Yesterday in Moscow took place official presentation Nikon D800 and Nikon D800E cameras. And in addition to the previously published news, I would like to tell you a little more about the new cameras, as well as show some test shots taken with the Nikon D800.
But let's start with a description of the camera. If we talk about the design of the camera, then there were very few changes compared to the D700: the body was slightly redesigned, the display was slightly enlarged. By the way, replacing the display is not so much about increasing it, but about improving color reproduction. We were able to verify this personally. The camera body is still made of metal. The viewfinder now has 100% frame coverage at x0.7 magnification.
Most of the changes are still hidden inside the magnesium case. First and foremost is the new matrix. Its resolution is immediately increased by 3 times, from 12 megapixels to 36! How this affected the image, we will talk a little later. Representatives of the company claim that the new matrix is designed and manufactured by Nikon. As they say, an autopsy will show ... In a number of previous models, multi-megapixel matrices were from another eminent manufacturer.
Naturally, the new matrix required the use of a new processor. Still - to process so much information! One JPEG file weighs on average about 20 megabytes, a raw NEF file - up to 50 megabytes.
Are you already thinking about buying a new flash drive? Absolutely correct! By the way, the camera works with two flash drives at the same time: CF and SD. The photographer himself can choose how to write files to them: either write to two flash drives in parallel, or write different file formats to different cards. You can switch to another memory card when the main one runs out (which one will be the main one is also determined in the menu).
But here's the problem! I brought a fairly old Class 6 SD memory card with me to the presentation. And after shooting a series of frames, the camera suddenly “stuck”. When the buffer ran out, it took several seconds to record one snapshot. At this time, both the camera and the photographer were inactive. And when I was asked to pass the camera to the following journalist, I spent about 3 minutes waiting until the buffer was completely free, and the flash drive could be removed. Here they are - the disadvantages of high resolution. So when buying memory cards, you will have to splurge on the most expensive models on the market. And don't forget to upgrade your computer!
But since we are talking about continuous shooting, it's time to say that its speed in the Nikon D800 is not so great - up to 4 frames / s. So for event shooting, the camera is suitable only with some assumptions on this parameter. But 4 frames / s is completely honest: with the preservation of the exposure metering and tracking autofocus.
And since we are talking about exposure metering and autofocus, then it's time to talk about the systems that ensure their work. So, a sensor with 91,000 points is responsible for metering, and it is sensitive to color. Thanks to this sensor, it was possible to implement face recognition in the camera even when looking through the viewfinder. Why is this needed? For more correct exposure, white balance and focusing when there are people in the frame.
At the heart of the autofocus system is the Multi-Cam 3500-FX sensor, familiar to us from several previous models. But company representatives emphasized that of the entire autofocus system, only the sensor remained the same. Algorithms of work - new.
The sensor contains 51 focus points. Such a high redundancy is necessary primarily for the operation of tracking autofocus. There are 15 cruciform elements in the sensor. Almost all of them are concentrated in the center of the frame. But the camera can focus without any problems with non-aperture optics - up to f / 8. Let me remind you that even in the Canon EOS 1D X, autofocus is guaranteed to work correctly only up to f / 5.6.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to check the operation of autofocus in practice one hundred percent, I had to be content with static scenes in low light conditions. Autofocus did not cause any complaints.
I was able to ask a few questions about the Nikon D800E twin camera. Let me remind you that it is distinguished by the absence of an anti-moir filter (AA filter). This allows you to get more detail in most scenes, but at the same time increases the risk of moire in the pictures. Nikon representatives openly state that the color reproduction of the camera will not be ideal, and most of the problems will be associated with black, which can turn purple. However, the camera is great for black and white photography. Speaking of using the Nikon D800E for infrared shooting, it was officially announced that the camera would not be suitable for infrared photography.
Representatives of the company also commented on the situation with prices for new items: Nikon D800 should appear on sale at a price of 113,000 rubles per “carcass”, Nikon D800E will cost a little more, about 125,000 rubles. It will include Nikon Capture NX2 software.
The novelty, judging by the digital index, has replaced Nikon camera D700, which was introduced back in the summer of 2008. With the current rate of updating model lines, this can be considered longevity. At the same time, the manufacturer does not position the D800 as a replacement for the D700, however, in parallel with the release of the tested camera, the “seven hundredth” was discontinued.
