I take photography seriously since 3 years, My first "advanced" camera was a Nikon D3100, after that, I moved to Fuji but since they haven't any FF solution I moved back to Nikon and I got the D750 at the end of April. This next example is heavily retouched by again illustrates how much is saved in those NEF Raw files. The highlights at the center of the photo are perfectly preserved. Despite a 3 -stop increase in exposure, there's virtually no noise or loss of detail. The image above shows exactly what the D750's sensor is capable of. Below is another example which was exposed for the highlights and converted in ACR with the exposure pushed 3 stops. On the Shooting Experience page you saw an example of how you can push the shadows without adding noise. In recent years, the advances we've seen in sensor development effectively manifest themselves as greater Raw dynamic range, which is perhaps most easily understood as 'processing latitude.' For the most part, these differences in sensor performance are rarely visible in the cameras JPEGs - it's when you start to process the Raws that you see the difference. D-Lighting in playback mode is different than Active D-Lighting that produces a more desirable exposure at the point of capture. The D750 has a built-in Raw converter which allows you to adjust white balance, exposure comp, Picture Control, noise reduction, color space, vignette control, and D-Lighting. The adjustments we made are: sharpening 51 with a radius of 1.0, luminance NR 40, and saturation +19. Spending some time with Adobe Camera Raw we managed to reduce both of those issues and produce what we think is a more pleasing image. The photo below is taken in dim light at ISO 25600 with noise reduction set to low and, as you can see, has both smudged detail and false color. Potential D750 buyers don't need an explanation about why Raw is great, so let's cut to the chase with another example. In other words, you can set up the camera so when 0EV is display, it's taking the bias into account. One other feature offered by the D750 is to 'bias' the metering in 1/6EV increments. In our time with the D750 we usually kept the exposure compensation down -1/3EV. That's not a lot, but overexposure is still not desirable, as you'll never get those highlights best. The one issue that we had related to image quality - which was touched upon on the Shooting Experience page - is the D750's tendency to overexpose by about a third of a stop. We grabbed the Raw version of the image and did some retouching, and the results are impressive in our opinion. You will see some noise and lost detail (due to noise reduction) at ISO 4000, but it still looks pretty darn good. ISO 4000, 1/250 sec, f/4, 120mm, Nikkor 24-120mm F4G ED lens ( Download Raw conversion) Let's see what happens when the ISO increases even more:
