D700 and I'm very happy with it, both in terms of IQ and ergonomics. It is becoming a bit outdated however and I have been looking at the D750 as a successor. I think in terms of IQ and high ISO/low light it outperforms the D700, plus it can record HD video. If i look at the specs, in alsmost all aspects its better than the D700
A friend of mine has de the D750 and I played a bit with it. What bothers me most is the meter mode selector at the back is gone. Same with the AF area mode selector. Have those been put into a menu? The AE lock button is gone, ok you can use the function button, but you lose a button anyway (the function button on my D700 is programmed as auto ISO so I can quickly turn it on/off without fiddling in the menu). The focus mode switch on de 750 only has AF and M. No more C and S.
As far as I can see, some things that could be quickly adjusted on the D700 now are either under a button or in the menu.
My first impression is: I dont like the ergonomics. Probably a matter of getting accustomed but I wonder why does Nikon change this with every new model or successor? Why not improve the technical specs but leave the ergonomics as it is.
Or are there good reasons for those changes, that I don't yet see.
Anyone owned/compared the two?
