Nikon D750 vs Sony A7IV | Image Quality Editing 

Some of you guys have noticed the extra presets in my Lightroom. Sharp eyes haha. There will be a free update coming soon to all V3 owners ❤

Great images , I really like them. I love my older Nikons ( D750-D810 ) great image quality and that D750 can see in the dark, amazing low light focusing.

After many years of using Sony (A7III and A7RIII), I managed to find out what I didn't like much about Sony IQ, and it's precisely that extreme "sharpness". I'm middle-aged guy that used to have film cameras and early digital ones (Canon 5D, Nikon D700) for many years, and I never found the transition difficult. I see photography as an expression of art, so I get that from older Nikons and Canons. I can understand why younger people find extremely sharp pictures appealing as most of them have been raised alongside computational phtography built-in in smartphones. However, in my experience, it's not Sony colors that I don't like, it's the looks, the clean sterile look that have become today's standard in fashion and wedding photography. I now have a Canon R, alongside my Nikon DF and Sony A7RIII. I enjoy the images from all my cameras, but the ones that give me real satisfaction are those from the Niko Df and vintage AIs lenses. Canon R and Sony came second although technically, the AR7III is the best performing camera out my trio.

I have a D750 and a Sony A7lll, you resolved several questions I had. Great video ! Thank you very much !

The client is not going to Notice the difference on sharpness/details. Some of these new Cameras are so sharp it makes the subjects look like a copy and paste on the backgrounds. good video Thank you! keep them coming.

wonderful lesson and information thank you

Great video! I'm tempted by "newer" but I keep on mentally arguing with myself that there's nothing wrong with my D750 and there's a million examples that prove this fact, along with your video!

Chris thanks so much for this video. You have made my lazy weekend

thanks for the effort and sharing. i use the D750 with my Sony A7R3 together all the time. no client has ever mentioned any difference. thumbs up.

THANKS for the comparison !

Such a great video ! Finally someone being totally honest and saying it as it is ! Yes new cameras a better in many respects but you cannot disregard these older ( very good ) DSLR’s. They made great images before and will today in the hands of a great photographer! Just like Chris ! Many thanks for these honest videos. I also loved the one you did with the Canon 5D mk2 !

Great video. Many people still use older Canon/Nikon DSLRs, are happy with them and don't want to give them up. It's really not about having the latest cameras/lenses...Also watching the video it looks like you expanded CTM V3 little bit..hope to see an update soon

The D750 is the best camera under 1k

I primarily shoot with nikon for more than a decade, and stucked with d750 for 5 years, jumped to a7III this year and dislike the colour. Tried a7IV once from sony centre and could not compare whether d750 or a7IV output colour is the best. But this video change the whole thing. I still love the d750 colour science and from your help, I believe a7IV would give a lot more lesser time for post processing than a7III. Thanks a lot

Loving your presets on my canon r6! Awesome video, greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

What this tells me is wow the d750 is amazing. Glad I have one 😊

I think both camera's are great and both are on my shopping list. I also would love the Nikon D5600 and Nikon D780 also interested in seeing what Nikon does with the Nikon Z5 Mark 2

I'm going to meet the guy on sunday, who selling a nearly brand new D750, with the 24-120 lens. Shooting with crop sensor cameras (D3500, and now using a D7200) for 4 years, so i'm really hoping, that we will be really good friends with it! 😊

Great vid Chris. Love the comparison between the 'old' Nikon and the a7iv. Is it me or do you notice that sony have some kind of filter overlay over their raw image? See 05:50

Realmente não preciso ter uma câmera do ano. A Nikon D750 faz lindas imagens. Adoro Nikon. Estou me preparando para ter uma D750 e suas lentes, gastando bem menos. Quero voltar a fazer casamentos. O seu trabalho é legal. Vou assistir mais seus vídeos para me inspirar. I really don't need to have a camera of the year. The Nikon D750 takes beautiful images. I love Nikon. I'm getting ready to have a D750 and its lenses, spending a lot less. I want to do weddings again. Your work is cool. I'm going to watch more of your videos to get inspired. A hug.

I think the grain on the older sensors looks better, easier on the eye. I shoot Sony full frame too. Because it's sharper, eventually so is the grain. You are 100% right about what we photographers obsess vs client's value. They look at how the photos capture their particular moments, we look at the sharpness in the bottom left corner of the picture and can write three pages about it. It is great to have older cameras in your arsenal so we don't forget the real value of photography. Great video.

I used the Adobe AI Podcast website for the audio, can you tell?

really nice comparison video... i think a big part of the differences in details and sharpness comes from the different lenses.. an f1.4 vs f1.8 is like premium vs average lens.. also the extra MP count on the sony will always definitely give more details on photos.. even when i compared my D800 to my D750.. i notice the difference when i zoom in on pictures.. but.. another part of the details is also, possibly, the focus.. on dslrs, i noticed you almost always have to do AF fine tuning on your lenses if you want to get the best/sharpest results.. specially if you are going to use them at their widest apertures.. every milimeter matters in those situations if you're going to pixel peep..

Now try it with a Z8 and a 24mm 1.8 S lens.

The main improvement in digital cameras over last 10 years have been in video. For mirrorless photo, a7r3, a7iii, and a9 represent the sweet spots in resolution, balance, and speed. For DSLR photo, Nikon D850, D750, and Canon 1DX2.

