Even with today’s “everyone with a camera is a photographer” syndrome, the event photography business is still ripe for making sales.

That’s a lifetime between digital camera models, and to say that the D750 is not nearly as groundbreaking as its predecessor from way back in 2008 is not a put-down of this new full-framer from Nikon. It just shows how far imaging technology has come and how much the D700 was ahead of its time.
