Blowing My Hair Back! 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.I’ve only had the camera for about a week and I’ve managed to put a couple of hundred shots through it (mostly test stuff but also some real world shooting). I can’t say I’ve “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 didn’t 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…
Did I mention THIRTY-SIX MEGAPIXELS? Edit (06/28/2017):Still a beastOriginal:OH MY GOSH… LUV!So I’ve had a D7000 for a good 5 years or so and I shoot for my university’s newspaper and some portraiture here and there, paired up with the 70-200mm f2.8 VR II and I figured I got a real good setup. How would a D810 improve my photos in any way, right? WRONG!I ordered this bad boy from Adorama without tax. Like damn… That deserves 5 stars right there. Anyways, I whip open my X-acto knife opening the box to bust out this bad boy. Oh boy this thing is meaty. As a person with rather large hands this thing fit perfect. No more finger cramps for me. So ergonomic. Much fantastic. Also 100% magnesium alloy so you can drop it on concrete and get right back to shooting!After all that excitement, I proceeded to slap on my 24-70mm 2.8 lens and MY GOD. THAT FULL FRAME GLORY! On the D7000 it was cropped so I didn’t know what I was missing! It’s like I had my eyes closed! It…
A Pleasure to Work With I recently sold my D800 body and replaced it with the D810. I do not typically upgrade cameras this quickly but I hoped that the D810 would be a little more refined in certain respects than the D800. So far this has proven to be the case.UPDATE 8-11-2014 Spent two weeks shooting landscapes and wildlife in Maine. The new group auto focus setting was amazing for shots of birds. The focus tracking was amazing and I was able to secure the best eagle pictures I have ever taken and all the credit goes to the D810. My D200, D800 and even D4 would have had trouble tracking these subjects. The auto focus improvements are extremely substantial and have immediate real world benefits.The big headline to me regarding the D810 is the shutter and mirror assembly. The sound of the camera is completely different than the D800 or the D4 for that matter. The D810 sounds like there has been a lot of work done on damping the mechanical vibrations that occur when the shutter is…
