Nikon D800

I transitioned from the D700 to the D800 relatively late compared to most people here. The D800 in this review was a Canadian version bought in mid April 2013, roughly a year after it was announced and was widely available. In the past, my D700 has been used primarily for event photography. And it is a phenomenal tool for such a purpose. But I have given up that side of photography, and have been experimenting more with landscape photography and video. I still do event photography ...

I purchased this camera about a month ago and have taken several hundred photos. I have combiled this camera with the Tamron 24-70 F:2.8 VC because I need the VC. I absolutely love this camera and lens combo. the photos are crisp with excellent color and contrast. I can easily shoot at 1600 ISO without any noise. The noise becomes aparant at 3200ISO, but barely. Together with the Tamron 24-70 VC, I have not encountered a situation that required a higher ISO that 1600 (indoor wedding, ...

Good for studio Problems: complicated menus no good for long exposures

I purchased Nikon D800 emotionally. Instead of really weighten all pro and cons, I just took it. First of all, I should say that it is great camera. I would event say - it is absolutely best camera at the moment IMO. It has great image quality: resolution, colors, dynamic range, hi-iso capabilities. BUT in most cases, I put the pictures on the web or print A4 (20x30 cm) format as maximum. Do I really need these 36 MP? Answer is - In most cases "No". 36 Mp is sometimes problem: 70 Mb raw ...

D800/E is a wonderful camera. It is fast (focus), and has 100% viewfinder. It has highest resolution currently in Nikon's family. The AWB is improved, and the color is more neutral than predecessor. The color tone is second generation from Nikon. Hence, if you compare with D700/D3 etc, last generation is more saturated / more contrast. Also, the DR of D800 is a lot better than D700. Regarding the ISO, I can say, it is a bit better than D700. But keep in mind, don't enlarge both ...

I'm a photo enthusiast, and photograph with many cameras all the time. I've been a D700 user since it was announced (July 2008), and I pre-ordered the D800 the minute it was announced. The D800 is a FANTASTIC camera. It's slightly lighter than the D700, which accounts for a huge difference to me. I use the camera primarily handheld, and in low light situations (high ISO). The camera is impressive in every regard. It is fast, sharp, and ergonomically fit. I love to photograph my family with ...

I have bought it recently, month ago, and have only limited experience. I consider it is great (don't understand low marks of jpeg IQ in review). Just see on pictures, it is great difference with previous cameras, may by excluding D3X. At least, due to 36 Mp quality of picture 4 times better then D700. But... Every time I compare it with my NEX-7 I think that this great camera is not good competitor of last SONY product. D800 is too conservative in our days in terms of size and weight. It is ...
