So on the D3 you chad the shutter button but if you half pressed it, it would focus first.
You also had the af button on the back too that you could focus with, so you could pick either one to focus.The D750 doesn't have that but it has a ae-l button on the back and you can change it to autofocus button in the menus, but when you do that it takes the shutter release button just becomes that and you can use it to autofocus at all like pressing it half in.
Its fuckin stupid but apparently loads of folk have come up on this problem, i;d have though Nikon would have released a firmware update that fixes it.... But no
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.
