That's my YouTube video. I still love the camera, but when shooting backlit you will need to chimp a bit more. I suspect this will gain some momentum, then Nikon will start offering a free "repair" where they put a little black, light absorbing sticker somewhere inside the mirror box. I don't suspect it will be the drama of the D600 oil spots.
I'd like to se a true A/B test: Tripod, D750 vs. other Nikon body, exact same lens, framing, exposure and lighting, etc.
Then with several other lenses.
Don't look at all like light leaks to me.
A couple of pictures seems to have flares probably due to light entering the lens through steep angles.
And than a couple of pictures shows some kind of over exposure probably due to processor's image processing trying to bring out the shadows. Try looking at the banding of the DR and you see what I meant.
I also read on some other sites that when a lens cap was used, no light leak was found.
The other issue I noticed was the shuttle sequence when the sensor start or end recording is a little too early or too late based on 1st or 2nd curtain, as seen with the dark band on top of those pictures.
So, I think that this issue can be fixed by some kind of software update.
So the early adopters have essentially turned themselves into self-funded beta-testers again? How nice that is! I guess D760 will show up sooner than later.

No, there will be a year or so of Nikon claiming impact damage first. Then the D760 will get release which will have the problem fixed and a quiet continuous shooting option added.
Sarcasm aside, Nikon needs a new set of field testers. It only took a Flickr group of wedding photographers to find this.
I tested mine with the same method Brett tested on his live view. No problems for me.
I was getting worried for a moment there.
But man, that is really disappointing to hear.
Someone at Nikonrumors (readers' comments section) compared focusing screens of D800 and D750 and suspected the visible shining edge of D750 focusing screen as possible cause:
Seems like that mirror edge could be blackened with matt black enamel paint and a fine spot brush, assuming you have a steady hand. Too bad that's not done in the factory.
