Camera giant Nikon has given the world a glimpse of its newly-announced D750, a model which has been much-rumoured before the start of the annual photography conference Photokina, but never confirmed.

Well, the enthusiast-focused model has finally been unveiled, and the company hopes that it will attract all sorts of photographers, as it combines “pro-caliber photo features” with that of their FX-format image quality, as well as built-in WiFi.

“The Nikon D750 is the camera many have been waiting for; never before has this level of functionality and vast feature set been offered in a full frame D-SLR, at such an attractive price,” said Masahiro Horie, Director of Marketing and Planning, Nikon Inc.

“These new products, including the SB-500 Speedlight and 20mm F1.8 lens are meant to directly address those who care about image quality and want the gear that will help drive their passion to the next level.”

In terms of the technical specifications, the D750 has a 51-point AF system, high-speed burst rate of 6.5 frames per second, 91 000-pixel 3D Color Matrix Meter III and 24.3-MP FX-format CMOS sensor.

“With a 24.3 megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor, built in WiFi, cutting-edge engineering, and superior manoeuvrability, the D750 provides everything a photographer needs to create and share incredible images in a single device,” said Grant Norton, National Sales Manager for Nikon in South Africa. “The D750 is synonymous with a crafted perfection of an ideal FX-format camera in its minimal weight and frame accompanied by compelling features for the closest true-to-life imaging experience.”

For video recording, the model is also rather impressive with its figures. It has the same video functionality as the Nikon D810, and can capture video in Full HD 1920×1080 resolution at 60/30/24p.

“The D750’s compact size and affordability will make it a welcome addition to any production environment, as will its FX and DX-format crop modes that make it a snap to adjust the focal range without swapping lenses,” Nikon said.
