Looking for opinions on the Nikon D750 and D810. I'm not a pro but I've been doing this off and on for the last 15 years and I like quality. I don't care to sell my material. I just want good pictures and I do everything from desert landscapes and portraits with limited action shots (but probably going to be heavier on that side come summer time).

My buddy says the D750 should be the ticket here. But I'm obsessed with overkill and I believe the 810 would be serious overkill for my use.

Anyone with experience on one, the other or both? Care to chime in?

The IQ between the 3 full frame Nikons is going to be minimal and barely noticeable and the extra megapixels is kind of a disputed area as far as whether it really matters or not, with some pros saying 22-25 MP on full frame is more than enough. The 810 has 36MP I believe. So you gotta take that with a grain of salt, especially if your not selling prints, it may not be beneficial to you. I tend to look at it this way, the 750 will probably give most people more than they need performance wise and even at the entry-pro level making the price difference between the 2 hard to justify. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the input!

I read something interesting covering the topic of MP and such. I really like to do low-light photography and one reviewer said that the 810 was outstanding here due to the density. I guess it is possible but I'm not sure that's the entire story. I need to find a 750 to play with. I do like the fact that the 750 and 810 are very quiet too. Canons are too damn loud.
