I am about to offload my D3 and D7000 along with some duplicate or unused lenses. I want to replace them with one body. But not sure which one. For the moment I have the Fuji system for walk around holiday use (although the jury is still out on this type of camera) so the primary use for the new body would be wildlife, sporting events, landscape and maybe some commercial work if it comes along this year. I am leaning towards either the D750 or the D810, but without a direct real life comparison I am unsure which to choose. Historically, bigger pixels have been better. So are the images from the D750 better than the D810? Does the D810 take the lead position when doing large prints or cropping harder? I sort of get the feeling that the more precise technique required to max the D810 potential might cancel the advantage. Thoughts? discussion?

There is also the D610 if you dont want the video twizzles of the D750 but I think I would go for the D750. The D810 is a slightly improved D800 with some nice extras. But will you use the extra MP and features. For landscape the 36MP will give great detail so might be a winner. The Fuji is equivalent to a 20MP Nikon if it existed, in other words it is the equal IQ wise to a D4 (approximately from my tests). The Fuji is the equal of the D3 but not asgood as the D600.

Of the current Nikon offerings my vote would be for the D750. Preronally I'm wating for a while to see what happens now that Canon has jumped to 50mp and there are some interesting fullfrane mirrorless advances.

It's very strange....after not using any camera for a few weeks, I picked up the D7000 and Fuji XT in quick succession. I have to say that the D7000 felt better in the hand despite being heavier...and the Fuji electronic viewfinder under artificial light was scarily yellow and muddy. In contrast, the D7000 was like "coming home". I have been pleased with the Fuji results but I do feel the size causes me to hold the camera in a less intuitive, less comfortable manner. If this is the way for all mirrorless models I am starting to think the DSLR feel is better for me.

I think the D750 is a very good mix of functionality and with 24MP it provides ability to crop out and still have a good quality image. Eric you can bring/send XT1 to me in Spain. I will use, or swap for my XE2.

I find the same thing with my kit. The smaller cameras just don't sit right in my hands.

Eric- As often the case, my opinion is the minority. I would go with the 810. I believe that increasingly we will leave the heavy glass on the shelf...but when we want to use it, it will likely be in situations where we will want absolute max IQ and so far nothing beats the 800 series in that department. As to the XT-1. I am not a huge fan...a mini DSLR is not what I want from Fuji (though it is great to have an lcd back that articulates). It just doesn't feel right. What you REALLY want is an X-pro 2... Nothing feels as good in the hand as the XP1...it just isn't quite up to the tech advances in the x100 or XE2...but the xp2 will be. D800 or D810 and Fuji x100T and XP2 rule !!!!! I still use the x100 (now T) more than all other setups I own...it is just so great to have a camera that fits in your pocket. Doesn't even need a neckstrap (use wrist strap mostly). Shoots with 1/2000 sync with flash, has built in ND filters...etc etc. Yes, fixed lens means you need to think more and move about more but that's a good thing. Tom

I agree with Tom that the XPro1 has the best 'feel' but it is lacking some of the more advanced features found in the XE2 and XT1. Maybe the XPro2 will be an XT1 in an XPro1 body but for me the only real problem with the Fujis is the AF performance and the EVF performance in low light with fast action. The OVF is not something I use very much.

As much as I like Optical View Finders, some of the better electronic ones have some interesting features. Got to use a Sony a7S on the weekend and it's electronic viewfinder preformed well. Was able to display a horizontal line and various info not available on an OVF.
