Bit of an older model, but I'm contemplating a Nikon D750 (D780 predecessor of course), among couple of others. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the prices of high-quality camera (my first real dive into this space) and hoping I'll use it enough to justify (I think I will, just have a lot of hobbies already lol).

The D750 is a fantastic camera. The video capability is a little dated, but for stills it is a great choice. I nearly got one myself, but I wanted the extra low-light capability of the BSI sensor in the D780. I also already have a decent quiver of F-mount lenses, so it was worth putting a bit more money into the body. For someone just getting into a DSLR, I would highly recommend saving a bit by getting an older or slightly lower line body and putting more money into better glass. If you have good lenses, you can still get incredible images out of an entry level body. If the glass sucks, the best body in the world won’t get a good picture.
