The most significant camera in the full-frame range upgraded from its predecessors is the Nikon D750. It sits between the most affordable D610 and the pro-grade high-resolution D810. The D750 borrowed elements from both the cameras and made this uniquely. Therefore, the effective 24megapixel CMOS sensor and the upgraded EXPEED 4 image system makes this camera to perform high in an impressive way.
Nikon D750 Specifications
Body Design
The D750 is the first Nikon FX-format model to employ a monocoque body with a sturdy, and encased structure that does not require a separate chassis. Moreover, it satisfies strength standards while reducing size and weight. Magnesium is used for the rear and top cover. While new carbon fiber material comprises the front body and front cover, thus achieving a strong, light, and rugged frame. Thus, the sequence drive unit uses four motors, just like the D810. Its location has been now altered and optimized for creating space needed for the deep handgrip. Therefore, it provides necessary strength and durability to incorporate convenient features such as built-in flash and movie recording, as well as a large range of professional features. The enhanced body is resistant to both dust and water droplets that make the Nikon D750 as an all-weather companion.