Yeah I agree, my A7iii is too sharp and has pushed me into exploring and adapting used/vintage lenses. One of my friends shoots all his pro work with an A7siii with 12mp plus its beautiful video capabilities. Any modern camera is mote than capable

Thanks for this video. The Nikon D750 is one of the older camera I would love to use for street photography and street portraits. The same way i use my Nikon D5500. I still intend to purchase the Sony A74 somewhere down the line or I might wait for the Sony A75 and Nikon Z5 Mark 2

So amazing that the D750 result image eats Sony a7 iv alive

Fuji sharpening in your presets..Something new is coming? 👀

I believe I prefer the Nikon, it gives a warmer tone and a little darker vibe which I like when I see images. Could I start with a Nikon D750 even though it is an older model?

Per quanto riguarda la nitidezza la Nikon dal picture control Standard imposta la nitidezza 3 quindi devi usare Capture ND e aumentare la nitidezza e poi fare il confronto con Sony

Thank you for this movie. I want to switch from my Pentax K-S2 to full frame. I was wondering between Sony A7II or Nikon D750. I'm amateur, photography is my hobby. At this moment of time I don't plan to go commercial. After watching your video from photo session and this one with photos comparison, I'll take Nikon. Thank you again 😀

The CTM3 presets, are some of those custom versions that you’re experimenting with? I only have 4 options.

what gear u use to take this video for ytb sir? it's look great

The cameras have gotten better at taking the shots but the results are just as good. Pixel peep all you want but dont tell me there is 10 years worth of IQ beteen the 2. Went from a 7D to an R6. I now get so many more keepers but when I look at some of my old 7D pictures, they still look great.

Is this both on Standard creative style and picture control camera setting?

I'm using d750 and still love it. Every camera to me has almost it's own photo style. I just love the pictures that come out of the d750, although nowadays I would prefer it to have better iso for low light photos.

I use to shoot with a pair of 750’s until I swapped them out for the Z6. Try as I did I couldn’t get use to the Nikon mirrorless bodies so I migrated to Sony. I personally believe technology has stagnated so the differences between the latest and those older cameras are small.

Not sure what it is, but your raw files are always looking really good out the camera. My raw photos out of my a7riii just seems to have coloring issues, white balance and contrast issues when editing in Lightroom. So when I use your presets it’s hard to get a similar look.

what U use to record the sound? it`s really crisp

From the comments it’s great to see that the d750 has such a fan base. I only shoot with a d750 and I have never regretted buying this camera.

Considering that most people don't actually look that good, a sharp combination of cam+ lens is NOT great. Your Nikon D750 is what you want to use when you have people in the picture. Keep your Sony for landscape with no humans in it, unless they're 5.

if you or your customers are sensitive to delicate colour rendering performance difference between vintage french made lens vs modern lens, it’s worth to compare stunning difference on artistic quality which will show how well that oldest french brand such as som berthiot outperforms modern lens in richness of colour and smooth transition between. it will be well beyond those superficial factors such as sharpness, contrast etc.

Most of your obersvations I could understand. The problem was a bit that you compared a 1.8 against a 1.4 which is usually triple the price. And the fact that the lens is scratched suggests that is part of the reason for the problems. As an owner of a D750 I do see no reason to upgrade.

Sony has more functions and better autofocus. But in the end, if we only talk about the quality of the image, I don't see any difference. The thing with the sharp is 10-15% insignificant. In the end, you are interested in the final image. Yes, sony is easier to use thanks to the auto focus, otherwise I don't think the extra cheese is big

I had D750, I sold it and got R6 II which I sold, because I did not like the colors and shadow recovery and changing the way files looked in Lightroom was not pleasant experience. I got it last year, because Z9 was too expensive and autofocus of Z6/7 bodies was lacking, now there is Z8 with stacked sensor and good price for what it is. I planned to buy A9 second hand, because it is dirt cheap and I could buy lens with the money from the Canon, now I have decided to see if Z6 III has stacked sensor and what more lenses may come for Nikon, because I like the bodies, the mount is bigger(than E mount), so the cameras have better stabilization and lastly I don't want to regret it again, as was the case with the Canon. Here, when I play with the Sony and Nikon raw files, I like the Sony ones and they are close to my D750. One thing that bugs me is that when playing with exposure and shadows in D750 file- 750_0161 and the respective A7 IV file- CT205577, although the original exposure of the D750 is darker, when I push the shadows and exposure the suit of the man has purple spots in the Sony file, playing with the color slider does not matter, because it is not like small noise artifacts that every camera has, the D750 included, but big spots. According to camera decision A7 IV has better dynamic range and better color depth, does anyone know why does this happen? One thing that is holding me from the A9 is that it has even worse dynamic range and also stacked sensors can show artifacts like the ones I mentioned, I know A7 IV is not stacked, without looking I am almost certain it is BSI though. Thanks to anyone who replies. Edit: In CaptureOne it looks different. I had a small insight. It is low pass/anti aliasing filter.. It is just moire.

I moved from a D750 to a A7R5. After 5 months with the Sony I wish Id waited for the Z8.

I couldn't see Sony is sharper on 35" 2.5k monitor. You must have better monitor. I am shocked how good D750 holds up against the best modern mirrorless.

My d750 can handle lowlight better than my Z6II. I can’t get rid of it

I'm still shooting weddings with my D810s... it offers the sharpness of the Sonys and was superior to the D750 on dynamic range... but the D750 was a low light winner.

Is that a UFO at 1:37?

You chose terrible light to make those comparisons. Perhaps bringing flashes with you could have improved those pictures.

Both are greats cameras … but price will make the difference Nikon d750 around 1k … unbeatable full frame from amateur to professionals ( with the right glass ) Sony is a amazing brand too . Watch your budget and make your choice 😎

Apples and oranges.

Its only the lens, not Camera, maybe 95 to 5. Yes the lens on the Sony is much sharper than the lens on the D750, but it does not say anything about the camera!
