750 or 810 or 800e

[chuasam]

I got the D810. When I bought it, the D750 was not even available.
My GF is facing the same decision. She currently has a dying D700. NPS loaned her a D800 for use. She has borrowed my D810 for a few shoots. Her assistant/apprentice has a D750.
The D750 looks good on paper but when she picked it up, she did not like the handling one bit. It felt too cheap and plastic compared to her usual camera and she likes the 36.3 megapixels.
But since you have a D7200, the D750 might be the logical choice.
For her the D700 to D810 handling is less of a stretch.

She regularly shoots at 1/8000s.

when's the last time you shot at 1/8000?

This was about a month ago out at white sands national monument. did I have to shot at 1/4000-8000, not really. Only time I had to was on a plant in that park at f/2.8 so I could get a nice Bokeh.

there has been times in football where I shot over 1/4000 because of how harsh the sun was on the white uniforms. of course I know how to get around it and add a filter even. but some times you hit a spot where you want the bokeh and you don't have a filter you can throw on fast.

the D750 can do ISO 50 and 1/4000 -- granted it's exteded ISO, but I quite often go to 80 iso on my D600 to cut out light when I dont wanna give up my other settings. That's equal to 1/8000 at 100 iso.

Forgot all about that. well besides going to iso 50, better recording, better white balance, a stop better ISO and to be full frame. I just feel it's not worth to spend 600$ more towards. and I don't think ISO 50 would have brought it down from 1/8000 to 1/4000

if it got 3 stops better at ISO, I would be all over this.

I've tried Googling how that works, and I don't quite understand:

Is ISO 50 at 1/4000 exactly the same as shooting ISO 100 at 1/4000 and compensating in Lightroom later? Or will shooting at ISO 50 first provide better results (if needed to expose correctly)?

No it isn't. The movement isn't frozen quite as much.
the D810 can extend to ISO 32 if needed.

True. But show me two images shot at those speeds where you could see the difference.

The exposure of 1/8000 and iso 100 vs. 1/4000 and iso 50 is exactly the same.

Like the OP mentioned, he's using those shutters when shooting large apertures in bright sun in order to cut out the light He can still do that on the D750.

It was never about stopping movement.

It's software, so more or less like shooting a raw at 1\4000 with iso 100, and then reducing by 1ev in lr.

Not me. Never had to have it, but I could change quick instead of throwing a filter on.

But I know wildlife photographers state they need to at times.

This was shot at ISO 32254 with a D750.

That is impressive. My exif viewer says ISO 6400. Guess the viewer can't go higher

the EXIF says 6400.... so grain of salt here (no pun intended).

If it did that at 32,000...... oh man I would be grabbing the d750............ Nikon needs to make that camera that can do that great at 32,000 iso. LOL

Sorry I am an idiot I posted the wrong picture. here is the correct one.
