Looking to buy a Nikon D750 in excellent condition. Only need the body but for the right price I'll consider various kits.

Must be one owner
Must be under 10K shutter count
Prefer under three years old
Must not have been repaired (other than shutter replaced by Nikon)
Prefer USA model
No refurbished
Pay via PayPal

Price to include shipping and appropriate insurance to 54904.

Willing to pay a fair, competitive price.

Thanks!

A great number of them have had shutter replacements. You should have no problem with that.

Oh, that's right! I forgot about many of them needing shutter replacements. Thank you so much for the reminder!

So that raises a few questions about buying a used D750:

When Nikon replaces a shutter, is the count reset to zero?
If someone selling their D750 says they had the shutter replaced but the count was not reset, is that a red flag?
Since the shutter would be newer, should I only consider D750s that have had the shutter replaced? Or would a D750 with the original shutter be just as reliable and accurate?

Thanks!

I am such an idiot! I currently have a cropped sensor camera (D7200) and was all excited to enter the full-frame sensor world. So I did my research and decided a used D750 would be perfect to introduce me to the world of full-frame photography.

B U T . . .

I completely forgot about lens compatibility! With the exception of one lens (1.8 50mm Nikon), all my lenses are DX. It's my understanding a DX lens will only use the cropped, DX-size of the D750's sensor.

So now I'm bummed, cuz there's no way I can afford to buy FX lenses for the D750.

Oh, well, the research was fun, anyways.

Your D7200 is a fine camera. You can do what I did when I was shooting my D7100....Start buying FX glass and shoot that glass on your D7200. Will give you great results now and build up your glass for when you do get a D750

I realize you changed your mind, but just so you know for future reference, the shutter count doesn't get reset when a shutter is replaced.

Good to know! Is there any way to know how many clicks are on the new shutter?
Thanks!

This is a great idea! In fact, I could probably get by with a standard 70-200ish FX lens to get started.

So I'm putting it out there again. Still looking for a D750 but now also need a usable, good starter FX lens.

I noticed on eBay there are some D750 for sale along with DX lenses. Why? I don't get it. Why would someone get a D750 and use DX lenses? Also, is a Nikon ED lens also an FX lens?

Thank you!

There are a couple of ways. Take a photo with the body. If you are working in Photoshop, go to File then File Info. At the bottom, go to Raw Data and scroll through to find it.

Or you can upload an unedited jpeg or NEF to this site, and it will give you the info. https://www.camerashuttercount.com/

Cindy,

I believe these just give the total camera shutter releases, not the value for the replaced shutter only, which the poster was requesting.

Oh. Well then, the answer would be no. Sorry @floyd for my misunderstanding. If there is a way to get an image that was taken by the seller prior to the shutter replacement, that might give a ballpark idea. I had the shutter in my D600 replaced...possibly twice. The shutter count simply continued and did not reset.

Good reason for giving the entire shutter count instead of the replaced shutter. There is wear on many parts every time you take a photo. Otherwise you could shoot 500,000 photos on a body and replace the shutter and have a camera that only showed 48 photos taken.

Got me excited, I now have an active bid on ebay for a D750. None to be found on mpb or keh. NONE. But lots on ebay.

As to "why do folks use DX glass on FX", one speculation I have is the sensor quality. For some magic mathematical or other reason I don't understand, FX sensors have superior high iso noise and DR to comparable DX sensors. Using a DX lens on an FX will also bring the somewhat enhanced depth of field for macro use.

Cost vs. performance makes me choose a few year old FX over a high performance modern DX body. I do love a bargain and the regular release of super Nikons and Sony and Fuji drives down the price of some excellent gear.

I expect to run the new D750 in DX mode with a couple of my favorite lenses until I find it unsatisfactory for some reason. As long as the cropped area is 10-12 mpixels it will be fine, resolution wise, for my uses.

Even better, the D750 appears to have a zero time for the learning curve coming from the D7100. My J5 has a very handy flippy screen which will be nice on the 750 as well.

When you compare noise from uncropped FX and DX images, the noise on the FX image is much smaller...so it isn't as obvious. When you use a DX lens on a D750 and crop the image, those small noise splotches are now bigger. But overall, the sensor on the D750 is definitely far superior to the D7100. You should still notice an improvement even when using a DX lens on a D750 and cropping the image.

I much prefer using my D750 (and D610) over my D7100 especially at a higher ISO.
