I am by no means an expert but I just wanted to provide some thoughts on my experience using D750. I used to shoot with D90 and used D600 a little bit. I later changed to Canon 5DII. I mainly take pictures of my children and some landscape when traveling.
When I saw the above mentioned excellent review of D750, I thought this is the time to switch back to Nikon. I bought D750 a few weeks ago and had the opportunity to use it over a short trip.
I found it to be a very capable camera. AF always dead on. Pictures always crispy and sharp. Shutter feels great. Very light on my neck. Very good high ISO performance.
My biggest disappointment was the skin tone. It didn't render skin tone as beautifully as my Canon. I played with RAW, and all sorts of picture setting (I am not a pro but I think I know in general what I am doing). So I went ahead and got a 5DIII and the portraits I took were so good and they had that special Canon look and I didn't need to mess with the settings too much. As much as I love D750, I am returning it and keeping my Canon.
So maybe 5DIII is not worth 1K more than D750, but if you could get a used 5DIII for about 2500, then I would think it's a lot better camera for shooting portraits. ...Show more →
out of the gate, I find this to be true as well. I have a preset that I developed in the lightroom curves panel, for greens and reds to get the skin tone canon like. Generally, it works out ok, and works for me, but I wouldnt expect most folks to be as tech savvy to develop something like that.
another thing that seems to help is to white balance in whatever environment you're in. Yeah, too much hassle, but it certainly helps get you the canon look. After shooting a borrowed A7r for a few months, I was going to return it to my BIL, until I got serious about fixing skin tones (then I purchased my own). It's a bit much trouble, but now that I have some presets, I can apply them quickly and be done.
