I was able to get the black line to show this morning shooting into the sun. Here is my example. Now I am debating returning the d750 and getting another d810 instead. Hmm...

So is this live view only? or can it be replicated by using the viewfinder... just harder to do probably.

I am not very sure. I thought I read it somewhere, may be on DP review forum. Will try to find and post a link. However, if your experience with D810 doesn't suggest that, you must be right (I don't have a D810, so no personal experience). Sorry if I created confusion.
Quite a discussion going over at DP forums on this. Filled up 4 threads so far.
One POV is that this can be found on many camera bodies, are normally discarded images, and in this case its just that a wedding photographer noticed it and posted... and now everyone is shooting the sun or bright lights looking for it. Others have the POV that while that may be so, this could be more of an issue with the D750 than other bodies.
Some seem to feel that any of this is shooting outside the normal parameters for which any SLR is designed, so if you do this deliberately, do not expect to always get the results you want. Others state that this kind of shooting is artistic, and something certain people do regularly, like wedding photographers, and since this has not come up before, there is something wrong with the D750. Event photographers may also have a need to shoot into bright lights.
Some speculation on consistency of how to look for this: camera settings, certain lenses, use of hoods, etc.
I'm certainly curious. Putting that flip screen on a small body with a FF sensor may have lead to a tighter design inside the box. So how very bright light plays around when it is shinning down the barrel could be different on this camera.
While this concerns me as I consider possibly buying this camera next Spring, folks who are hanging out on the Nikon Manual Focus Glass thread who are using this camera have nothing but great things to say about it. I'm not certain the problems that folks are reporting here that often are found only through extreme effort, will trouble folks shooting with it. Yes, I appreciate that for some folks shooting into bright light is part of the repertoire but that is hardly an important element to my work as a hobby photographer. Yes, I'll use that technique from time to time, but I'm certainly not "upgrading" my D700 for such uses. I don't believe the sky is falling...
I tried multiple shots and it doesnt occur with every image; very few actually. I dont always shoot into the sun like this either so its not a deal breaker for me. I might as well just keep the d750 because it is a great camera and its a good backup for me.
Did anybody get back from Nikon about this issue... It has been trending lately. I was about to buy one but this held me back. I know some people said that they exchanged their cameras and I was wondering if the newer copies still come up with the same problem.
I have prepared the list of serial no effected/not effected but since most users haven't reported their serial no, it's hard to tell.
As of right now serial no effected and not effected hasn't overlapped.
I urge users to report their serial no so I can compel the list.

Unfortunately There is no pattern as of right now.
Effected serial no are ranging from very early batch to just about new once.
Some international (non USA model's) are also effected.
It's hard to tell right now but as I stated above, if users post their findings (issue or non issue) with their serial no, it would be very helpful to the rest of us who are concerned/interested to find out.

I'm guessing all bodies are affected. Most who initially reported they couldn't reproduce issue were able to once they started using flash lights and such.

Hummmm, does it have flare look like D750 below or on top of the "black bandit" (now it has a name!) of D750?
Would you mind posting some photos?
Hi vjaved!
Finally I had time to get LR to work again. I've posted some pictures taken with the D610 showing the shadow in the veiling flare in the link below. Your welcome :-).
I am sure this affects every D750, as I believe it is a design fault. I try to describe how to best archive it:
- dark room, like inside in the evening.
- lens does not mater, but 35-85 work
- the effect is stronger when you stopp down
- point a strong light directly towards the camera
- activate live view. It does not mater regarding the effect, but it is easier to find the right position
- direct the camera so, that you have the light at the upper edge of the image, then slowly start to tilt the camera down, after about 10 (?) degrees after the light left the image you start to get the effect for about 5 (?) degrees, after that is vanishes.
I havent tried to replicate it with my d810 like I did with my d750. I really had to force the right angle for the shot to get the black line on top of the image for the d750. It very well could happen to all the cameras out there. All you need is the right lighting.
