Nikon India has introduced a new digital SLR camera called D750. The D750 comes with built-in Wi-Fi and features a tilting monitor along with a 24.3 megapixels, 91K-pixel RGB sensor. The camera offers a continuous shooting rate of approximately 6.5 frames per second for both FX- and DX-format.

The Nikon D750 body only will be available starting last week of September at a price of Rs. 1,34,450. The D750 + AF-S NIKKOR 24-120MM F/4G ED VR lens will be available starting November.

The D750 is the first Nikon FX-format (full-frame) camera to adopt a monocoque structure, eliminating the rear body. The camera employs carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) for the front body and cover, and magnesium alloy for the rear and top panels to reduce weight and increase durability.

The 24.3 megapixel CMOS sensor combines with ISO sensitivities. An effective ISO range from 100 to 12800, also expandable from Lo 1 (ISO 50 equivalent) right up to Hi 2 (ISO 51200 equivalent). The D750 offers the capability to record Full HD movies in 1920×1080/60p (59.94 fps) format.

A new movie shooting menu and “highlight display” function are also designed to make it easier for the videographer to achieve a refined, high-quality video regardless of environment. A multi-area mode also provides support for DX-format NIKKOR lenses,

The 51-point autofocus (AF) system employs a new AF sensor module that enhances low-light performance (down to -3EV), making it possible to shoot using AF in dark environments. A Group-area AF mode also works to detect moving subjects.

It is possible to set the color balance on the clear, bright 3.2-inch monitor with a wide viewing-angle (170° horizontally or vertically), to suit the user’s preference. An Advanced Scene Recognition System that utilizes the compact 91K-pixel RGB sensor helps with focusing and metering accuracy of the subject.

A new internal layout is optimized to allow sufficient space for maneuverability with comfortable grip. A tri-axis hinge on the monitor tilting mechanism also enables the screen to tilt up to 90 degrees and down to 75 degrees.

The D-SLR comes with built-in Wi-Fi. The Wireless Mobile Utility application, available as a free download for the iOS and AndroidTM operating systems, enables a users to transfer images from the D750 to any compatible smart device. The D750 also supports wireless image transfer with optional Eye-Fi card.

It packs double SD memory card slots to enable “Overflow” recording, “Backup” recording, separate RAW/JPEG recording and shooting, and even allows copying between slots.

The WR-1 and WR-R10/WR-T10 Wireless Remote Controllers are supported, as is the UT-1 Communication Unit and WT-5 Wireless Transmitter combined with a compact FX-format (full-frame) model.

The D750, as an FX-format (full-frame) camera, features support for selected NIKKOR lenses and accessories.
