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.

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.
