The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon D810 Pros: Solid, pro body Cons: AF inaccuracy with AF-D lenses. Lack of focus peaking. Opinion: I had two examples of this model in my hands; they replaced a D800, which was used briefly, which in turn replaced a D700 that had been used for many years. The machine maintained the impression of solidity that I had with the D700; Returns excellent, workable files. It's a high-level car but I've never been able to find the perfect feeling. In particular, I always had difficulties with the set of AF-D lenses I had (among all, 80-200 F2.8 AFD but also 35-70 F2.8 AFD); A good percentage of photos were not properly focused; in-camera AF calibration provided inconsistent results. I got the idea that the mechanical tolerances of the "old" AF-D system did not quite fit the accuracy and speed requirements of modern AFs. Nothing to say with AF-S optics (tested with 28-70 F2.8 AFS), with which it is precise and impeccable. Even with MF optics, obtaining precise results is a challenge; The aid for firing in the sight ("pellet") is unreliable. In my opinion, at the firmware level, Nikon should provide a special menu for the management/calibration of the aid for focusing manual lenses (e.g. calibration of the focus point and hysteresis/tolerance); Also a focus peaking feature in Live View could have been helpful but it is not available (a lack that in my opinion is felt, on a Pro/SemiPro body). All this left me not completely satisfied as I came from experience with D700 (unfortunately damaged due to humidity) with which I had no problem using all the AFD and MF lenses in my possession. It's probably not the right camera body for my needs, so much so that I've considered several times to take a step back and replace it with another D700. In the end I recently replaced it with D850, which I think will be the camera body I will use for many more years. sent on November 27, 2023 |
 | Nikon D700 Pros: robustness, reliability Cons: Contact cover rubbers tend to detach with time Opinion: I used this machine for 7 years, at an amateur level, coming from D200. Impeccable build quality and image, for what they are able to appreciate at the level of the amateur. I have always used it in RAW mode so I do not express evaluations regarding the quality of the processed output. Usable, in my opinion, up to 800/1,600 ISO; going further, the noise stands out and, personally, if I am forced to use higher sensitivities I use the B / W as I can reduce the noise more effectively. I replaced it, with D800, only because - presumably as a result of moisture ingress after an intense rain - it began to manifest malfunctions apparently of an electronic nature (very fast battery consumption, flash not working, constant flashing of the LED access to the CF card, sporadic gross overexposure). I'm so fond of it and I've felt so good about it that I'm still considering an attempt at repair to keep it as a spare car. I give you a grade of 9.9; I avoid the 10 only because, given my not so vast experience on the use of other bodies, I keep a margin for any better experiences ... but it will be difficult! sent on November 01, 2021 |
