I have one which replaced a D700 via a Fuji X-E2. Honestly, I don't love it in the same way that I loved my D700. For one, some of my glass doesn't hold up as well on the newer body (e.g. my much-loved 28-105mm 3.5-4.5). And much as I have found the flippy screen somewhat useful, it feels vulnerable compared to a fixed screen, and nor is it as usable at the fully rotating one on the D5100 I used to own. Much is made of the deeper grip being better, but even with my wimmins hands I preferred the chunkier D700 and D300 bodies.
All that said, it takes lovely pictures and video given the right lens and good technique.

Yeah the screen is pretty useless and I get what you mean about vulnerable. I loved my D3, it was amazing, so much was right about it... But times change and these thing don't perform the same as they use too.
The autofocus is better thats one thing, but the body just isn't as meaty and robust as the others felt.
Ive ordered the nikon grip which i was hoping would be here already considering I paid for it last wednesday, as usual calumet keen until they have your money. Hopefully that gives it a bit more substance.
One thing that i fuckin hate tho is on my d3 you could have half press for focus and back button for focus, on the D750 you can have one or the other, what an absolute crock of shit...
Buffer wise I got the 95mb's sandisk and it clears the buffer pretty rapid. Although 800 shots out a 64gb is worrying in raw, least storage is cheap and cards are just as cheap.
I haven't used it properly yet on a job but from what I have done its pretty good so far, hopefully I won't regret this in 6 months... or else i'll be selling it and getting a D4/D4s.

Anyone got a D750? My D3 is old as fuck and I have money burning a hole in my pocket, seems like an amazing camera for the money. But haven't really heard much real world usage from folks.
