Native ISO vs Expendable ISO

The Native ISO range of Nikon D750 is limited to 100-12800 and the expandable range of Nikon is 50-51200, Sony A7 II native ISO range is 100-25600 and expendable ISO range is 50-25600, so theoretically Sony should perform better.

Shutter

The continuous shooting speed of Sony A7 II is limited to 5 fps at full resolution, the Nikon D750 offers continuous shooting speed upto 8fps at full resolution.

OVF

I always orefer optical viewfinder over the EVF, it delivers realistic image to eye .. however its my choice.

Connectivity

The Sony A7 II offers built-in WiFi and NFC connectivity, it allows you to wireless transfer you files among remote devices and also allow you to use your smartphone to operate camera from distance aka remote shooting.

Verdict:

Based on specification comparison review we highly recommend you to buy Sony A7 II camera, however if you are Nikon system user then you may go with Nikon D750.
