The Nikon D810 is a full-frame DSLR with 36 Megapixels. Announced in June 2014, it jointly replaces the almost two and a half year old D800 and D800e, slotting between the D610 and the flagship D4s.

Very good image quality and much more comfortable grip than the D800. It is also relatively quiet, much quieter than the D800 and even the DX models D7100 and D7000 which I upgraded from. Hard to find anything to complain about except the lack of PASM wheel and GPS and WiFI not built.

Boasting a brand new 36.3-megapixel FX format sensor with no optical low pass filter, the Nikon D810 promises the highest image quality in Nikon's history, at least according to Nikon.

I recently replaced my DX-format D300 with the FX format D810. What an incredible upgrade! Here are some highlights to the D810: 1. The form-factor was immediately more comfortable; the improved handgrip in particular feels more secure and therefore steadier in shooting.

Better Form Factor; Brighter Monitor; Contrast Control; Excellent Resolution; Low Base Iso; Lower High Iso Noise; Quiet Shutter

Larger Image Files

In the spring of 2012, Nikon announced two of the highest-resolution DSLRs ever made – the D800 and D800E. These cameras are practically identical, the only difference being that the effect of the optical low-pass filter is cancelled out in the D800E.

36.3-million-pixel; full-frame sensor; No optical low-pass filter; Fast; accurate 51-point AF system

Large file size at full resolution; Heavy and sizeable build
