I just jumped ship 3 weeks ago.... from a D600 to a D750(had this only a year) to A7ii .
I found that shooting D750 is way faster, even on telephoto and low light. Way lighter...good gain here for mountain hikers like myself when pair with Sony FE 16-35mm f4. |

DSLR AF still the best, mirrorless cant beat. If you into sports photography stick with DSLR. If you want lighter equip go for mirrorless.. but must sacrifice.. AF, unless you manual focus

TS should get a hands on experience to gauge for him/herself before jumping to conclusions. |

AF, unless you manual focus Mirrorless isn't that bad la, in fact it's not far off from DSLR.You can't just generalize DSLR AF system as well. Let's take Nikon line-up, D500 / D5 / D4 whatever has superb AF, then D750 is great too but when you go with D610 or others the AF isn't that great already. Same with Canon, 5D2 wasn't great, some people even bought a 50D to accompany the 5D2 for AF critical scene but Canon's 60D range, is good and it gets better with 5D3 / 5D4 / 1D range. Also to say Mirrorless is lighter - well that depends as well, A7II with CZ lens + a bunch of batteries, the weight reduction isn't that much of a difference. A DSLR can be light too, say a Canon 1000D with 40mm f2.8 STM lens, now that's light. The variables are so many and so varied that it can't be summarized within a sentence. |

You have to be shooting without a hood and under certainly bright light condition like noon position sunlight then only can see that shadow. D600 vs D750? Aiyoh use Google la please. Specs sheet very basic stuff. |

QUOTE(DaddyO @ Dec 8 2016, 02:20 PM) Its not a noticeable difference. In fact bigger body benefits more if FF lens are big. For me the size and weight appeal is fine when it's small size, like say A6000 with small lenses.Once it reaches A7 series, you need to use CZ or whatever expensive lenses to get the best out of it (IQ, AF, whatever else) and that pretty much negate the claim for "size and weight". |

D750 has way superior AF system compared to D6xx D750 has flip LCD D750 has dual SD card slots D750 has faster burst mode D750 has Full HD 60fps recording D750 has default 1-stop higher ISO D750 has more AF points D750 has wider AF sensitivity range D750 has wider bracketing D750 has more WB profile storage D750 has more WB bracket range D750 has more shots per EN-EL15 rated by CIPA. Of course, it's not much different if you don't use those features but if you do, it's a whole lot of difference. |

QUOTE(Fzeo @ Dec 8 2016, 03:07 PM) so, apa difference between d600 with d750? D600 is not as fast in focusing on subjects. So children/sports/wildlife type photography highly recommended D750. If you shooting non moving objects then D600 is sufficient. how to differentiate 1st and 2nd released of d750? some said 1st batch got glare problems. Glare on D750 ?? hmmm....I didn't notice this problem on my unit. |

Try it out on sony centers. They have demo cameras for you to try.
Don't just read on the camera specs. Look on the lenses as well. Sony / Zeiss for the A7 are amazing, but expensive. Nikon has an arsenal of great but not that expensive lenses (the 1.8 G AFS) |
