Pros:Technological advancement, yield, construction, ergonomics, battery life
Cons:micro-blur if you do not pay attention to the shooting technique
Opinion:Purchased in mid-2012 and used until the end of 2017, the D800 was the turning point at Nikon of my photographic era. Industry-leading and unparalleled camera, it finally offered high resolution in a Pro body without compromising for a portraitist (compromises were certainly felt in other fields of photography). Battery of remarkable duration, especially if combined with a second in battery grip, sensor and sharpness leader for the time, it was still a pro body, a body not at all light and a very dense sensor. The main negative point was given by the fact that all these things left the photographer a flawless shooting technique or the use of very conservative shutter speeds to avoid shake. In retrospect the only better choice I could have made at the time would have been to take the E version.
Opinion:Spectacular, wonderful... I want to start by commenting on flaws that many have attributed to her. Let's start with the micro-move... not received. Some say that the WB is not the best... other defect not received. Is it heavy? Not for me, used to the D3... But do you really want to take important photos with small and light cameras? I find the weight and dimensions of the D800 perfect. In the hand the feeling is immediate. Noisy? The right. The truth is that it has no flaws. It's magic. Nikon has fused technique and science with art and poetry and the result is called D800. I tested it with the modest, but not so much, Nikon AF 50 mm f1.8. At f8 with flash the results are amazing. From previous reviews I did not imagine so much. And with superior optics what could be done....? Watching the Raw it generates left me speechless for colors, malleability, but above all for sharpness: a surgical detail. This jewel of digital reflex has undoubtedly opened, in its time, new frontiers of creativity. I love making portraits and I consider the D800 infallible in this field. ISO seal. Obviously we are talking about a room from 2012. In decent light conditions up to 2500 from good results, and beyond, up to 6400 the whole thing is acceptable. I use it with flash at 100, 200 max 1000 ISO. Managing flashes with umbrellas is cool. When I decided to take it I already had in mind to exploit it at low ISO with one or more flashes. It is not an ISO 100000 sealing machine, but at 100/200 ISO I do not think I fear any top of the range of any brand thanks to its fantastic sensor, and in any case if someone does better at low ISO it must cost at least 10 times as much. A special thanks goes to RCE foto that, with the used guaranteed at honest prices and the great kindness and availability, manages to give even an amateur photographer like me, only for now, the opportunity to experiment in the "photographic portrait" sector obtaining incredible results. I would buy it back 1000000 times, but only from RCE photos. I recommend it especially for the portrait. Grade 10 laude.
Opinion:everything was said about you for better or for worse. I can only say that with the objective "right" and understood to be worthy of the sensor after almost 10 years its portraits or landscapes remain difficult to even and almost impossible to beat. If you then portray a rustic interior with a fireplace................ his picture seems to give rise to the fire that seems to give off heat. The D800 is as robust as a tank, and is the same feeling you get when handling the D3, D4 and D5. I believe that today the Nikon "non-D-superPro" are not similarly robust construction, or at least do not turn out to give the same perception. His biggest flaw? It is, and remains to require "big" optics to demonstrate what it is capable of! Alternatively you have to "get along"! A small anecdote: one day per game using as a test bench a Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 we clearly compare in the same easel composition the D800 and the D850 both set by canceling NR, VR and setting PC Neutral and Matrix exposure e................... my cousin, owner of both the D850 and the extraordinary Zeiss, was stunned by the D800, which under certain conditions (composition-light-lens) can take incredible photos where by incredible you mean a jpg ready to prints "huge and impressive". A great machine to love especially for those two or three "things" that literally does in its own way in the "right" hands that are definitely not mine! Why keep having it? I would say why spending a million dollars if the result as a perceptible accretive diference is not worth at least one-fifth of the million dollars it would be foolish to replace it! If I had the money I would take a D850 and why not, even a D6, but............. without even thinking remotely about depriving myself of the D800. This is his best value; makes you fall in love forever!
Opinion:I finally bought this gorgeous car for a couple of months with only 8000 shots. I come from (in order) D200,D7000,D700,D300S,D7100. and in the kit I also have a D90 that will not leave me easily... I am not a professional photographer but I allow myself to write my impressions because now some Nikon I know and I would like to give my opinion to those who want to buy one. Well the high iso estate is the only aspect that really disappointed me (at night lamplights of streetlights with the 50 1.8 max 2000 iso... more you don't see ).really I expected more. I had the D700 with which I could take pictures at 4000 iso without any particular disturbance. I think it's because of the super mgpx. Too bad. Another aspect that they lose but for me a little negative is the automatic white balance. Especially with the setting sun you have to intervene manually otherwise something obscene comes out... I have to make a few attempts before finding the right combination, luck that has an infinity of choice in the settings The rest? It's a wonder to me! I do not take sports photos and the gust interests me little (however I have the battery grip and with this the gust so it's great ). The colors then, are really fantastic with much and little light, spectacular details. You can enlarge a lot without losing nulla.il machine body with the pro key position then it's spectacular. Valid display and beautiful sturdy construction. I highly recommend the purchase!!!!