Outwardly, the D800 almost does not differ from the D700, but inside there are more than enough changes. We list only the main ones. From the sensor in one fell swoop, they began to shoot a resolution three times greater than before - 36.3 megapixels versus 12.1. The moment is very controversial, because even the top D4, which was introduced almost simultaneously with the D800, is half as much - 16.6 megapixels. In addition, it is worth noting the slightly enlarged screen and the viewfinder, which now covers 100% of the field of view, and not 95%, as in the D700.
With the same dimensions, the weight of the novelty has become 174 grams less. It uses a 91k dot RGB sensor, while the D700 has 1005 dots (the same as the cropped D300s). But that's not all, in addition to CF cards (UDMA), the camera can use SD and UHS-I compatible SDHC memory cards, as well as SDXC memory cards, in addition, the D800 became the first certified camera with USB 3.0 support (backwards compatible with older USB bus versions). In general, even serious innovations are many.

⇡ Delivery set
A complete set was provided for testing. commercial sample in box and with all proper options. So, in addition to the camera, the following was found in the box: a battery, a charger, a USB cable, a USB cable holder, a bayonet cover, a screen cover, as well as a disk with additional software, a quick reference guide, and complete guide user.
⇡ Appearance and usability
As already mentioned, the appearance of the camera has changed slightly, and only an experienced user, without looking at the model name, will be able to identify it at a glance. Although the difference in weight is felt without weighing, the camera has become much lighter. It’s hard to notice a slightly enlarged screen right away, but the fact that a video key appeared, and the focus area switch disappeared from the back side and a button for switching to Live View mode with a switch for display display mode (photo and video mode) settled in its place, is immediately noticeable. In addition, another button has appeared in the upper part inside the drive mode selection ring, which, depending on the camera settings, is responsible for changing the parameters of bracketing, multiple exposure, or the HDR dynamic range expansion mode.
Magnesium alloy parts are used in the design of the case, in addition, the case is dust and moisture resistant, so it is quite possible to work with it even in not particularly favorable conditions. Although a reservation needs to be made here: the camera is protected, but through the lens, if it is not protected, it is quite possible to draw in dust and moisture, especially if it is a lens with a variable focal length.
The camera is very comfortable in a medium-sized hand, and thanks to the rubber pads on the front and back, it is easy to hold - the hand does not get tired even with very long use without special straps.
Front view
In front there is a lens mount with a lock key on the right side and two keys similar in appearance - on the left, but the latter do not perform any functions by default, they are programmable. Also on the front is an autofocus assist lamp, a front command dial, a built-in monaural microphone, and separate rubber covers that hide the wired remote control connector and flash sync connector. Why they were placed not on the side, but on the front side, is not clear. Of course, installing them under a single cover with all the other connectors, as in the case of a competitor from Canon, is also not worth it, but still it would be much more convenient from the side.
On the back side is a large 3.2-inch screen. Above the display are the view and delete keys, a viewfinder with eyepiece lock and diopter control dial, a lock button with a metering mode selection ring, and a focus key.
Viewfinder
To the left of the screen are four keys: call the main menu, lock the picture, zoom in and out, and the enter key. To the right of the display are the control dial and the switch with the enter key in the center. The latter is surrounded by a ring for switching focus areas. There is also a speaker, a key for switching to LiveView mode with a switch for real-time viewing modes, and a key for changing the information output mode.
View from above
On top is a pop-up flash with a “shoe” for installing accessories at the base. To the left of the flash there is a drive mode dial equipped with a lock. Within it fit four parameter settings keys using the command dials, they are responsible for choosing the format for saving the image, setting the white balance, sensitivity and bracketing (depending on the camera settings, the last button can also be responsible for setting multiple exposure and HDR mode). To the right of the flash, there is a monochrome segment display with a green backlight, as well as keys for selecting the mode for setting the exposure pair, video recording, introducing exposure shift and a shutter button with the power lever familiar to Nikonists, which in the extreme position is responsible for activating the backlight of the additional display, as well as the simultaneous output information on the main display if this function is activated in the settings.
Bottom view
At the bottom are the battery compartment, tripod mount connector and a rubber plug that hides the battery pack connector.
