The Nikon D750 shares quite a bit with the D610 when it comes to size, ergonomics and resolution. There are, however, some big differences in terms of autofocus performance, with the D750 employing top of the line autofocus system borrowed from the new D810 with superior ability to focus in low light. Let’s take a closer look at the camera specifications and see the differences between these cameras. Please keep in mind that this comparison is purely based on specifications. A detailed comparisons of all the features and their real world relevance will be provided in our upcoming review.

Let’s take a look at how the two cameras compare:

The biggest feature differences are faster and newer processor, 1 stop improvement in the native ISO range and the updated Multi-CAM 3500 FX II autofocus system used on the D750, with the ability to focus at -3 EV (compared to -1 EV on the D610), much better movie features, tilting LCD, built-in Wi-Fi, improved battery life and better body build using a combination of magnesium alloy and carbon fiber, instead of magnesium alloy and plastic. There are a few other advantages to the D750 that the D610 does not have, such as the one click zoom capability (which is huge for me personally), but none of those are as important as the autofocus improvements.
