We were swamping Iain's metadata thread with discussions on the D750, so I've started a new thread. Having received the Lexar card this morning I took time out to refamilarise myself with the D750. Jonathan....It doesn't have an aperture/shutter lock....or I couldn't find it! Running a continuous high speed burst, the card records 15 shots before gulping. ( That's 14bit raw files at both fast and slow shutter speeds.) it cleared all the file writing within 5secs. I used the 24-70 for this exercise and discovered a slight negative. The D750 is very light ( similar to D7200) and despite having a really excellent deep grip, I felt the camera was too light for the lens. It's out of balance and counters some of the comfort in the hand. I should have anticipated this, after all these years. The bottom grip makes a lot a difference to the balance of a camera and maybe I need one for this body if using pro lenses?

So that is much like the D3 in its behaviour. Hmmm interesting about the balance of the D750.

This imbalance is felt in the hand/wrist. It's convinced me that I either need to get the grip for it or stick to prosumer lenses.

I think this is probably more of an issue for people who are regular/heavy users of the large D# bodies, I tend to look on the D200 as a container for the sensor to clip on the back of whatever lens I am using and tend to carry and handle the lens rather than the body when it's a heavy lens like the 80-200 or the 300 f2.8. That said, my old trombone 80-200 has no tripod bush so the relatively heavy lens is hanging off the mount.

That's true for longer lenses but I was using the 24-70. Even the 17-35 feels imbalanced. If you put either of these lenses on a D3 it sits on the camera base. Put them on the D750 and the body tips forward to rest on the lens. It's this forward out of balance that imparts rotation around the handgrip in use. It may be small but I feel this instability. Putting a battery grip on the bottom may restore that balance.

I have the same with the D7200 and D610 I have put a grip on both for better balance with heavy lens.

I've just done the same test as Eric with the D7200, I got 14 raw then hit the buffer and 5secs to clear the buffer.

I think my concern about the buffering was probably me, misreading the issue. When I 'experienced' this problem I was shooting indoors in low light, using long exposures ....bracketing! It now occurs to me that the time to shoot some of the long bracketed frames was probably disguising the time to buffer. Or at lest confusing me. Lol 15frames on the run is good enough for me.

All my cameraS seem lightweight when I attach the 400mm f2.8 AFS to any one of them. I am now in the D3X v. D750 v. D810 debate with myself. Unfortunately a second hand D3X costs more than a new D750 and battery grip.