Left side view
The left side of the camera is also quite busy. There is a flash lock key, a button for selecting its operating mode, as well as a manual and automatic focus switch with a mode and focus area selection key. Right there, under the rubber door, there are connectors for connecting an HDMI cable and an external microphone, an analog audio output and a very specific connector for connecting a USB cable, which requires the installation of a special holder from the kit. It is worth recalling that the camera supports the USB 3.0 standard, so the cable is a little unusual. It is composite, and one part of it is analogous to a conventional microUSB connector, which is used in many cameras and smartphones / phones, so if necessary, you can use a regular cable, but data exchange, regardless of the type of USB bus used on a PC, will be carried out at speeds corresponding to USB 2.0 version.
Right side view
Right side surface also not empty. There is a cover that hides the slots for installing memory cards in SD and CF formats. It is worth paying a little attention to the data distribution system between the cards. Any of the cards can be assigned as the main one. Of course, it is worth assigning a card with more high speed records. Data distribution is possible in three modes: overflow (recording to an additional card is carried out when the main one overflows), reservation (data are duplicated), as well as RAW+JPEG (in this mode, recording is made to the main card in RAW format, and to the additional card in JPEG) . To record video, you can also manually specify the media used, but there are no special requirements for speed, because even an SD Class 6 memory card is enough to record a video stream in 1080p format.

Big perspective
The revolutionary 36.3 megapixel FX (full frame) CMOS sensor uses key technologies to deliver unprecedented levels of detail and tonal range.
The 12-channel data readout interface with 14-bit ADC and high signal-to-noise ratio provides the highest image quality with low noise and wide dynamic range.
Wide ISO sensitivity range: The D800 supports the world's highest ISO range of this resolution DSLR from 100 to 6400, expandable to 25600 equivalent up and 50 equivalent down. The Intelligent Noise Reduction system removes noise without sacrificing detail, giving you maximum shooting flexibility in any light, so images are clear and bright even at high ISO speeds.
Record performance
Thanks to Nikon's next-generation EXPEED 3 image processing engine, the D800 handles intensive calculations with ease without sacrificing professional-grade speed and image quality.
16-bit Image Processing: The new processor delivers richer colors and hues than ever before, and incredibly smooth midtone transitions with the highest level of detail down to pure white, even when shooting in JPEG format.
TV-quality video
For professional video shooters, the D800 offers the ultimate in movie shooting flexibility. The new camera allows you to shoot large-format video at various frame rates.
Frame rate: Full HD (1080p) movies can be shot at 30p, 25p, and 24p, and 720p movies at 60p, 50p, and 25p. The maximum video length is approximately 29 minutes 59 seconds.
Full HD multi-format D-movie - Introduced for the first time on the D4, this mode lets you shoot Full HD movies in FX and DX formats, offering maximum freedom of expression.
High-quality sound: Listening to the wishes of photographers, the D800 is equipped with a sound recording system that will make your movies sound as good as they look. In addition to an input for an external stereo microphone, this model has an output for external headphones, allowing you to adjust the audio settings both before and during video recording. A line input is also provided for linear PCM recording systems.
HDMI pass-through: When you need raw video for professional video editing, the D800 allows you to output uncompressed video in live view to external recorders and monitors. Like the D4, this camera offers the ability to output raw video in a predetermined format at a predetermined frame rate without superimposed overhead, which, however, can be viewed simultaneously with the signal output on the camera's LCD monitor if desired.
Convenient dedicated controls: This camera is equipped with dedicated controls for live view operation. Instead of rotating the command dial, motorized iris can be controlled using dedicated buttons on the front of the camera. The indexing system allows you to mark important shots directly during shooting, so that it is easier to find them during editing.
Advanced Scene Recognition System with 91k pixel RGB sensor
Nikon's improved Scene Recognition System now uses a new 91,000-pixel RGB sensor to provide the highest accuracy in analyzing any scene. This sensor is able to recognize human faces and analyze the color gamut and illumination of the scene with unparalleled accuracy, even through the optical viewfinder.
This level of detail in scene analysis also enhances the accuracy of autofocus, exposure settings, and i-TTL flash control, helping you achieve excellent results when shooting a variety of scenes in a variety of lighting conditions. For example, the efficiency of 3D tracking when shooting small objects has been greatly improved.
