Nikon D810 Review - The Nikon D810 is the manufacturer's latest full frame DSLR, arriving with the promise of the best image quality of any Nikon DSLR ever.

Loss of low pass filter means great detail capture; High resolution; Solid build quality

Pretty bulky and quite heavy; Premium quality comes at a premium price

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 SLR cameras are identical apart from the fact that the D800E's sensor has a weaker anti-aliasing (AA) or optical...

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.

The 36.3 megapixel D810 targets both pro photographers needing that maximum resolution for potentially huge enlargements, as well as aspirational advanced photographers who will appreciate a lower price point than the flagship Nikon D4S .

Rock solid construction; Heavyweight features; 36MP resolution sensor

Weight; Nose smudges on LCD

The Nikon D810 is a slam-dunk Editors' Choice. Our only serious knock is the price – $5,000 total if you add quality glass – which is serious money and places the DSLR in rarefied company. We can easily see pros and imaging artists taking the plunge.

Superb stills – as rich as 35mm film; High-quality Full HD movies; Excellent build and feel

Expensive; Heavy; bulky; No built-in Wi-Fi

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 review: this Nikon D800 replacement offers a new sensor and Nikon claims it boasts the best image quality in the company's history. We put it to the test. The Nikon D810 comes as the direct replacement to the Nikon D800 and D800E.

Nikon polishes up another great full-frame camera with the new D810.

I recently lost my first 810 to salt water. So....since the 850 is not immediately available AND it would cost much more when you consider one would need new media cards, a new L bracket, a card reader, etc....getting another beautiful 810 was a good choice for me.

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
