You guys who are touting the better build quality in the D810 where are you seeing this? It's not like the D750 is a plastic body.
It's just the overall and underlying construction that differs. The switch gear, rubber, coatings, etc. are generally the same.
The D8XX cameras a are a full magnesium shell, with the lens mount screwed into that metal shell. They have a very durable and solid feeling to them, but that is not to say the D750 feels much different in that regard.
Cameras like the D7XXX, D6XX, D750, and even the Canon 5DM3 use a plastic frame, and add metal "plating" to varying degrees, and in Nikon's case, also in conjunction with carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics, similar to what is used on F1 cars (for the front plate). Their lens mounts are screwed into the plastic base, rather than a metal frame.
Weather sealing is probably on par between D750 & D800, it is very good on all the bodies. With the D8XX bodies though you are getting basically "mini D4" build quality, rather than beefed up consumer build quality like the others employ.
