The Nikon D750 is the camera many have been waiting for: an attractively priced HD-SLR packing professional photo and video functionality into a compact carbon and magnesium body. It’s a camera of firsts: the first Nikon HD-SLR to feature built-in Wi-Fi¹ for easy sharing; the first to include an AF system that can lock on to subjects in dark environments with as little as -3 EV illumination; and the first Nikon FX-format HD-SLR with a tilting Vari-Angle LCD to let users shoot overhead or at waist level. The D750 includes the same advanced video functionality as the high-end Nikon D810, which is known in studios and on-set for its professional production pedigree. Videographers can shoot in Full HD 1920×1080 resolution at 60/30/24p, and record footage to dual SD card slots or simultaneously output to a memory card and external recorder. With its innovations and price point, the D750 makes professional-quality photography and videography more accessible than ever before.

MSRP (body only): $2,549.95*. Available in black.

The cinematographer on your list will love the D810, which is built from the ground up for film production. Its 36.3-megapixel full-frame FX-format sensor captures broadcast-quality video at 60/50/30/25/24p. The D810 includes features important for the workflow of filmmakers, including a built-in stereo microphone, smooth in-camera time-lapses and versatile crop modes. Video can also be relayed simultaneously to internal memory (compressed) and an external recorder via HDMI (uncompressed). For wedding photographers, the D810 includes the new RAW Size S format. At half the resolution and one quarter the size of full RAW files, this new format lets photographers shoot more photos without compromising detail. The D810 is a true workhorse, whether you need to record an event, capture a landscape or create ready-to-broadcast video.
