Nikon D810

Excellent camera, super fast delivery. A five star experience. This camera rocks. Excellent image quality. It may be a model that has been out for a while, but great image quality I'd great image quality. I used to own a Nikon D800e, but I sold it a couple of years ago because I was tired of it and wanted a new experience, but I didn't want to spend $3000 again for a top camera. I bought a D5500 and had fun with it for over a year. I'm a wide angle fan and missed a full-frame camera. When I saw I could get a new D810 here for a little over $1600,I jumped for it. I don't know if the D810 is considered a small upgrade or a major improvement over the D800/e or not but I noticed immediately that the ergonomics are better with a deeper grip. I do exposure bracketting and had to take five shots to get to a +-2 exposures, only three now. Saves a lot of hard drive space. Low light/high ISO performance is a huge improverment. The D850 seems to be a great camera, too, but being $1200 more than what you can get a new D810 for, I am glad I bought my D810. Also, I purchased a book for the D810 because it has a slew of features.Read full review

Great Camera Combo Secret In year 2020 this is a great camera secret. Everyone has gone to mirrorless, so that leaves Nikon and their old DSLR F lens gathering dust. You can pick these up for cheap now. Two reasons, Nikon 55mm f2.8 macro is probably the best lens Nikon has. KenRockwell said that on his website, and is true. See the 100% crop of the eye on the dog. That is as sharp as you are going to get on this side of a Zeiss lens. Second reason, D810 has a base ISO64. All other cameras has base ISO of typically 100 or 200. This means you get excellent image quality and wide dynamic range. Assume you have enough light to use ISO60. Most of the time you do. The picture of the dog was shot at ISO64 in the evening with a flash.

Very happy, co far - still learning. Still learning to use the added features, upgrading from a D-90, but this is a big difference in capabilities . As for the D810 that was shipped, I believe it was very fairly represented, and am pleased with the "like-new" condition of the camera. So far no surprises, except positive ones. The camera body is pretty close to immaculate, and the D810 is a far bigger step uo in capabilities than I had thought, for studio-like tripod shots of valuables and documents. Can't wait to get it outside, and do some non=studio, really life natural and action stuff. Can't believe the difference the full frame format makes!