Nikon's award-winning Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus system with individual selection or customizable 9, 21, or 51-point metering. The focus sensor algorithms and module have been redesigned to significantly improve sensitivity in low light conditions down to -2 EC (ISO 100, 20°C/68°F). Overall, this camera is close in performance to Nikon's latest flagship camera, the D4. Autofocus is possible even with a total aperture of f/8 (for example, when using a 600mm f/4 AF-S lens with a 2x teleconverter TC-20EIII), with 11 sensors, and with a total aperture of f/5.6 to f/8 — with 15 sensors.
You can now select the AF area mode without taking your eyes off the viewfinder.
Responsiveness and intuitiveness
The Nikon D800 is ready to shoot whenever you are. The layout and functionality of buttons and other controls is thought out so well that they almost immediately become an extension of your hand.
Fast response: Ready to shoot in approx. 0.12 sec., Shutter lag of only approx. 0.042 sec. (same as D4), Continuous shooting at approx. 6 fps in DX crop format with MB-D12 Multi-Purpose Battery Pack (sold separately).
8 cm (3.2") high-precision wide-angle LCD monitor with approx. 921k dots and automatic brightness control: crisp and bright images with a very rich color gamut. The screen brightness is automatically adjusted according to the ambient light. During playback, the image can be enlarged up to 46 times, which can be very useful for checking the accuracy of focus.
Glass prism optical viewfinder with approximately 100% frame coverage and 0.7x magnification (50mm f/1.4 lens, infinity focus, -1.0m-1).
The 2-axis electronic virtual horizon provides precise level control and displays on the LCD monitor (or viewfinder) information about the camera's side and front tilt relative to the horizontal plane.
Improved ergonomics: The layout of buttons and dials has been optimized for maximum comfort. Even the shutter-release button has been improved so you can comfortably keep your index finger on it for extended periods of time. And with a dedicated video button, you'll always be ready for sudden video footage. The body of the camera is covered with high-quality rubberized material, which helps to securely hold it in your hand.
All controls remain in their original places, the owners of the D700 will not have to get used to it again in case of an upgrade. But on the part of the screen it is worth adding something. It is protected by Hardlex glass, which is used in watchmaking as well as in aviation (this is what is in the cockpit on Boeing aircraft). It does not break or scratch, although traditionally it comes with a plastic protective cap.
Shooting mode dial: Clarity and usability have been improved with an optimized layout of the four buttons, the shooting mode dial, and dedicated buttons for adjusting ISO sensitivity, white balance, and image quality on the top of the camera. In addition, the location of the new bracketing button, which is used when working with features such as HDR, has been well thought out.
Direct access to Picture Control functions via a new dedicated button (previously these functions were available through the menu). The Picture Controls allow you to process photos and movies by fine-tuning sharpness, saturation, and hue.
Reliability
Despite being light and compact, the D800 is as durable as Nikon's older professional cameras. It is equipped with reliable protection against moisture and dust, so that you can work in any circumstances.
High-precision, fail-safe shutter: To ensure the strength and accuracy of the shutter, we subjected it to well over 200,000 actuation cycles. The shutter offers shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 30 seconds, is equipped with an intelligent self-diagnosis monitor, and for the first time in history is equipped with a system to reduce power consumption during long periods of operation in the raised position, such as during movie shooting.
Efficient Power Management: Thanks to optimized electrical circuits, the D800 has enough power for approximately 850 photos or approximately 60 minutes of live view video recording. And all this on a single charge of the EN-EL15 lithium-ion battery.
Build Quality: You can rely on the D800 in the studio and on the road. It uses a moisture- and dust-resistant magnesium alloy chassis that weighs approximately 10% less than the D700. The skeleton of the case is made of magnesium alloy (magnesium-aluminum, obviously), and all external elements are plastic, glass and rubber of various densities. There are no simplifications in the design compared to the D700, while the protective properties of the carcass have become even better. Against the background of reduced weight, it looks like a small miracle.
Storage media: two slots for high-speed CF (UDMA 7) and SD (SDXC and UHS-1) cards. The HDMI port in the Nikon D800 (as well as in the flagship Nikon D4) makes it possible not only to view pictures on a TV screen, but also to connect to a video capture device and record to an external source instead of a memory card installed in the camera. In this case, however, the duration limit remains - 29 minutes 59 seconds.
