Product Description
Product Description
Harness the power of extreme resolution, jaw-dropping image quality and huge dynamic range in both stills and Full HD 1080p video applications. A newly designed 36.3 megapixel FX-format full-frame image sensor with no optical low-pass filter is paired with the thrilling performance of EXPEED 4 for staggering detail retention, noise-free images from ISO 64 to ISO 12,800, fast frame rates, cinematic video capabilities, in-camera editing features and outstanding energy efficiency. For still and multimedia photographers, The D810 will ignite your creativity and help you capture images that astound. For cinematographers and camera operators, the D810 will become one of the most versatile tools in your arsenal. The D810 will expand your vision and make you rethink what’s possible. Sensor size is 1.41 x 0.94 in inches. For moving subjects camera focuses continuously while shutter release button is pressed halfway. If subject moves camera will engage predictive focus tracking to predict final distance to subject and adjust focus as necessary. At default settings shutter can be released whether or not subject is in focus. When the shutter release button is pressed halfway, the colors in the area surrounding the focus point are stored in the camera. Consequently 3d tracking may not produce the desired results with subjects that are similar in color to the background or that occupy a very small area of the frame.

Take productions to the next level
Outstanding on TV, video and film sets

Bring the camera's remarkable image quality and dynamic range to 1080p videos recorded at 60/50/30/25/24p uncompressed to an external device, compressed to an internal CF/SD card or both simultaneously. Move between dark and light scenes without any iris or frame-rate adjustments thanks to ISO Auto Adjust. Smoothly change a shot's depth of field with power iris control. Shoot in a flat picture style that enhances dynamic range and streamlines post-production work. Even enjoy broadcast-caliber audio control right in the camera. Let the D810 and the vast collection of NIKKOR lenses take your production to the next level.
Command performance
Where speed and accuracy converge
The D810 performs with astounding speed and precision. Capture 5 fps at full resolution and in 5:4 crop mode, 6 fps in 1:2 crop mode and 7 fps in DX-crop mode*. Enjoy tack-sharp focus—crucial in high-resolution images—thanks to an Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX AF sensor that uses 51 focus points, including 15 cross-type sensors, 11 of which work all the way to f/8, plus a new Group Area AF. Internal vibration has been nearly eliminated with a newly designed sequencer mechanism and Electronic Front Curtain Shutter system. You can even quickly spot-check your focus by zooming in 46x on the large 3.2-inch 1,229k-dot display with RGBW alignment and monitor highlights during video capture with zebra striping right in the display. The D810 is as nimble as it is precise.
*When using optional MB-D12 battery pack and EN-EL18a battery (for up to 100 jpeg shots)
Liberating versatility
Thrilling new capabilities and inspiration
The D810 is a versatile camera for versatile shooters. Produce stunning star-trail images with unlimited continuous shooting—capture images for as long as your battery or memory card will allow. Create smooth, even time-lapse sequences thanks to new Exposure Smoothing. Preserve details in both the shadowy and bright areas of stage performances and other spot-lit situations with Highlight-weighted Metering. Use the D810's pop-up flash as a Commander for Nikon's Creative Light System—a major convenience for location photographers. Save your files in a new 12-bit uncompressed RAW size S* format that's half the size of RAW size L. Wherever your passion and inspiration takes you, the D810 will follow.
*In-camera RAW processing or some retouch options, such as image overlay, cannot be applied.

