Poor build quality
on December 2, 2017

from Okemos, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had this camera for close to 18 months, and decided to sell it locally, because it started to freeze it's shutter randomly showing me error. This only started after the first 12 months after warranty expired. Nikon's second recall had my serial number listed, so after sending it to Nikon, the problem seemed to have been fixed, but by the time I lost my confidence in this camera. Here are my findings on the D750.
Pros
- Very nice image quality.
- Low light capabilities are amazing.
- Shadows can be recovered easily in photoshop and I was amazed with how much details it had.
- low price compared to D810
Cons
- Poor build quality
- shutter freezing issues
- Annoying buffer. Felt like throwing it in few situations where it wouldn't take anymore pictures after a burst of 3 or 4 images.
- Button placement are not ergonomic.

Too hyped but no where close
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Jibs
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this lens based on the incredible reviews on all sites. Bought this lens so that it will focus closely compared to my 70-200 vr ii. Out of every 10 shots I took handheld with this lens at least 3 to 4 were out of focus. Tried this on both a D750 and D500, but same results.
Either I received a bad copy, or I am not understanding what others see in this. :) Definitely this is going back to Bestbuy.

Extraordinary images and connectivity define the Nikon D500. This 20.9-megapixel DX-format camera lets you get the most out of your photography with its huge ISO 100 to 52,100 range and ultra-precise metering and focus points for incredibly accurate lighting and color. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make it easy to transfer images instantly from this Nikon D500 camera body..

Great Specs
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: Jibs
Verified Purchase:Yes
I decided to buy this camera because of its promised performance like 10fps, 1/8000 shutter speed, touch screen, buffer speed, etc. As they all are true, the one thing that I liked the most was its convenient button placement. It is very easy to change settings like iso, and other functionalities.
I also own a D750, and comparing the image quality with what I get out of D750's full frame 24mpx, the D500 lags little behind in this aspect. Also, the D500 lacks a built-in flash, so the commander mode can't be availed right out.
But overall I am happy with this camera, and will be a good asset to wildlife and action photography. Nikon's addition of free battery pack seals this as a great deal.

Kit lenses
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: Jibs
Verified Purchase:Yes
18-55 kit lens included with this camera is pretty sharp, and works in low light with no issues. I won't recommend the 70-300 included with this camera, as they have no VR, and hence the pictures I took with them inside were of poor quality.

Freezing issues

This laptop is giving me freezing issues while using edge. The rest of the features seems to be working as expected. Each time it freezes, I need to switch it off and on, which is quite annoying. I am returning it back to the store.

An Excellent Step to Full Frame

I got this as a backup for my D750. This serves me with an excellent picture quality, that I was searching for. I think for people looking to get into full frame this would be a great beginner and later a backup camera.

Nice Wide Angle Lens
on July 12, 2016
Posted by: Jibs
Verified Purchase:Yes
The reason I purchased this lens was to take Milky Way pictures. I did not get a chance to test this Lens out extensively yet due to not having dark skies. Based on some of my initial tests comparing it with another wide angle lens from a different manufacturer, this is relatively far superior. I would have rated this 5 stars, but the reason I am giving this a 4 star is due to its plastic body taking in account how much this lens costs.
Pros: (1) Fast (2) Reduced coma (3) Sharp
Cons: (1) Plastic body (2) Takes a lot of stress to screw and unscrew the lens hood

Looks flimsy but great optics

This product looks and feels flimsy, but seems to be optically excellent product compared to some of its more expensive counterparts. For around $10 or less, definitely this is a winner.

Connect a light stand, umbrella and external flash with this Insignia™ NS-DUBR1S umbrella bracket, which features a shoe mount and an umbrella mount to help you create a studio light system. Swivel and tilt capabilities allow easy adjustments.
 

Can you use this mount without an umbrella? I'm needing for my Insignia External Flash only. Also, will it fit my Insignia External Flash, some of the reviews stated that the shoe mount didn't fit all flashes, as it's the same brand I'm assuming it does.

Yes, the umbrella insert is optional.

Enhance your camera with this 2-pack of Nikon D7200 lenses. It has a 70-300mm zoom to capture faraway subjects in detail, and it provides excellent optics for taking crisp, clear and highly detailed photos at sporting events and concerts. Enjoy an almost-silent autofocus with the pulse motor of these Nikon D7200 lenses.Memory card sold separately.
 

This is a good deal. But only concern is non VR 70-300 lens. Two questions: 1. Can I take crystal clear scenic beauty with this lens ? 2. What are the extra features we will miss over here due to non-VR?

You can take sharp images with this lens if your camera is on a tripod. Or, if the shutter speed is set to a higher number, i.e. if your lens is at 300mm, the recommended shutter speed is 600 or above, provided there is enough light.

Are the pulse motor lens compatible with other older Nikon camera (D-5100), and are older lens compatible with the D-7200 camera?

All Nikon cameras 7000 and above which includes the 7200 can take any lens ever made by Nikon, because they have built in motor. The AFP lenses will not work on older cameras.

Can anyone tell me what size filters these lenses that come in the package kit take? I have an older Nikon D3200 that uses 52mm filters. Just curious about whether I'll be able to use those or whether these lenses that come with the D7200 use a diff size?

The filter thread size is always listed on the lens. I believe the 18-55 takes 55mm filter, and the 70-300 takes 58mm filter.

would this be a good package for someone to start with in photography? wife wanting to start taking pics and have no clue what to start her with.

Yes, it is a very good camera. But, I do not recommend the 70-300 lens. Talk to bestbuy they should have this camera with an 18-140mm lens for the same price. Get that and it should do it.

Is this deal good until Cyber Monday? Thanks.

Prices are good, but the 70-300 lens without vibration reduction is useless. I recommend going with an 18-140 lens instead of these two lens kit.
