Pros: Sharpness, extreme crops, High ISO

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Repurchased after about ten years to use it together with the D600 and have a light kit (I have D5 and D3s).... Equal exchange between Nikon D7100+Tamron SP 17-50 VC+Tokina 11-16+Sigma EF530 flash for the D800+Nikon AF 18-35 f/3.5-4-5....At the time I didn't have a fast PC and in the end the RAWs weighed too much, to load a file it took 2/3 minutes and in the end I gave up..... A Megapixel was missing in my kit.

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: The Nikon D800 is a great camera, with a 36MP full-frame sensor that delivers incredible detail and stunning dynamic range. The build quality is solid, the ergonomics are excellent and the rendering in landscapes and portraits is spectacular. I feel great: natural colors, workable RAW files and impressive sharpness.

Pros: File Quality - Impressive Sharpness - Used Price

Cons: They don't make it anymore

Opinion: Can a camera, produced 12 years ago, amaze you with the quality of the photos it churns out? Yes, it can, and this machine still amazes! With 100 iso sensitivity it has a sharpness unattainable for most newcomers (pro and semi-pro). Can be used up to 6400 iso... Then he gives up. It doesn't lock on to exploding bullets and has "only" 4 frames per second. The noise of the mirror is "ignorant" but microblurred, if you use the safety times, not even the shadow. Solid enough to drive nails to the wall and reliable like few others. The second-hand price, in excellent aesthetic condition and with 25,000 shots (mine) is practically ridiculous if compared to the general quality of the product (450.00 Euros). It likes excellent quality optics to give the best of itself and puts all the others on the rope. Good fixed lenses = excellent results! I love "slow" photography and so I love this camera. Everything else is just philosophy to justify the monkey of the new purchase. IMMENSE!

Pros: Ergonomics, well balanced, dynamic range

Cons: Slightly heavy files.... but with 36mpx it's normal

Opinion: I bought this camera used. It immediately became confidencial, not at all complicated. A full frame that has nothing to envy to the very modern mitorless. Slow burst, it's definitely not for sports photography. Great for everything else. No motion blur found, and it does not turn green. Highly recommend, it is found at great prices and you have a professional machine

Pros: Colors, file cleanup, "old-style" body

Cons: High ISO sealing, dynamic range

Opinion: As a former owner of a D800, a Z6 and now a Sony, I spend a few words for this D800 that when I had the opportunity to buy it, 6 years ago, used, broke my heart because it was the first Nikon FF that I could get my hands on. I was amazed by the high ISO tightness and by high ISO I mean from 1600 upwards, a non-typical use that is often bread for my teeth since I often "play" when the light just isn't there. Then one day at an event I met a person who, with the same optics (the legendary 20 1.8 FX but he with the FTZ), aperture, time and ISO, sent me the file the next day by email and I was stunned to the point that after a week I had already sold the D800 and taken the Z6 that I kept until recently, exactly when I had the opportunity to try a shot with the 33 mp sensor that equips the Sony & IV and once again I was stunned and I made the leap of the quail leaving (forever, by the way) Nikon. Looking back at the D800 files, I realize what development and research in the technological field means. But especially looking at the electric viewfinder and thinking back to the old viewfinder of the D800 I realize why DSLRs are leaving the market more and more rapidly. On the other hand, one does not always shoot in broad daylight with the sun high or in well-lit environments. If we then talk about the dynamics of the sensors between that of the D800 and that of the Sony, well... Let's leave it at that. With the Sony I recover 3 full stops in the shadows, with the D800 it was runny grease if I recovered one.
