Handheld shooting with Nikon D750 vs Nikon D300

3 years 3 months ago #707468 by Kris W
I had been shooting with the Nikon D300 for a long time to learn photography and now I have the D750 as part of my 'evolution' :)  in photography.  But when it comes to shooting with out a tripod, the D750 should give me more options right?  I ride a bicycle a lot of times and will bring my camera with me, but don't have practical space to bring a tripod.  Isn't there a rule that states tripod is needed when you focal length exceeds the shutter speed?  

How is that impacted from camera to camera like D300 to D750?

 The D300 is a crop sensor camera and the D750 is a full frame. The crop sensor shows a narrower angle of view and as such will be more negatively impacted by camera movement at longer focal lengths.

The 750 is heavier and CAN mount a grip. Both, the better grip on
the body and the extra weight, are helping stabilise the camera — I
don't use any other kind of stabilisation.

I use tripods with all my long lenses 400+ mm and still can shoot at
1/15s and preserve sharpness under 200mm but not when my heart
is pumping like crazy while biking.

It is a very personal thing the "when" to use a tripod. Maybe a mono-
pod could be contemplated. I attach one end to my belt and the other
to a knee… Steve McQueen style. :P

Light is free… capturing it is not!
