Pros: Quality of the image is astonishing. I cannot make comparison with other semi-professional cameras because I don't have other and because I love photography more than the gear. Nevertheless it is a great camera.

Cons: Sometimes it is rude, mirror movement can destabilize the camera from yours hands. Result is microvibration that can affect the sharpness of the photo. It is not the right camera for street photography.

Opinion: This is my fist semi-professional camera. Internal software is clean just experiencing some issue with card memory sometimes say that the memory is corrupted. Still need to understand if it is the camera or the memory. Function buttons are very useful and the protected lcd cover is very appreciated. I still need to evaluate video recording, still missing it. If I should come back I will buy it again!!

Pros: Photos indistinguishable from a top of the range of 2024, and you can find it used for a thousand euros

Cons: Video

Opinion: At the dawn of 2024, mirrorless cameras have a monopoly on the market, so that this camera is used at a ridiculous price and is already being passed off as antiques. The truth is that, in a blind test, the image quality between a z9 and this one is indistinguishable. Of course, the z9 shoots 20fps, but to be honest I don't want twenty 60MB files each to manage for every second of burst, and even the more precise autofocus of mirrorless cameras is not a fundamental improvement, since I have the d810 since 2018 and 95% of the shots are perfectly in focus. The truth is that I don't feel the slightest need to change camera to improve my photography, the nikon has always done everything I asked of it perfectly. Also as far as the viewfinder is concerned, people praise the electronic mirrorless viewfinder, but in my opinion there is still a loooong way to go: the optical viewfinder is much more defined and does not have the "cathode ray tube" effect, which for some reason makes the image quality of electronic viewfinders much more unpleasant than that of screens. While I admit the incontrovertible advantage that you can zoom in on the electronic viewfinder, I'm more inclined to call them "two different things", rather than "one better than the other". Even the history of seeing the exposure from the viewfinder in my opinion is irrelevant, you just need to have a little hand in it and even from the optical viewfinder you don't miss a shot. As for the video side, it's the only real field where a mirrorless camera wins hands down. The d810 sucks quite a bit, now it plays with my phone and can't focus well, while the mirrorless ones now have 4k 4:2:2 as a base, which for me would be a dream. Conclusion: I've been wanting to make the leap to mirrorless for two years now, but I'm still hesitating, 3500 euros to get a z8, whose only tangible difference is the video scope, without a real improvement in usability and image quality? Not to mention that now F-mount lenses have depreciated, so it would take little to sell them, while I could buy for little money all the ones I have always wanted. Is it really worth the change? I haven't decided yet...

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.

Pros: All

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Its limits can only come out if you do not know how to use it. Machines of this type are for experienced people. Great for us everything. Detail, quality, ISO tightness (you can push it very well over 6400 with no loss, like the D800 that churns out excellent files up to 3200 and beyond), operating speed, durability over time, etc ... I come from an infinite number of professional machines and I must say that despite the technical improvements there is always the same fantastic feeling.

Pros: Sensor, robustness, file quality

Cons: Static camera, Iso seal

Opinion: I had bought the used D810 now resold for my needs. Shooting in situations with low light the camera behaves badly held Iso to absurd levels I hoped it could be a middle ground between 850 and 780 but I was wrong. The D810 is a slow camera sometimes in low contrast situations fails to find the focus correctly. The ISO seal and the same of the D700 up to 800/1000 behaves well and the files are really crazy with a nice sharpness even if precisely above 1600 Iso goes towards a deterioration. The positive aspects are precisely the dynamic range and sharpness, clarity and recovery of shadows, very workable Raw files perhaps even more than 850 really good for study, interiors and portraiture machine not to be underestimated if known well and used in the right environments without raising too much the ISO, using the focus in the right way will not disappoint you.
