Nikon's compact full-frame DSLR from 2014, now listed by Nikon Japan as a former product. Launched at $2,299.95 body-only. Still worth it in 2026: yes, if you shoot F-mount lenses and want an optical finder.

HIGHLIGHTS
Nikon announced the D750 on September 12, 2014, and Nikon Inc. priced it at $2,299.95 for the body. It's a 24.3MP full-frame (FX) DSLR with EXPEED 4, built on a monocoque body with a carbon-fibre composite front and magnesium-alloy top and rear covers. Its 51-point AF system (Multi-CAM 3500 II, 15 cross-type points, 11 usable at f/8) is rated down to -3 EV, so it keeps working in dim rooms, and Nikon said its high-ISO image quality surpassed the D810's at launch.
It was the first Nikon FX body with a tilting screen and built-in Wi-Fi. The 3.2-inch 1,229k-dot monitor tilts up about 90° and down about 75°, which still makes waist-level and over-the-crowd framing easy. The practical details hold up for event and travel work: dual SD slots, about 1,230 shots per charge with the EN-EL15 (CIPA), 6.5 fps bursts and a pentaprism finder with about 100% coverage at 0.7x. Video is 1080p up to 60p, with uncompressed HDMI out while recording to the card, mic and headphone jacks, and wind-noise reduction.
Our gallery comes from six photographers: Goðafoss waterfall in Iceland, the Speicherstadt warehouses in Hamburg, a honey bee on oregano at 60mm, the Nile at sunset at 350mm, a black-and-white beaver pond at sunrise and a heron in the shallows at 300mm. Still worth it in 2026? Yes, if you shoot F-mount lenses and want an optical finder and long battery life. For the mirrorless route, see our Z6 review.

Verdict
Still worth it in 2026? Yes, for F-mount shooters who want a full-frame DSLR with an optical finder, a tilting screen, dual SD slots and long battery life for events, portraits and travel.
For eye-detection AF through an EVF and modern video, look at the Z6 or Z6 II instead.
