If you a photographer who shoot picture and video without
missing a single beat, and loves to share the products after shooting? Perhaps
the Nikon D750 is a great choice. However, you need to compare this full-frame
camera with the close rival, Canon 7D Mark II. The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is the
long-awaited replacement to the 7D. The EOS 7D II can capture Full HD video at
a variety of frame rates, including 59.94 fps, with your choice of file formats
(MP4 or MOV) and compression algorithms.
Meanwhile, Nikon D750 can capture
video up to 60fps, in 1080p, and features like flat picture control (also
available for stills), zebra stripes and auto ISO in manual mode make the D750
a powerful tool for videography, as well as stills.
The Canon 7D Mark II is basically a 70D variant living in
what most closely resembles a 5D Mark III body, and the Nikon D750 borrows features
from the D810, offering a faster frame rate than any non-professional
full-frame Nikon DSLR since the Nikon D700. The D750 boasts a comprehensive
video and still photography specification which includes a tilting rear LCD
screen and an improved version of the 51-point AF system found in the D810.

Neither Canon 7D Mark II and Nikon D750 are both Mid-size
SLR camera, but the 7D is only equipped with 20 megapixel resolution, while the
D750 is enriched with 24 effective megapixels. Another difference GPS feature
on the Nikon merely optional, whereas the Canon has a built-in GPS. For
creative photographers, the difference is not anything too significant.
If you are concerned with a higher megapixel camera, the
Nikon D750 can be your first choice. There is some truth, the high-res metering
sensor also ensures accurate exposure and white balance, with spot-metering
linked to AF point, face-biased metering, and fine-tuning options for
individual metering modes. Canon 7D Mark II has features a 20.2MP APS-C CMOS
sensor and dual DIGIC 6 image processors. It has a new 65-point plus a new version
of Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that provides continuous phase detect
focusing during video recording.
