D750 ISO Test

How did you get the same look with such high ISO in that amount of light? Usually I see high ISO tests at night because otherwise the scene will be completely blown out, unless you've got a very dark ND filter.


Does the D750 have full manual ISO control? My D5100 does not from Nikon, but I have hacked firmware and now it does.

I just stopped down, and maintained proper exposure the entire time. The D750 does and you can change it and the aperture when recording. It is a pretty clean sensor. Grades 'pretty well' for 8 bit h.264, as long as the skin tones are exposed perfectly. One shot is 2500 ISO the other is 1600.

Well that is very impressive. I've done a lot of looking into the D750, to move up from my D5100, but the thing that really pains me is having to buy all new gla$$.

I haven't seen too many drawbacks with this camera, for what I am looking to do with it.

Like all cameras, there are some drawbacks. If you shoot photos the camera has IQ, but I've always felt skintones saturate strangely unless the exposure is spot on. Also the 1080 falls apart on wider shots. If your main concern is video and just like photos, I'd have to recommend looking into an a7sii or the like. Perhaps the the D500 would help with the sharpness of the video. I have wanted to try that camera with a sigma 18-35, just haven't got a chance to get my hands on one. I think the d750 is a great hybrid for the price. It seems like you have done some research, I'd say spend the money rent a few different camera bodies before making your choice. Internet demos only do so much. Good luck with your next upgrade Steve!
 
Yeah. I always do a ton of research and get down to the one thing I want to get, and I am satisfied with it.

Yes, I am shooting video. Once in a while take some pictures, but I am not a photographer.

I've done a lot of research on the D500 too, more so than the D750 since my lenses will work on it. You are hard pressed, though, to find footage or samples of narrative films that have been shot on it. Because of the double crop in 4K it is used a lot for video footage of birds, plants, traffic and bugs, just like a crop sensor camera one would use for photography of these things. I really haven't found anyone shooting narrative work on it though. Ironically the Black Magic Pocket Cinema camera provides about the same crop factor because it has a micro four-thirds sensor and many people shoot narrative films with that.

Yes, I have seen very sharp footage shot on the D500. That's why I am surprised it is difficult to find narrative footage. People were very excited to get the quality they were getting with the BM Pocket camera. Now they get even better footage and dynamic range, yet no one seems to be using it. Odd.

I've seen incredible video footage shot on the D750, and the low light ability is not bad either, certainly better than my D5100. If I had the money I would get an a7s II just for low light footage. It is exactly what an Indie Filmmaker is looking for for that application. For regularly lit footage though the dynamic range seems to be a little less than other cameras.

Yes, at this stage of technology I will probably end up renting the D500 body and a D750 camera to play with to make a decision. By the time that time comes there will probably something else on my radar as well.

I've owned the pocket, 2.5k cinema, and 2 of the bmpc 4k cameras. With a speedbooster the pocket becomes a totally different animal. I just personally disliked how difficult it was to get the color I wanted. I'm not the only one who has had issue with the color science of the pocket. The 2.5k with a speedbooster was nice also. The 4k with a sigma 18-35 was my favorite set up I've owned. The d750 is still around because my main client likes quick setups and the 400 ASA in the 4k was an issue in those situations. Plus I have access to a friends second d750 that lives with me so I can do two cam shoots. Plus it seems like I am always having to grab the occasional picture on set.
 
I think the fact that having to invest in all nikon glass is a deterent to many people that started out with ef mount cameras. They can adapt to those lenses to mft and e mount systems and not have to buy new lenses. The idea of having to completely invest in a new system isn't really appealing.
 
I learned my DX lenses can be attached to the D750 but at specific focal lengths of the lenses there is vignetting. That means I would not get full use out of them, so, new lenses.

I'll probably end up renting a D500 to play with.

I am glad to hear the speedbooster makes that much of a difference on the Pocket camera. I've been contemplating shooting a whole feature (has not been done that I know of) on a Pocket camera with speedbooster. We have some trials to do yet of course.


A DSLR just really fits my paradigm of a camera and it all makes real sense to me so that I can use it to its utmost.
