The D810 is the full-frame D-SLR that provides all the features that cinematographers need. It is another top notch camera from Nikon.

Nikon D810 review
Nikon's D800 and D800E caused great excitement when they were first announced in February 2012 largely because of their groundbreaking 36 million pixel count. These two full-frame DSLR cameras are identical apart from the fact that the D800E's sensor has a weaker anti-aliasing (AA) or optical...
Nikon D810 DSLR Review
One outing with the new Nikon D810 pro digital SLR convinced me that this camera is not only thoughtfully designed, a good fit, and easy to work with right out of the box, but that it's also a solid performer that's beautifully crafted. It has looks, smarts, and savvy, without being pretentious.
Nikon D810 Filmmaker's Kit Review
The Nikon D810 is a great camera. It is so, so good. Stills and video are solid. And on the video side, the included Ninja 2 recorder gets the most out of the camera. Aside from a few personal complaints regarding the controls of the Nikon D810, which is probably only because I am a Canon shooter, I...
Nikon D810 review
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.
Nikon D810 Review
If you're serious about image quality, especially for large prints, gallery showings and shooting for major publications like Arizona Highways (America's premier journal of the finest contemporary Southwestern photography), the new Nikon D810 replaces every Nikon that has come before it.
Nikon D810 Review
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...
All tests were taken using a SanDisk Class 10, 16 GB SDHC memory card, Program Mode, Flash off, Review on, ISO Auto and all other settings at the factory defaults unless noted otherwise.
- Brilliant image quality across JPEG
- RAW
- and TIFF formats
- Full frame FX image sensor
- Sharper detail than many other DSLRs because Nikon removed anti-aliasing filter
- Works fast in viewfinder mode
- Very quiet operation
- 36-plus-megapixels of resolution allows for cropping of images when required,...
- Heavy camera
- especially if you make use of a telephoto lens
- Photo files are extremely large in terms of storage space
- even JPEG
- High price tag
- No Wi-Fi
- no GPS
- no articulated LCD
- no touch screen LCD
- Maximum burst rate of 5 fps at full resolution could be a little better for pro-level sports...
Full frame cameras are a big decision to make. For some photographers, it's almost as difficult to decide as swearing commitment for an arranged marriage. Once you have known or used a full frame sensor camera, you would readily find limits of your DX format snapper.
- Amazing image quality
- Low noise on high ISO
- High resolution
- dynamic range
- Long battery life
- AF on videos isn't very fine
- Expensive
Every superb NIKKOR lens tells a new story, from fast primes to versatile telephoto zooms. With optional Nikon Speedlights, lighting is as powerful and comprehensive as you want it to be, while pro-grade Wi-Fi® transmitters and remote controls streamline workflow in the studio or at a remote...
Last month, I took the Nikon D810 out on the Sierra High Route - one of the toughest adventures around. It got dirty, wet, and constantly banged around. Here's how it performed. Three years ago, my roommate bought a D800E.