First of all, and I think most important of all is the autofocus is so much quicker. I was demonstrating it to my friend by just turning the camera to anything and press the shutter and it instantly focus and takes the picture. I set the menu mode for shutter release on focus only. On the D800, you will get the focus just a bit slower. Although this may not sound like a big difference, it allows me to get "that" picture with more confidence. I was never able to to use autofocus "c" mode to follow a flying bird because it is just not fast enough, or maybe I am not good enough of a photographer. However, on the D810, I was able to follow a dragonfly buzzing around my backyard and out of 6-7 pictures, I got 3 excellent in focus one. One of the picture looked like 3D because it was so clear!
The second difference, which I think is just as important to me is the improvement of ISO performance. I compared the noise level between ISO 800 - 12800 on both cameras. On the D800, I could definitely see annoying noise, even with noise reduction turned on by 1600, and by 3200, it was definitely unacceptable. On the D810, I could definitely see noise by 2500, and by 8000, it was definitely unacceptable. So, I can see that the improvement is about 2/3 -1 stop better. On the D800, I limit ISO to 1600. On the D810, I now limit it to 2500, although I think that ISO 3200 is comparable to ISO 1600 on the D800.
If you think this is not important, it is 1 stop difference. On my 24-70mm f2.8, with a 1 stop increase, it's like an f2.0! On my 24mm 1.4, that's like f1.0! I was at a restaurant the other day with the family and was able to click away many pictures without flash! The pictures were at ISO 2500, and looked amazing!
Another difference is the much quieter shutter click. It's not a big deal to me, but it sounds much better than the D800.
I have noticed though, that some of my pictures are not as sharp as I am used to on the D800. I would retake the picture, but I would slow down; breath out, and kept everything super steady, and then the picture would be supersharp! I think the D810 is so sharp without the low pass filters, that any subtle shakes will show. I guess this can be a "minus" if you want to consider that a minus. :))
Another thing I like on the D810 is the "group focus". This is 4 squares instead of one square to focus. So instead of aiming to focus with one square in the viewfinder, the D810 can be programmed to have 4 square next to each other. It is my opinion that this may result in better focus than the one square focus. The one square focus option is still there.
Overall, I really like the D810. I would definitely recommend this body, even if you have the D800 if you want that extra advantage. This is what the D800 should have been. :)
Enter the D810. Received mine just a few days ago. It focuses quickly and accurately. Most lenses require no focus adjustment. The variability in sharpness that I experienced with my D800 is fundamentally gone. My 70-200 VR (not VRII) which was unusable on my D800 is only not great on the long end on the D810. My 70-300 VR is usable on the D8100, more than usable at most FL. I would not use it >200mm on the D800 for any reason, not so on the D810. The 70-200 f4 is great on both, as well the primes. Just to say, I have more lens choices now. In some cases I'm talking significant differences. I can only assume in some cases there is significant (and negative) interaction between the anti-aliasing filter and some lenses. I took flat field test shots with all of my lenses with both cameras yesterday, and the differences were clear and in some cases far out of proportion to simply the increased sharpness due to no AA filter (using the difference with 50 1.8G and 85 1.8G primes as a baseline). Differences with primes were honestly minor.
Focus speed is improved. Focus accuracy is improved. That isn't taking the new focus modes into account, which I haven't tried yet. Mirror slap is very much reduced. Between these changes, I can hand-hold at slower speeds and get results I am amazed with. Especially with the 70-200 f4, I can hand hold at significantly less than 1/shutter speed and get very sharp results. With the D800, it took >1/200s or even much higher with longer lenses to get anything good handheld. Honestly, the difference is very significant in D810 results vs D800.
Live view focusing is much improved. My D800 was terrible. D810 is quite sharp and gives very consistent results on each focus attempt. Some have possibly not seen a change in Live View focusing, but I did.
I was reluctant to purchase the D810, but finally decided to give it a try. Within an hour, I was sure I was keeping it. I had decide to sell several lenses before getting the D810. Now, I will likely keep them.
I can't comment on coming from D800E, as I don't own that. From a D800 owner, having both now, I will sell my D800 and love my D810. Honestly, with the D800 in situations such as on a vacation, at a race, or in any situation where you don't get a chance to do it over, I was never confident I was going to get a good result. That was never true with my D300, I knew what it would do and knew what the result would look like. . And I don't believe it will be true with the D810 as well - in fact I believe it will turn out to be even more consistent (and good) than my D300. That is piece of mind that I've needed and didn't get with my D800.
There are other improvements as well few have mentioned. There is more control over what buttons you can overload. That is welcome. You can now overload the Lens M/A-M button, the Video Record button, and the Bracket button, as well as the buttons you could already overload on the D800. There are several other interesting Menu additions that I have yet to understand.
Every issue I had with the D800 has been addressed on the D810. Focusing speed. Focusing quality, Focusing consistency. Quietness of shutter. Lens performance consistency. Live view focusing. And you can still use the same battery grip, and batteries, as the D800. It's not an inexpensive upgrade. But for me, it is worth it.

El video se ve muy bien y es el micrófono es muy sensible, no tengo mucho con ella por lo que no puedo dar muchos comentarios pero sí la recomiendo en base a lo que he revisado, usado y leido.
Lo que no me dejo nada contento fue el empaque, quien está acostumbrado a las mensajerías de USA se va a desilusionar, en este caso fue Estafeta y lo único que hizo fue meter la caja de la cámara en otra caja mas grande para que no se viera que es lo que estaba adentro. Su "protección" fue papel doblado que no sirvió de nada ya que la caja de la cámara bailaba, espero la hayan tratado con cuidado ya que no es un producto de 2 pesos y si le pasa algo por ese ajetreo deben hacerse responsables de la falla.
The camera I bought was the best price I could find. When they shipped, I realized it was coming from the US - so I raised the issue about warranty. Turns out the warranty was through them, and they are not an authorized Nikon dealer. When pushed some more, they said the warranty was for 1 year, whereas Nikon normally has a 2 year warranty. I returned the camera and purchased it locally, where I could have solutions if a problem arises. In the past I have had problems with my pop up flash, and the spot metering.
The camera itself is a dream. The pictures it takes is absolutely stunning.
Here is a low light picture using a Tokina 100mm f2.8 macro lens.

PS: Need to have tons of memory options as a single RAW file is about 78mb, a good quality strap and quality lenses to get most out of D810.
