I have a question about this and when I searched the forum, your thread came up as the top result. What did you do when your Nikon D750 wasn't focusing correctly?

It was new, and I had it for about a week, and after trying damned near everything, I realized that the camera probably had a problem, so I returned it.  (It was bad with more than one lens, which is what convinced me the body had an issue).

I purchased a brand new D750 a couple of months ago and I have taken it on a few trips now. The pictures are simply not sharp and I am convinced it's the camera and not the lenses. I have shot with both high and low ISO and in dark and bright light and the pictures are still not tack sharp (I can't even seem to find the focus point in any of the photos). My D700 had a better focus than this. I keep thinking I must be wrong b/c I can't find anyone else having this problem, but it seems to be all my photos, despite the lens.

That was exactly the problem I had.  I'd see if you can try another sample and compare, if there are any local dealers near you who will let you pop in your own card to a demo one.  If yours is still softer than the other body, send it in for repair.
