Nikon has just provided detailed instructions for D750 owners seeking repairs to correct an issue related to flare. The company had previously announced plans to service affected cameras for free, and has just issued information that will help camera owners identify whether their unit is included under the advisory.
In the statement released by Nikon today, D750 owners are instructed to check their camera's serial number through Nikon's website. Owners of affected models will be provided advice about how to request service from the nearest Nikon service center.

Some models identified by serial number as affected by the flare problem may have already been fixed - this is indicated by a black dot inside the tripod socket. |
Nikon formally acknowledged the issue earlier this month, responding to reports from D750 owners of unusual flare patterns when capturing backlit scenes with bright light sources. The issue has been attributed to internal reflections caused by the cameras' AF module, the precise placement of which affects the severity of the flare issue.

As a current D750 owner and someone primarily concerned with still photography, the Z6 doesn't quite offer a compelling enough reason for DPR staffer Dan Bracaglia to go Nikon mirrorless – yet. But that may not be the case for you.
For a few years now we've been recommending the Nikon D750 to enthusiasts and semi professionals needing the most reliable camera for the money. But it might finally be time to change that recommendation...

Nikon has announced that the shutter fault in its D750 may be found in cameras from a much wider manufacturing period than initially thought. The company has discovered the issue, in which the shutter occasionally shades part of the image, in cameras made from December 2014 to June 2015. Read more
Kicking off our 2015 series of articles highlighting some staff favorites of the past year, DPR editor Dan Bracaglia writes about his experience with the Nikon D750.

Canon's EOS R, the company's first full-frame mirrorless camera, impresses us with its image quality and color rendition. But it also comes with quirky ergonomics, uninspiring video features and a number of other shortcomings. Read our full review to see how the EOS R stacks up in today's full-frame mirrorless market.
No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
