This is terrible news for those of us whose past GAS attacks have led to a large collection of DX lenses and who were hoping the next "big" Nikon camera announcement would be for the successor to the D300S.

Just back from 10 days' hiking and photog'ing in Wyoming's Snowy Mtns. I carried only a P7700, used the articulable screen a lot, and loved it. I usually wait several months for the bugs in a new model to get worked out before I consider buying--but this time? FX, 24MP, fully articulable screen?! Whoaahh...

Are you talking about a wireless shutter remote or something that will take infrared photos?

Shutter remote.

Usually when people speak of "wireless" they mean ones that use RF. Those require screwing into the same shutter release port I am addressing.

The infrared remotes are built into cameras like the D3200 and D5xxx. They are always there and ready to go, and these Nikon cameras have the ports both front and back. So you just pick up the remote, set the release mode to remote, and fire when needed. No need to hook up a cable or lug around a thing connected to your camera. I used to keep the little release in its supplied holder on my camera strap. Also no searching around for where you last put the cable or wireless.

The probably cost Nikon about 50 cents to include. I can't imagine why they leave it off the D8xx. I don't know if they leave it off the D6xx. My D7000 also had it.

Thanks. Now I understand what you are talking about. I have the wireless remote for my D7000 and love it. My D800 does have the screw in shutter release and you are right. It can be a pain in the butt to screw it in. Thanks.

David, will you adopt me?

Hope they do fully articulated screen like the D5xxx instead of just tilting. It is more useful for things like selfies and using on a telescope. The tilting screen is a help for low and high angle shots. I have one of those on my Sony NEX-7 and don't use it nearly as much as I used the articulating one on my D5100.

IF they include infrared trigger I'll have a GAS attack. The thing I hate most about my D800 is that it has no infrared trigger and the screw-in external trigger is the worst design I have seen in a long time. You can't get your fingers around the nut to screw a release into it because the lens is in the way. STUPID! Plus, even if you could, it is greatly inconvenient to have to screw something in each time you want to use it vs. just grabbing the remote and firing away.

TOTALLY agree with that.... I absolutely love the ML-L3 or whatever they called it. Almost gave up on the D800 because of that. I tried the two part wireless remote for it, but it was clumsy and expensive.

Now that I have an 810, however, I am so in love with the IQ, I'm willing to deal with the stupid cable, which I've owned since my D2X.

Just read that Nikon will soon introduce a new camera named D750. An articulation screen, built in wifi, 24 mp. It will be FX sitting between the D610 and D810. Interesting.


I wonder if there is really a market for a third camera between the D610 and D810. It seems would take aware sales from both ends. I also wonder if it will actually be a replacement for the D6xx series

I agree, but I use my IPod for listening to tunes when I ride my motorcycle. It's small and holds a lot of music. But otherwise..................

After the problems with the 600, and now the 810, I think I will wait before putting down my cash for this one.

I'll also wait. It seems Nikon quality control is on holidays.

I think there will be a draw for a full frame with an articulating screen.

The problems are vastly different. Oil spots and firmware problems are in different ballfields. Nikon jumped on the 810 problem right away. They are paying for shipping both ways. I spoke with their tech department and they were extremely helpful. It bothered me just a little but what use I have had has been great. I just want them to fix it and send it back.

Do either of the D800e or D810 have a IR Remote Release???
