I am a professional photographer in eastern idaho, everything about this camera is stellar, the quality of images the shutter of how smooth it snaps. I love the raw files also low light capabilities. Guys dont let people say that this cant perform in low light it, it focuss quickly and is very capable. Below are sample images

Honestly Im amazed. Ive had a D800 since first introduction, and have never been completely happy with that camera. For reference my D800 has about 20,000 shots on it (that Ive kept). With the D800, some lenses I got good results, others terrible results. When it focused properly, I got good results, but often it would not focus on what I wanted it to. Live view was almost unusable. Every lens required focus adjustment and that was a problem especially with zooms (you can only choose one adjustment for a lens ...). Shutter is noisy, let alone shook the camera. I could go on. 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 Im 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 isnt taking the new focus modes into account, which I havent 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 cant comment on coming from D800E, as I dont 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 dont 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 dont 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 Ive needed and didnt 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. Its not an inexpensive upgrade. But for me, it is worth it.

There are so many reviews written that highlight how great the camera is. Its super sharp, quiet, and fast. I use it and a Nikon D4 as my 2 primary bodies. I appreciate the speed of the D4 more for action, but for landscapes or shots requiring crop - the 810 is in a whole different league. Some will tell you the DX FPS with the extended grip will close the gap on the faster D4 or D4s. I dont think so given what you give up in the crop. I also find the D4 faster to dial into changing environments faster. But it doesnt match the image sharpness of the 810. So its all a balance - its why I now own both.

I have been using a D-610/D-750 combination for event photography and I was set to purchase the D-850. So, I pre-ordered the D-850 and sold the D-610. However, the pre-order fell through with delivery estimates of up to 8 weeks. I decided to cancel the order and pick up a like-new D-810, as opposed to waiting a couple months. Ive actually been very pleased with the results and can definitely say the new combination of a D-750 and D-810 is an upgrade over the D-610/750 combo I had.

The Nikon D810 delivers a incredible resolution. It’s reliable and with the correct lens you can shoot in almost any condition. I do lots of seascapes and it gets splashed almost every day. I upgraded from a D300s to a D750 and then the D800. The first one survived almost 5 years of salty water and hard conditions. The D750 was a disappointment, after a year of use it just stopped working, and it felt like a step back from a more “pro” camera like the D300s. Now I feel back on track with this new camera.

The battery doesnt last more than 5 minutes. The picture is so blurry and when I try to adjust the settings the camera dies, so I cant tell if the image quality is the camera or lens I bought separately. I noticed that one time I tried to turn the camera off, the info panel on top was still on.. maybe this caused the battery to die. Regardless, there is no response from this business.

Received this D810 new in the box, and once I had it set to my menu specs for desired image quality this camera has produced exceptional images, both in quality and sharpness! It has the versatility to perform image captures from very low light to extremes and all have been sharp and detailed. The large pixel count of 36mp gives the range to capture minute details and the entire range of HDR photography. I love this camera!

This camera is all I had hoped for and more. I held off from buying the D800e for several reasons, but jumped at this one for some landscape photo expeditions this fall. I print large "wall art" style prints for exhibition and sale. The images out of this machine are matchless. Your technique needs to be spot on and you had better invest in good glass if you want all that this camera can do. Otherwise, go with a more forgiving camera. I am an old Kodachrome film addict with a bias toward that color set, contrast, sharpness and tonality. The D810 features an ISO 64 capability, a new highlight-bias metering mode and a new shutter mechanism that lets me put that old Kodachrome feel into my landscapes with even better resolution and shadow detail. This is the perfect companion to the D800 which I use for hand-held work. There is going to be a lot more to say as I continue to use/learn this camera. But, my first week has been amazing. BTW: I download, review and do my file conversions using Nikon View NX v2.10.0. I do minor adjustments to the raw NEF files in Lightroom 5,6 and then do TIFF conversions for creating my edit/print files in Photoshop CC (2014). All of these popular products support the D810. While there is a war of words and egos going on about the current state of software availability and utility for the D810, I would not recommend delaying your purchase of this camera and miss out on the improved image quality while waiting around for some future version of Capture NX-D to satisfy all the critics. It will come in good time and you will have built up a library of high IQ images with the D810 which you can use test the software. I am a working professional and I am quite satisfied with the available software and where it is going. Nikon will catch up eventually and the critics will move on to gripe about something else. 6-Month Update: I remain happy with my D810. I picked up a Nikkor AF-S 85mm f1.4G and am truly amazed at the resolution the camera can squeeze out of this lens. I am waiting for a new Nikkor AF-S 300mm f4E PF to add to the kit. From what I have seen in sample images, this will be another great combo.

Its a Nikon D810, you cant go wrong with it. I suggest if theres a warranty with it to get it since it is such an expensive camera. This thing is HUGE compared to lower grade DSLRs. It is truly amazing though. Worth every dollar. However is a big confusing going from a lower grade camera to this one but is worth it.

I finally stepped up from the D700 to the D810. Why? Three basic reasons in order of importance...higher resolution (12 to 36 mp) for more wiggle room when cropping digitally, better AF capabilities and lower native ISO capability (100 to 64 ISO) with the associated increase in dynamic range. Ive only had the camera for about a week and Ive managed to put a couple of hundred shots through it (mostly test stuff but also some real world shooting). I cant say Ive "wrung" it out completely, but at this point I am very, very happy with my purchase. I got all the things I wanted and am finding a host of other "new" features that I really love including the upgrade to the LCD, lower weight, better ergonomics, quiet shutter feature, electronic front curtain shutter, etc. Though I didnt buy it for video, I am glad it has that capability and will undoubtedly use it now and again. It was nearly a seamless transition for me from the D700 controls to the D810 (well, except the plus and minus buttons are reversed but Ill get used to it!). The only issue for me is that the .NEF files out of the D810 cannot be read by Capture NX2. Not the cameras fault but Im not too happy about having to change processing software (looks like Lightroom will be it for me). But, Ill suck it up and move forward. Bottom line for me is that I love this camera and am confident that I will get many years good use out of it!
