D800 or D750 for wedding?

Hi guys,

I'm migrating to Nikon and I had my eye on the D750 because it's lighter, it's rated as -EV3 for low light focusing, awesome high iso, it has a tiltable LCD (awesome because I shoot video). But then I started looking into the D800...bulkier for sure, but with also awesome ISO, -ev2 low light focusing, us$600 cheaper than the D750 here in Brazil AND it has 36mpx, which means A LOT of potential for cropping (awesome for wedding shots!).

To be honest after all the awesome reviews I REALLY had my eye on the D750 (the LCD counts big points for me as I shoot a lot of video), but the crop potential of the D800 for weddings is just awesome (plus I could buy a 28mm f1.8 or a 50mm f1.4 with the spare money).

At the same time I hear A LOT of people complaining about the D800's huge files.

What do you guys think? Did anyone here use both?
 
If you are doing any video work with the camera, get the D750 instead of the D800.

Also you lose the cropping advantage during weddings because the D750 is better in low light than the D800. Also keep in mind that 24mp vs 36mp is not that much is real world situations. Don't let that one statistic sway you.