The shutter life has also been increased compared to the Nikon D700, and now it is 200,000 operations. This is a guaranteed resource, but the real one can be much higher. In the previous model, it was 150.000.
It is worth mentioning two more pleasant little things. The first is the change in focus point when changing camera orientation. Let's say if you select the top point in landscape mode and then move the camera to portrait orientation, then the selected point will move and continue to be on top. Otherwise, she would have ended up on the left. However, if desired, this feature can be disabled in the settings.
The second feature is the concern for remote control. Yes, the Nikon D800/D800E does not have an Ethernet port like the D4, but the company is currently developing an app for iPhone and iPad that will allow you to control shooting from your tablet or smartphone. For Windows and Mac OS, Camera Control Pro has been around for a long time, and for professional users this is not news, but new areas of application Apple devices- it's always interesting. At the time of writing, in App Store there was no application, but Nikon says that the release is a matter of a few days. I would venture to suggest that the application will appear by the time the sales of the D800 and D4 start, that is, within a month.
Nikon D800E - An uncompromising alternative
Nikon D800E is a special modification of the D800, created for those who are interested in the absolute maximum detail in their shots.
This camera is equipped with an optical filter without an anti-aliasing filter to achieve the sharpest possible images. It is an ideal tool for photographers who have the ability to control the light, distance and position of the subject so precisely that they can cope with the increased risk of moiré and color mismatch. With the exception of the optical filter, all other functions and features of this modification are the same as those of the D800.
Perhaps you did not know, but such a filter is on the matrix of every SLR camera. It is needed in order to eliminate the moiré effect and does an excellent job with this task. back side medals - reduced sharpness and detail. It seems that the rejection of this filter is becoming a new trend in the segment of expensive photographic equipment. This D800E is expected to be used by a narrow range of professionals for landscape photography or studio macro. As a result, the picture will be sharper and more detailed, so the game is definitely worth the candle. Manufacturers of medium format systems will have to urgently reduce prices, otherwise there is a risk of losing a significant market share.
Means of artistic processing
The D800 provides a wide range of practical photo editing tools for those who do not have enough time to fine-tune their photos after shooting.
Slow Motion: The D800 has evolved from the popular slow motion mode and can save a sequence of photos in movie format. And then the videos can be played at a speed of 24-36,000 times.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is special treatment shooting in which the camera takes one underexposed and one overexposed picture in a single press of the shutter-release button. The difference between frames can be up to 3 EC, which allows you to get different shots with high saturation and rich midtones, or, conversely, it can be very small, in which both frames look quite natural.
The camera is also equipped with a convenient color temperature fine adjustment system for rapid white balance correction. You can adjust both the Live View hue in the monitor and the white balance in pictures so that they match each other. The color temperature can be adjusted manually in 10K increments or in mireds.

Seamless integration with my Picturetown, Nikon's image storage and sharing service.
Conclusions:
Impressions from a short shooting on the D800 are extremely positive. The camera focuses at lightning speed even in the dark, works very quickly and saves pictures. The write speed, of course, depends very much on which memory card you are using. Traditionally, we recommend taking the fastest (no matter CF or SD), although potential owners such a camera is unlikely to come to mind to save on media. At least I really hope so. To be as frank as possible, the Nikon D800 is the best that has appeared in the Nikon lineup over the past 10 years. One could not even dream of a better replacement for the D700. The new model retained all the strengths, acquired many new qualities and at the same time avoided obvious shortcomings.

- Purchase time: August 2016
- Strengths:
1) Resolution and micro-detail, the best I've ever seen. Ability to shoot in TIFF without color loss
2) Rubber RAVs allow you to draw a picture where Kenons or budget crops already have a damaged frame and a terrible mess of pixels. In other words, the D800 forgives blunders in exposure both in highlights and in shadows. The picture can be pulled robustly along the shadows even in jpeg!
3) Exceptional clarity and sharpness of the picture at low ISO (up to 400), then there is a small grainy noise.
4) The richest functionality - a bunch of settings. All that is missing D600-610-7100. Several framing modes with viewfinder dimming, often used with telephoto cameras.
5) Advanced video - a very cool feature to smoothly control the aperture with two buttons under the mount - very convenient and simple. + Video quality is much better than D7100
6) Flawless autofocus performance
7) The camera works very quickly, clearly, without blunts, brakes and glitches. Possibly because of the latest firmware. Everything that they write about brakes and glitches is nonsense, or a raw camera not stitched + a slow memory card.
