Nikon D750 Review – Performance

One of the real areas where Nikon pitches the D750 to excel at is in its autofocus performance.

The model sports a new Multi-Cam 3500FX Mark II Autofocus module which debuts on the D750. One of the highlights of this new system is the ability to focus in extremely dark conditions, right down to -3EV according to Nikon’s claims.

The D750 sports some 51 AF points with 15 cross-type points and 11 points intended for use with a teleconverter.

It’s safe to say that the range of AF settings and customisation is comprehensive. For example, in AF-S users can select Auto Area AF, Single Point AF or Group Area AF, all of which can be adjusted and selected from using the D-Pad on the rear of the camera.

Where AF-C continuous mode is selected the D750 makes use of 3D tracking thanks to a 91k-dot Colour sensor, and as a result it delivers an impressive level of accuracy.

The new module also delivers a really impressively fast level of focusing performance, even in low light conditions.

Also in live view the D750 is quick to focus, thanks to the employment of contrast detection AF. On the whole, it really is pleasing to see a professional level of AF performance in what’s essentially an enthusiast DSLR.

Another welcome feature of the camera is the presence of a DX crop mode. There’s a1.5x DX crop, as well as 1.2x crop available for those who’d like to get a bit more reach from their Nikon lenses, however with these crop modes employed it’s worth baring in mind it lowers the resolution to 10.3MP (3936×2624) and 16.7MP (5008x3336pixels) respectively.
