I upgraded to a D810 from a D200 so was used to the general layout and weight of such a camera. Realising that I'd reached the end of my time with the D200 I considered two other models in the Nikon range and discounted them for the following reasons:- D600 - didn't like the idea of having to lose...

Build Quality; Ergonomics; Great Features; Great Picture Quality

No Hdmi Cable

Quality of photographs

Would prefer second memory card space to be for an up to date memory card

I bought this a week ago and have not had a chance to use it yet. The box did not contain a manual which should have been in the box, since the box states that it is part of the box.

Nikon's D810 is the pinnacle of image quality and resolution. It lacks connectivity and the creative shooting modes of its peers but delivers an unparalleled level of detail, color accuracy and dynamic range.

A high-resolution sensor produces detailed and clear images when cropped or enlarged

This camera lacks additional features

When it was released, the Nikon D810 might not, on the face of it, have looked like a terribly exciting camera. But if the D810 seemed unexciting at a casual glance, it's because its key selling points didn't necessarily jump out. The D800 and D800E set a high bar for 'wow!

There's not a lot you can do to improve something that's already great to begin with. It's a double-edged sword for Nikon; on one hand they're already off to great start and would only have to make minor refinements for the D810, on the other hand, they can only do so much with the next iteration...

The D810 is an outstanding pro-level DSLR with the highest resolution on the market, extremely impressive autofocus capability, a long battery life, a fast processing engine, and a wide range of other features for both stills and video.

The Nikon D810 was announced on June 26, 2014 replacing the D800 and D800E models. Its release followed on-going reports of focus alignment problems with the D800/D800E, which emerged within a couple of months of their release.

I bought this camera as a replacement to the D4 I was using in my previous employment. That was a great camera - consistent, great ergonomics, predictable image quality, heavy! Having tried a D800 a few years back I found the sharpness unuseable but the D810 is excellent in this regard.

It almost seems redundant to say it on a camera that costs more than two grand, but the photographic quality of the D810 is something very special. The move from a "consumer" DSLR up to a full-frame camera brings with it a new look.