8) Ergonomics is impeccable - there is protection against dust and moisture. QUALITY-THING - Weak sides: 1) White balance! It behaves insanely in AUTO 0 mode from a sharp change in lighting, from the type of optics - if the old lens turns yellow, then the camera will always distort the WB. A lot of fuss in the editor with color
2) Eats battery quickly - critical for commerce and reporters. Not my case - be patient.
3) Weight - discomfort in the muscles from holding the camera for a long time + it is large for my hand.
4) Weak work at high and limit ISO. The advantage over the latest crops is hardly noticeable (the difference is that this is a full frame, the overall picture is aesthetically pleasing and the detail does not degrade until 2000-3200). Maximum honestly operating ISO 1600-2000. For amateur astrophoto it is permissible to work at 6400-12800 - Used analogues: 5200, 7100
- Comment: The white balance lives its own life - and often unexpectedly gives out just an INSANE color !!! For example - just a clear day, AUTO mode, light backlight, and EVERYTHING at home on the computer, the sky is purple pink and everything else has a dirty green tint. To obtain a more or less reliable color in AUTO, it is necessary to enter the correction A2-M1 for each profile. Doing this for every profile is crazy!! and the setting is not always saved. For complex static scenes, it is better to adjust the WB manually. On the D7100, I didn’t rule BB at all - rarely and only a shade to taste. The D800 just stupidly distorts colors. When the contrast is increased in VIVID, the sky and the shadows are terribly driven into magenta. I didn’t see anything like this among the crops, the sky remained blue-blue to the last. In the natural colors of the grass, it always adds some kind of dirty shade. I bought the camera from my hands with a mileage of 8000 after the firmware in the service, according to the seller. Indeed, the device works very quickly and accurately with any optics, the problem with the greenery of everything and everything is solved, but the problem with incorrect colors in AUTO remains. I rate 5. All the same, this is a landscape-studio machine, and any color can be made. And you don’t need to demand a gorgeous result from her at high ISO - for this you need to take DF, D3, D4. And D800 is best camera for photo artists, prof. landscape painters or architecture. It is permissible to shoot a simple reportage, sports, animals. But in order to exclude soap, stirrer and micro grease 36mp matrix ATTENTION! - shoot in jpeg or tiff at size M, or better S (10mp) - then the picture is flawless pixel-by-pixel sharp and clean at the longest focus. I shoot like this at 1000-1500mm from my hands without moving. In addition, not all optics allow full-size RAVA with D800. I shoot in RAW only landscape with a tripod or in situations where there will be difficult lighting, or for astrophotography. The camera is not for an amateur, and even more so for a beginner - it spreads its legs only in the hands of a pro, and then not immediately - you need to be prepared for this when buying this camera. But if you make friends with her, then no Glooms Two Three will even be worthy of wallowing in the agony of envy of the kenonists. I repeat once again that at low ISO it has no equal in detail and image clarity.

VGK(Experienced amateur photographer with 11-24 years of experience) The date: 02.05.2015 23:19:31 |
- Purchase time: 2013
- Strengths: 36mp, photo flash
- Weak sides: The inconvenience of working through a PC, the inconvenience of focusing through LV, Nikon Nikkor series lenses can only be found in China, it requires especially expensive lenses.
- Used analogues: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
- Comment: Nikon D800E was bought after Canon EOS 5D Mark II. I did not notice a very big difference in comparison with the Mark II, although it seems to be there. The Nikon D800E is certainly very good, but with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, I felt more comfortable and confident. The flash on the Nikon D800E, of course, gives some advantages, but on a camera of such a class as the D800E, it does not make the weather. on the contrary, the camera becomes more vulnerable to the vagaries of the weather. The use of especially expensive optics will probably help to reveal all the features of this camera.

Jora K.(Beginner photographer with 0-3 years of experience) The date: 20.04.2015 12:11:15 |
- Purchase time: 2014
- Strengths: Strong on all sides
- Weak sides: Needs very careful checking before buying. The first copy was defective, replaced with a new one.
