If they designed it the way it behaves than all the others who don't have the same problem are getting out of spec (not the way they designed) D750
Seems like the issue is the related to certain batch of D750 but hard to say because most users who reported didn't include the serial or they have sent them back for replacement.

How can you suggest a manufacturing defect? Maybe it was by design and manufactured to such design. Design and manufacturing defect(s) aren't necessarily the same.
Sometimes it is useless to talk to someone who is not seeing what others are seeing.
He kept telling us about lens flare because that is what he is seeing. Both his cameras D810 and Sinar P are not able to reproduce the unusual dark patterns on top of the screen, and he just don't get it.
It is like flooring the gas pedal on his Honda Accord and telling us that there is no way a car can go as fast as 300 kmph like a Ferrari Testa Rosa. And then treat those Ferrari drivers like kindergarten children.
Well, that is too bad that we do encounter people like that in our lives often.

I would send it in and see if they fix anything under warranty specially if you think it will effect your photos and you are not OK with it. If they fix it, that means they know about the problem and can help others with the same problem to get it fixed.
Nikon can also narrow it down the issue stop certain serial no or certain batches of the D750.
Debating that or just sending it back to Adorama. Either way I pay shipping, which is BS. Nikon should pay the shipping.
I was able to reproduce on mine, serial 3008XXX - Amazon is sending me replacement and should receive this Friday. I'll test to see if I can replicate issue. Hopefully Nikon will address the situation if it's really an issue and or defect.
If you guys could please explain something to me about this issue. From what I can tell I would get the flare regardless with my D600 or D750, the only difference is the flare is being cut off at the top of the photo, is that correct? if so that makes it less of an issue for me.
this is one of the reasons I started this post and holding off on the D750. However, I don't blame you for not sending it to Nikon to get it fixed. You are entitled to get a trouble free new item one you pay what the seller is asking for.
Try explaining the issue to adorama. In the past, they have picked up tab for return shipping on my behalf. If they find out that you are not trying to return it but exchange it, they might pay for it.

We don't know exactly what the problem is. It may be a design or manufacturing defect...or worse...both!
Also, even though some people's attempt to reproduce the "problem" turned up empty, it is possible they:
1) didn't try "hard" enough (haha)
2) need to try under specific conditions
3) need to use specular lighting (or 40w bulbs )
4) or whatever seems to be the constant in the amass of variables in this reproduction
I have a D750 which I "attempted" to reproduce the problem. It was a quick test in my bathroom with six in-line lights. Nothing. But I'm pretty sure I could reproduce it if I try hard enough. I'm not losing any sleep over it since I'm really enjoying this camera. Paired with my D4s, it's a super combo.

You need at least some scientific experience or college level science education to properly replicate this problem
If it is that difficult then I don't care, because I will never see it.
I am always surprised how people spend their time after getting a new camera. Some are going to search for all kinds of defects like a predator and do nonsense "tests" (such as taking pictures with no lens attached) that in real world photography will never occur. Why don't they get out and take pictures?

Actually this issue was reported by some pro photographers. They found the issue in their daily work and posted pics on flickr. Then more geek guys joined in and paid efforts on reproducing issue and locating the cause of issue.
IMHO, we should say thanks to them.
Send them back to the stores. Why pay that much to get a defective product? The stores will inform Nikon and if Nikon feels the pressure from the stores they may probably do something before a law firm starts to get signatures For a class action against nikon again
I still haven't seen a decent photo ruined by this phenomenon. Every shot posted had so much over the top flare, in my opinion, they were rubbish to begin with. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it seems that under the circumstances it appears, it's not a problem that will show up unless pushed under extreme conditions. I understand everybody's shooting style & likes are different, but at least for me, it's not a worry....
Tested mine today and found the issue. Did a quick shoot of my kids on the trampoline with my 50mm 1.4G with the lens hood on. Took about 60 pictures and it came up in 4 of them.
I posted all the pics in a Flickr set so you can see where it happened and where it didn't.

I am a pro, and I canīt come home from a wedding after shooting with new equipment just to discover that the kiss-at-the-altar shots are unusable because of camera malfunction. So I test it, before I use it.
As I shoot a lot into the sun I will not take the d750 anymore as my main camera until this is sorted out. If a shot sucks, I want it to be my mistake, not the one of my camera.

Exactly. And as a Canon shooter looking to make the switch, I'm not sure what to think now.
I could buy a D810, but even that exhibits the same fault, apparently.
