The Nikon D750 has been a top hit for Nikon, as its versatility and low-light performance have made it the camera of choice for many photographers needing a great all-around body. However, it's getting a bit long in the tooth, but thankfully, its replacement may be on its way soon.
The Nikon D750 has been a very popular choice for many photographers due to its versatile capabilities and continues to be a great camera to this day. Nevertheless, it was announced in September 2014, and as such, it's probably ready for a replacement. Despite Nikon's recent entry into the mirrorless market, it appears they're wisely not abandoning their bread and butter DSLRs, as Nikon Rumors is reporting that the D760 will likely be announced in the first half of 2019, with shipping to following in the second half, while the D610 will be discontinued. Relevant rumored specs include 4K video and autofocus points and performance improvements, as well as low-light improvements (not that the D750 was any slouch in that area). It should make for a good upgrade for the many photographers who find the model to be the best balance of many capabilities and needs. Head over to Nikon Rumors for the full list of rumored specs.

Looking forward to it! :) Just got my D750 but I'm not in love with it...
That’s interesting Taras, it’s a great camera the D750. Why don’t you like it?
i love my D750 and i will buy a D850. i am considering upgrading my D750 for Z6 because of the video
Nice. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets a BSI sensor.
I'll happily snatch up a used D750 after the prices drop. I've been very close to picking one up recently.
I'm not happy with it's sensor at all - the pictures look kinda flat and the colours are off. I made a little research and looks like D610 has a better sensor. I hope for a better sensor on the D760 and perhaps 1/4000s shutter speed.
It already has a 1/4000 second shutter speed. Did you mean 1/8000?
What? I have both D750 and D610, and D750 sensor is miles better over D610. I use D610 as secondary camera on the event shoots, but I end up shooting over 70% shots with D750.
Interesting. I've been quite happy with my D750. Its sensor is far better than the 610. You may want to dive a little deeper into the manual. The D750 has been an amazing workhorse of a camera. It will go down as an iconic Nikon in my opinion.
The 1/4000 max shutter speed is a bit limiting, though.
The D6xx and the D750 have the same sensor.The D750 has an Expeed 4 processor and firmware, while the D6xx have Expeed 3.
Good point. And the Expeed 4 produces better results.

And I agree that Nikon colors aren't that great. Better to start off with something more neutral like Huelight.
Also, the D750 has the better sensor. It's a revised version of the D600/D610's, with better image quality performance. The D750 will have the same sensor as the Z 6, or a variation of it (Nikon likes to change MP for differentiation), as it's Sony's newest 24MP sensor for third party use. Whether the OSPDAF pixels will remain is the question.
I've used the camera on one shoot, and I very much liked the files. I used to own a D600 and 610, and while they are nice for their price, the D750 sensor has nicer tonality and better low-light performance. "Flat" images are precisely what I want - I don't want RAW files with poppy colors and tons of contrast. Makes it very difficult to achieve consistency and neutrality across multiple bodies/systems.
The 610 is also capped at 1/4000th, so you don't gain anything there.
I really want to love my D750, but I am forever infuriated by its poor autofocus coverage. If a D760 fixes that I would be all over that camera.
Couldn't agree more. I had the D750 for 2 years and it served me well. Just got the D850 a couple week ago and can't speak highly enough of it!
I'm a Canon shooter and rate the D850 as the best FF camera on the market. I know videocentric shooters would argue with me, but I can count the times I've used my cameras for video on one hand. Were I starting over and knowing what I know now, I'd be shooting a D850.
Yeah, the D8XX line is great, I like the smaller, lighter form factor of the D750 but I find that, as a portrait photographer, I am more often than not composing in a way that the eye is in a part of the frame the D750 can't autofocus on. That problem isn't the case on even the venerable D800 and is far better still on the modern D850. (I also don't need the big resolution files, 24mp is plenty)
I recently bought my first full frame (D800) and I absolutely love it. Although the D850 is the pinnacle (I test shoot it every time im in B&H)
Don't disagree with the file sizes, however, it's all relative to your market and industry. I'm diving more into commercial work so the resolution is great to have. I also prefer the beefier body, feels better in my hand than the D750.. also the shutter sounds more desirable on the D850. Love the 153 AF points and the joystick to toggle my points rather than the 4 way directional pad
This is a great point. Although I've found the limited number of focus points problematic, I've generally been able to work around them.
