Pros: Body Pro,color yield, battery life

Cons: High iso hold, white balance

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!!!!

Pros: Ergonomics, sharpness, colors, high ISO hold, dynamic range.

Cons: It is a professional camera and therefore to get in every shooting situation an excellent result you have to study it. Setting times and using the easel for these results. So for me no cons.

Opinion: To date I think it is the best full frame camera in value for money. The D810 and the D850 failed to outperform it. At night practically in the dark even setting the ISOs to 25600 you get noteworthy photos. And then in my opinion: noise? Yes, thank you. An endless machine. For the micro move I do not see damaged photos in any photo situation. The precaution that you should take when shooting is to set a time at least twice the focal length. Or if you want to risk having a good steady hand. In the control of the high lights D850 vs D700 the latter seems to have better yield. In the white balance I do not know errors and as far as yield is concerned the Nikon D800 is so ... is the D800. Either you like it or use another camera.

Pros: Low ISO from fear

Cons: Slow machine, AF every now and then dancer too loud at high ISO

Opinion: A monster!! I had the D800 years ago, well at low ISO generates files that are a pleasure as long as you use resolute optics, it is difficult to find optics that fully solve all mpx of the D800, I used it with fixed such as 105 Nikon 85, 50 the micro-blur is a rumor , come out if you don't know how to use it, it is a machine that does not forgive., l I found it slow in operation, MAF good but not excellent, removed only because the noise at high ISO was really too much, if we consider that the car was costing on 3000 euros when output bhè... Would I buy it back? Yes but definitely the E version, which generates pariah files to that of the 810

Pros: Sturdy body and neatly arranged controls. Very high resolution. Battery life. Good level screen.

Cons: Often encountered serious problems of F/b focus (2 models out of 3 possessed). Huge and heavy files, needs the fastest memory cards and many hard drives. High weight of the body alone.

Opinion: I state that I had 3 and twice I had to face the problems of F/b focus. On all my lenses both zoom and fixed, I had problems and often the photos were to be thrown. Also sometimes even the micro moved was noticeable and annoying. When there were no problems the files were great, amazing details in the macros and crop that did not regret the lack of pushed tele. Sold all three for all the above mentioned reasons. If I found one without those problems, I would buy it again.

Pros: Virtually everything: resolution, color, detail, dynamic range, construction, robustness, efficiency, enormous malleability and "workability" of both the Raw and the JPG (and you could continue).

Cons: Practically nothing but the heaviness: an elephant in the neck if with heavy lenses and external flash (God save us with battery grip, which I don't anyway). At the moment it is "dated" species on functions like Live View (which also not even use).

Opinion: Eagerly desired and bought after heavy economies, he has been with me for almost six years. I struggle to find them real faults, and, personally, I do not match those that are commonly affixed. For example the susceptibility to vibration due to the mighty (and noisy-but I like it) shutter. When I get the blur, it's my fault. Even without special precautions on tripod (the rare times I use it), I do not get micromossi. Obviously, its powerful Raw from 36 mpx reveal to 100% every minimum defect and softness of each lens, but much is corrected by the firmware, and a lot is correctable via software (especially those who use modules optimization of individual lenses). And then, let's be clear, starting from files like that, you have to make really big prints to notice something, or it's all "razor sharp" anyway! Even if the press was huge, and revealed a clue of softness and micromosso, you should look with the nose on the paper, but who is watching a poster with the nose on the paper?!? The dynamic range is something fantastic, the headroom from Raw allows astounding recovers of highlights, as well as shadows. To the point that one could quietly shoot with strong exposure "to the Left" (the opposite of what many advise) and then raise shadows and blacks without obtaining particular damage (it is known that to do so with certain canon were obtained patterns from "kilt Scottish "Terrifying! But they should have solved the thing in the last models). The depth and the power of the color are extraordinary. You do not feel particularly the slight lack of sharpness compared to the model and especially the next 810: The details are so many, and respond so well to sharpening that you really have to resort to microscopy to find differences Significant! Some signal a certain noise at high ISO. And, especially from Raw, there's really some noise over the 3200, and it gets a lot from 5000-6400. But reducing it with good software, it still remains such a quantity of details (even in the shadows) that the shot, on large print, is virtually identical to the 100-1000 ISO band. Here too, to find differences it takes the magnifying glass. I have no problems even in different shots at ISO 12800 and even someone besides, here using techniques of "expose to the right", pulling down the exposure from Raw and maybe then using a good denoise. I would now be tempted to move on to 850, but finances do not allow, and also allow, sincerely there is no real stringent reason! Other point: The results are also dear with DX lenses! The Raw output can be "pulled up" up to 24 mpx (higher side led to 6000 px) without any significant deterioration! So it's like "containing" a 24 mpx DX of equal efficiency inside! By updating the firmware, it works excellently with the excellent 18-55 AF-P DX VR, and with the equally excellent 35 1.8. We try to find flaws: it is heavy. At the neck with two bison like the 28-300 VR or the Sigma 12-24, it's osteopath stuff... and after a while it can give the wrist cramps. It's flashy, noisy and indiscrey. It's "slow" (I personally though practically never need an ultra-fast "burst"). For types of photos requiring great speed (I think the edges of a circuit from Moto GP) certainly is not the best. But I don't do this kind of photo. It is now "outdated" compared to the latest Sony monsters (for one). But here are flaws that, at least as far as I am concerned, are virtually non-existent.