- Used analogues: Canon 350D, Nikon D90, although they can only be called similar with a very big stretch, especially 350D /
- Comment: The device is beyond praise. Although the negative experience with the first copy (oil on the matrix and problems with autofocus) greatly spoil the overall picture.

Vladimir Vorontsov(Experienced amateur photographer with 4-10 years of experience) The date: 29.12.2014 20:11:23 |
- Purchase time: March 2014
- Strengths:-Image size;
- Detailing;
-Easy to use (for my taste);
-Low and beautiful noise at high ISO;
-Good auto WB (quite accurate);
-Normal rate of fire;
-Good autofocus in the dark;
-The matrix, with the right approach, gives a beautiful high-quality picture;
-Quality build. - Weak sides:- No, with the right attitude to this device;
-In my situation, there is a limitation - there is not enough ISO over 6400 for reporting in dark places. - Used analogues: First full frame in personal possession. And so, I shot D700, D4.
- Comment: Very long watched, thought, chose. Finally, I decided to stop at the D800. Time has shown that for me it was the right decision. I shoot reportage, sober, weddings, christenings, staging, landscape. Sports shooting no, extreme too (for these purposes, Nikon D4 and D4s are out of competition). The device taught me to take thoughtful shooting, calculate situations, and as a result - more expressive photos. Requires strong hands at shutter speeds below 50 (which is also a useful skill). Allows you to develop artistic skills. For full disclosure requires high-quality optics. You also need high-speed and large memory cards and a good computer with fast RAM. It should be noted that in my practice there has not yet been a situation where a client needs a full-sized picture; I always give resize. But on the other hand, resizing allows you to get good quality even at extreme ISO. For those who suffer with a choice - take it, you will not regret it. The device will take you to the next level. (If you shoot in dark places and have money, then take the D810 better because of ISO 12000). I would be glad if someone helped with the choice.

Rain.(Amateur photographer with 4-10 years of experience) The date: 25.10.2014 13:05:09 |
- Purchase time: October 2014
- Strengths: E version. Detailing, dynamic range, ergonomics, controllability, dust and moisture protection, in general, everything that is inherent in professional cameras.
- Weak sides: They are not here
- Used analogues: Nikon d300s
- Comment: The D800e is an amazing camera! After the D300s, the rate of fire is a little unusual (it is less). Otherwise, I recommend! Personal rating 5+. If possible, take the E-version.

LLIyPIIK(Experienced amateur photographer with experience 0-3 years) The date: 01.10.2014 10:25:38 |
- Purchase time: September 2014
- Strengths: Highest image quality and detail
Functional
Low noise - Weak sides: Bracketing step 1EV
Low shooting speed - Used analogues: D3100, D90, D7000, D7100, D800, 5DM2
- Comment: E - version. The highest quality of photos, excellent detailing, colors, DD and in this regard, no complaints, but only a sea of positive emotions of delight. I did not notice any microlubrication, even in comparison with the D7100, there are generally much less lubrication. B7100 6.25 MP/cm2, compared to B800 with its 4.15 MP/cm2. It makes no sense to compare with anything else that I held in my hands, since this is a completely different level of the camera. The only thing is that it's not very fast, compared to the D7100 I'm used to faster continuous shooting. And bracketing with a step of 1 EV is sometimes too small for me, sometimes it’s not possible to capture the entire DD of the scene being shot with 3 frames, I have to take 5 or more frames, which affects memory. Also, the size of the photos is large, and you need to buy capacitive and powerful means of processing and storing data.
Personal rating 5+, the camera exceeded all my expectations. I advise

Mikhail17(Experienced amateur photographer with 4-10 years of experience) The date: 18.09.2014 10:16:15 |
- Purchase time: June 2014
- Strengths: A convenient and high-quality device - high detailing of pictures, super color reproduction (IMHO - better than in the D700), the settings are very convenient. Also, the built-in flash is a very good detail and often helps out ... The noise is uncritical at high ISO, somehow it is completely unnoticed and I didn’t notice micro-lubrication either ...
- Weak sides: Perhaps the only thing: huge files during recording and processing require computer speed ... I would like the raw (s) to be smaller ...
- Used analogues: Canon 5D, Nikon D700.
- Comment: The camera did not disappoint, very sharp focus and wonderful colors, capacious batteries. And, of course, you need to get used to this camera in order to appreciate it.
