The Nikon D800 is a professional grade full-frame digital single-lens reflex camera produced by Nikon. It was officially announced on February 7, 2012 and went on sale in late March 2012[1] for the suggested retail price of $2999.95 in the U.S., £2399 in the UK, and 2892 in the Eurozone.[2] Shortly after the camera went on sale, Nikon's UK subsidiary increased the price of the D800 in that market by £200 to £2599, saying that the original price was due to an "internal systems error". However, Nikon honored the original price for all pre-orders placed before March 24, and added that no price changes would be made in other markets.[3]

Image quality

The Nikon D800 achieved a new 'king' result in the DxOMark sensor rating by toppling the Nikon D4 by 4 points, even though the D800 price is cheaper, being about half the D4 price (better quality-to-price ratio).[4]

D800E

The D800E is a specialized version which uses a new optical anti-aliasing filter with no low pass filter effect (no blurring) to obtain the sharpest images possible.[5] Nikon claims that possible aliasing effects (moiré) can be lessened by software-processing in camera or external programs like Nikon´s Capture NX2. The D800E version will be available in mid April 2012 for a suggested retail price of $3,299.95 in the U.S. and €3171 in the Eurozone.[2] The UK price was initially announced as £2689,[2] but at the same time that Nikon UK announced its price error on the D800, it also increased the price of the D800E to £2899.[3] All pre-orders made prior to March 24 will still be filled at the originally announced price.[3]

Canon 5D Mark III vs Nikon D800 Comparison

Canon 5D Mark III vs Nikon D800 Comparison

www.learningdslrvideo.com I'm really excited to have reviewed both with Canon 5D Mark III and the D800. I have been shooting with both of these camera for awhile and have been taking them both everywhere I go trying them in side by side in different lighting conditions, cloudy, mixed lighting, extreme low light, swimming pools, silhouettes, even time lapses, comparing skin tones, slow motion, landscapes, and pictures styles, and I think I have found some interesting stuff about these cameras that no one else is talking about. I've been wanting to buy a full frame camera for awhile now and I have waiting for the Canon 5D Mark III to come out, but now that Nikon has step up their game on the video side of things, there are two cameras to consider now. Are you an amateur like me wanting to step up to a full frame? In this video comparison I will be talking about this from the amateur level This is by far my most thorough comparison I have ever done since I will be buying one of these cameras. First off, both have pluses and minuses, they are both full frame, have dual card slots SD and CF, 100 view finder coverage, weather sealed body, both have a somewhat similar Continuous Shoot Speed, both have excellent auto focus systems, and both now have new headphone jacks.

Nikon D800 HDSLR Unboxing and Overview

Take an in-depth look inside the box of the Nikon D800 HDSLR ( $2999 MSRP), a 36.3 megapixel, full frame camera that also captures 1080 30p video. Featuring a magnesium-alloy weather-sealed body, dual SD and CF card slots, and advanced autofocus and metering systems, the D800 takes high-resolution to the next level. After the unboxing, digital camera expert Michael J. McNamara shows you many of the other features and controls that will help users capture better photos, and also does a side-by-side comparison between the D800 and the Nikon D800E (priced $300 higher.) The D800E has a modified Optical Low Pass Filter that may help to improve resolution, although at the cost of higher moire patterns in extremely-fine detailed areas. UPDATE: The cameras I show in this video were provided for testing and were not purchased, so as you'll see in the video, the box is missing the manuals and warranty cards.That's typical of review units, however, I received the manual in PDF format.)

Nikon D800 D-Movies - Through The Lens

Nikon D800 D-Movies - Through The Lens

Multi-Area Mode Full HD D-Movie -- Recording Movies Using One Of Two Formats The D800 records movies with superior resolution through optimal information processing acquired from the 36.3-million pixel image sensor. Users can record 1920 × 1080p/30-fps full-HD movies using either the FX-based movie format or the DX-based movie format according to shooting conditions. The FX-based movie format offers a shallow depth-of-field with an emphasis on blur characteristics, while the DX-based movie format brings subjects closer when lenses with short focal lengths are used. The camera is also equipped with a headphone jack and supports precise adjustment of microphone sensitivity. In addition, users can play back movies or view the live recording of movies simultaneously via the camera's monitor and on an external monitor. The D800 also responds to the needs of professionals who require uncompressed movie files; professional users can link the movie live view mode to an external HDMI monitor, as well as record movies simultaneously onto an external device via the HDMI link. Nikon's newest digital SLR camera also features a time-lapse photography function that captures images at a selected interval and then combines the images to create a time-lapse movie. A time-lapse movie shows the changes in a particular scene that occur over time. I AM THE DIRECTOR iam.nikon-asia.com Cinematography by Andrzej Sekula Directed by Cellin Gluck
