D810?? Need some advice please
May 26, 2017 11:05:18 #
Hey just checking this out to see if it's legit. I've been delving in pretty deep the past year into photography. And last fall I decided to go back to school where I am majoring in digital imaging emerging arts. I'm still working with my Nikon D5200 which I found for myself to be a great starting point. But now I I'm ready for a full frame lens, I've had my eye on the D810 now for a while just saving 🙂 But I would like some feedback if possible on any thoughts on the d810 or any camera that you recommend ( that's not too far off the price of the d810) and I understand the battle between canon and Nikon at this point I've got a lot invested in Nikon lens and feel comfortable with Nikon. Hope to hear some feed back thanks!

While the D810 is a wonderful camera you may want to take a hard look at the D750. Both cameras are FF. You did not say what type of photography that you spend the most time shooting. If landscape is your choice then the D810 would be best. Most other forms of photography the D750 may satisfy your needs.

The D810 is a freaking amazing camera. The quality and depth of my images increased exponentally with the D810

Plus, check the Nikon store, they have refurbished D810 bodies $2,444 with 10% off.

You need to keep in mind the your D5200 uses DX crop sensor lenses, and while they will WORK on the D810 you will be less than satisfied with the results. That 36 MP sensor needs GOOD FX glass to bring out its full potential.
Good luck.

Love my 810!
It's awesome.
The interface is the same as the D200 and 300 I used previously.
Only a few issues with it.
Wish I could choose a smaller raw size as I don't need 36 mp all the time. Those big files take a while to download.
I've tried renting the D750 but the local rental place has them rented all the time. Would like to have a flip-out LCD like my Olympus for high and low angle shots. The D750's layout is probably closer to what you are using now.
As others have said, using the best lenses will make a difference.

I never had any interest in the D8xx line. Instead, I love my D750 - both of them. Look at some comparison sites.
Read comparisons and specs, and decide what features are important to you.

I recently bought the D810 and am still in the learning mode; that YouTube video by Tony Northrup is a really good one. He holds the camera and makes all of the adjustments in real time and it is easy to follow along. Thanks for the link.

Your D810 does have the capability to reduce your raw file size, raw small 12 bit. See pages 81-85 of your manual.

Could this be because it's a great camera? Just sayin'...

I have a D810 and it is an amazing camera. I have used mine for wildlife in action, macro work and birds. I also have the D7000 and there is no comparison in the quality of shots.
As to lenses, you can use vintage film lenses,Dx and Fx. The quality photo even with a dx lens is very good. Some of the best pro photographers call it the best camera built to date. You cannot go wrong.

Currently Nikon is really giving great Rebates on that camera. That said the D820 is just around the corner. That said the D810 should deliver high quality images for years and years and years and years.

The D810 is a very good camera and to get the full potential from the 36MP sensor you need excellent lenses. However just about any lens has better optical performance when used with it. If you are satisfied with the lens on your current camera it will be even better on the D810.
I've use the D810 since its release, but don't take my word for it, check the numbers on DXO Lens.
There are currently very few cameras in the same league. However, its not the best for action or sports. The D500 or D5 are better choices.