At the end of the day, though, I was really hoping that the Z6 was going to fit the bill for me as I am wanting silent shutter capabilities and EVF.
But it fell short in my opinion, so there's that.
One thing that I'm wondering about is if the D760 will come with a single card slot. If Nikon goes that route, it will be even stupider than doing so in their new Z line up. The reason I say that is because of the popularity of the D750 with wedding photographers. I imagine there are a quite a number of them chomping at the bit for an upgrade. No wedding photographer in their right mind would rock a gig with a single card. And the only reason I bring it up is because of what Nikon did with the D7500.
I love my D750. I take it backpacking all the time, and I've beaten the hell out of it. It's been in heavy rain events, dropped multiple times (even from chest height on asphalt), and just keeps on taking great photos despite the abuse. I'd love to have a second one so if this news is true I'll have to see if I want a second D750 or the newer D760. I hope they focus on keeping the weight down. I know I could go mirrorless and I actually owned a mirrorless before but I enjoy optical viewfinder more. This D750 was actually my first DSLR after shooting with mirrorless cameras.
Why are they only putting a single card slot in the D760? What a big mistake!
Probably to prevent pros from buying it over the more expensive d800 series
Where did you read that? I don't see that here or on Nikon Rumors. Maybe I'm missing something...
Yes, I've seen nothing of a single card slot in the D760.
i think the limitation of d750 is shutter speed (1/4000)?! and Autofocus points situation in border and need to focus and recompose if your subject to be in corner of frame.
If they stick disparate storage in the new camera I'll be really pissed. It's been a bad habit of Nikon of late.
let's hope for a more pleasant shutter sound...
D760 already rumored to be backordered until 2021.
Amid all the excitement that a D760 will generate, one important thing to keep in mind is that Nikon will, almost definitely, configure this camera in such a way as to avoid cannibalizing sales of the D850. As the D600, D610, and current D750 all had 2 SD card slots I'd be surprised if the camera brought in to replace them all only has 1 memory card slot. The D760 is still going to be the entry level FF Nikon camera so, while it will have improvements over its 4-5 year-old predecessor, I wouldn't expect the world. I'm guessing the new price point will be somewhere around $2200. For two-thirds the price of a D850, I would expect no more than two-thirds the capability, otherwise Nikon risk poaching customers away from the D850.
Good point! It has already happened with Nikon D7500. It did not go too far so as to compromise the D500 sales. I would not expect the world either with D760. And about the 2 SD card slots... Hmmm. It will be frustrating to know that mirrorless Fuji X-T3 does have 2 SD card slots and D760 is not going to have them?
Who said anything about possible D760 not having 2 card slots?
The D750 is a great camera. Been using it for several years now, no issues other than the shutter recall, which was resolved quickly. Can't imagine jumping to a D760 though. I've yet to find anything I can't do with the D750. If I had to nit-pick, I'd say up the buffer size, fix the annoying shutter sound, speed up the SD slots a tad. I hope they don't follow in the steps of the D7500 though and keep the functionality for motor drive focus and ability to use old AI lenses. 24 mpix is plenty for just about anything, but bumping up the resolution will probably happen too. Maybe go to a 36 mpix sensor?
My guess is Nikon will retain the 24MP sensor in the D760 as it will now be the entry-level FF Nikon DSLR if the D610 is discontinued. If they increase resolution to 36MP, speed up card slots, increase buffer, and go above 7fps with frame rate, they will be likely to poach sales of D850.
Still happy with my D750 too. On my wish list though would be illuminated buttons, touch screen, increased buffer, and 1/8000.
I wanted to buy a D750 but the 1/8000 shutter speed was a bit of a turn off. So i bought a D800 instead! I love the thing. I don;t have the focus issues like some people have had. It's a good camera.
