I am getting very close to buying a 2nd Nikon body to help me shoot primarily concerts in low light.
I really wanted a used D4 but I think I need to pass on the expense where I am right now with kids, house payment, life, etc.. I own a (1) D700 and use both my 24-70mm f2.8 and my 70-200mm f2.8 at concerts. I hate switching back in forth between lenses, but that is just the way it is with one body. I generally get to shoot during the first 3 songs, 12-15 minutes to shoot the whole band and hopefully get a few magical moments in that allowance of time. The drummer is always buried in the rear in the kit. The front man is in the front with the guitarists and bassist running back and forth. I have to dodge wires, poles, bars, and other photographers in the small space between the stage and barricade, its very exciting!
I am thinking about buying a D750 for my primary, and using my D700 as my secondary. I would be slinging them both during the event. My concern was the build of the D750 versus the D700. Prosumer vs professional. Is it strong enough? Comparing the two bodies on multiple websites the D750 is supposed to be an improvement almost all across the board. The tilting screen turned me off a bit but I do not have to use that feature, and maybe in crowds it could come in handy. I know I have maxed out the buffer on the D700 a few times in critical moments and I am not sure if the buffer of the D75's buffer has been expanded past the D700's. Another one of my concerns is that the D750 images might look different than the D700's due to the technology changes in the last few years, when covering the same event using both cameras. Any advice and reflection would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Brian Kirksey
