Nikon D800 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) Reviews
| 128 of 132 people found the following review helpful  A clear improvement over the already excellent D700, By This review is from: Nikon D800 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (Electronics) I know that the D800 is not really the replacement model over the D700. Nevertheless, it did replace my old D700 and the D800 is, I believe, better suited for my photographic needs than the D700, i.e., studio, portraits, and landscape.The D700 was and still is an outstanding DSLR. The D800 is of course better, but in a very perceptible way, which was quite a surprise to me. I have done over 5000 shots since my purchase on 24 March. So far, no issues to report: no green cast from the LCD and no problems with the CLS system. Nikon has really outperformed with this new DSLR and the clear improvements are: - Much improved Dynamic Range, which was my main problem since my first DSLR - Better colors straight off the camera: deeper and richer - Better AF in low light - Highly detailed photographs at full res, 100% magnification and also when down-scaling the photos. Let's not forget a proper and useable HD video feature at broadcasting...

I use to shoot Canon during the film days. I tested both the Canon 5D mkIII and the Nikon D800 and here are my results. I tested a 5DmkIII with a 24-70 f2.8 lens and a Nikon D800 (not D800e) with a 24-70 f2.8 lens.High ISO: About the same, except D800 has a lot more detail to work with. In Lightroom, I can save a higher percentage of ISO 6400 shots because the D800 has more detail. Canon seems cleaner initially in Lightroom but when the picture fits into a 24" 1920x1080 monitor or a 64" Samsung plasma TV, the Nikon looks a tad cleaner, noise less noticeable. I think the Canon looks cleaner in Lightroom because it is just a smaller picture. But displaying ISO 6400 shots on a monitor or TV, Nikon looks nicer in general. Both cameras at ISO 12,800 look awful and not recoverable in Lightroom. It might look acceptable as a really small pic but why the heck would you buy an expensive camera to display crappy looking pictures...

Below are my observations and opinions after one month of ownership. Pros: + Resolution: Beautiful detail, just make sure that your lenses are up to the task. + Dynamic Range: Incredible, when shooting in lower ISO's it is near impossible to ruin a photo. Do an internet search for: "fred miranda d800 review Yosemite" to see real life comparisons. + Color: Adobe profiles are horrible, create custom profiles using a MacBeth chart with Adobe DNG profiler and the colors will amaze. + AutoWB: Excellent, much better than the D3/D700. + Low ISO: Having a true 100 ISO is godsend for on-location lighting setups. + High ISO: The D800 and LR4 do an excellent job in controlling noise. Using PS plugins a properly exposed image can print acceptable 6x9's at 12800 ISO (max for D3/D700's is 6400). + LiveView: The live exposure preview is a new and pleasant feature. + Build and...
