Thanks! I shoot mostly wildlife, but I do have a big bunch of images shot with a D800 as well. You may want to check out my Flickr feed. it's a mix of a lot of cameras, but the most recent ones are D800, D810 and Sony RX10M4.

I bought a new D810 at the end of 2017 when it was being sold with a free battery grip and used it for about a year. I was never that happy with the photos it shot versus the Nikon Df camera I also have. I was annoyed that the D810 didn't auto-focus as quickly or accurately as the Df. So when the D850 was introduced in 2017, I waited for Nikon USA to sell a refurbished one on their web site, and I bought one in late 2018. I've been using it for over a year and I love it. I encourage you to re-think the D810 and find a nice pre-owned or refurbished D850. The D850 is considerably better overall -- and as a "legendary Nikon DSLR" -- should command a higher re-sale price when you decide to sell. Of course, you can't go wrong with a Nikon Df if you want a slightly smaller DSLR that looks like an old Nikon F film camera and has lots of knobs! Good luck and have fun shopping and shooting!

Grandpaw, if you want to see pics taken with a D810, look at Ken Rockwell's review of the D810, he took some great looking photo's.

Look at Pbase Camera Data Base and Museum Then select Nikon and then drop to, I believe, 2014 for the D810. There is a whole pile of images taken with the D810 to look at by various photographers. The site is an interesting and fun one to peruse images taken by different cameras including older film cameras.

I'll have to confess to some surprise at the question and some of the answers here. I've been shooting a D810 for almost three years, and a D850 for almost two years, many times using them side by side. These are both outstanding cameras, with over 14 stops of dynamic range possible, excellent and very similar high ISO/low light performance, and extremely flexible and wide ranging shooting controls. The D850 offers some new operating features and slightly improved dynamic range, but in general, both of these cameras are what I would call "apex models," with very few capability limitations. There is almost no practical difference in images produced by the two camera, except in extreme situations.

That said, I think it is not particularly wise to make any critical judgments or decisions about any camera model's capability solely by looking at images posted online. These images will almost always have extremely limited resolution (to match screen display limitations), and will either have reduced or distorted color range, again due to display limitations.

In addition, there is always a likelihood that the posted images were made directly from JPEGs produced by the camera. Nikon cameras are notorious for being shipped with JPEG picture control defaults that produce images that are mediocre, at best. This is certainly true of every Nikon model that I have experience with "straight out of the box." It is mandatory to understand and manage picture control choices if JPEG images are to be used. Sharpness, contrast, and saturation are guaranteed to be suboptimal in cameras shooting with default values.

Neither a D810 nor a D850 nor a ???? will magically solve photographic shortcomings any more than will any other camera. All require studying their capabilities, understanding the implications of the application of various features and capabilities, and thoughtfully applying the choices they present to each photographic situation. With a little study and practice, they will yield the results that you expect.

I have mentioned in another post that a estate sale that is coming up has Nikon D810 and several lenses that I am interested in if I can get a good price on them and that is why I am checking reviews and photos taken to make sure I want to try and get this camera and or lenses.
I went to a pre sale when they were setting up and got three SB900 flashes light stands, octobox with stand and "L" bracket and several other things all for $150. I am hoping for some great deals on the camera and lenses when the sale eventually gets rescheduled after the current conditions ease up.
