If anyone has both a D700 and a D750, I would like to see some sample low-light shots at both 6400 and 12,800 ISO at f4 to see how much difference there is between the two. I'm trying to decide if I want to get a D750 or just upgrade my lens to a 2.8.
I see all these fantastic shots with the 70-200 2.8 or 80-200 f2.8.. i have a 70-200 f4.. am i missing out by not using this lens? I actually shoot more with my 24-85vr. Also loving my D750. I shot a video last night of a local folk legend and the video and audio were pretty awesome.
Anyone who has one of these mind doing me a huge favor:
Put the camera to in 14-bit lossless RAW (CH mode) push the shutter button - how many shots do you get before it sputters
Put the camera to shoot in 12-bit compressed RAW (CH mode) push the shutter button - how many shots do you get before it sputters
I refuse to shoot in crop mode as a compromise but I am going to make a decision today on the FX body I pickup so I am looking for real world tests of your camera if you don't mind adding a few shots to your total shutter count on the body =)
Sorry dude. But that's not a worthwhile comparison as the d700 will fall apart after 3200 iso.

I can say by default i think i get 12 shots before it stutters, not sure on the other setting though. That is in Raw.. Jpeg goes forever it seems. I did see a chart out there that measured all this out for us though. It's better than the d600 but not as good as the d810 for shutter counts before the buffer is full.
Depends on how you like to shoot. Not everyone likes the look of a 70-200.

It appears that I can get 14 shots in 14-bit lossless and 33 shots in 12-bit compressed or 25 shots lossleess 12-bit. Now I am curious if this reflects everyone's real world experiences. I am fairly certain Nasim is testing real world with the camera in hand.
Everything I have ever read for high ISO (6400+) there are no real gains in 14-bit over 12-bit. 33 shots should be more than enough for anyone in my eyes - even action shots or wedding photographers. Ever since I switched over to shooting in RAW for low-light action I refuse to change back to JPEG now that I have seen what is possible using RAW files in post.

There are some stringent conditions that need to be met to meet the buffer size mentioned on the website. I don't remember what those conditions are but you need to disable all sort of processing like high NR noise reduction, etc.

DRO off
All corrections off
NR off
All have major impacts on buffering on all modern Nikon bodies.
My understanding is as follows - if you are shooting RAW most of the corrections/DRO/NR are really more useful if you are intending to not do post-prod work? Most of the corrections that are impacting buffering would be best handled in post-prod by your computer if you are shooting RAW images.
I may be oversimplifying this or misunderstanding what I have read/learned so please feel free to correct me here.
