Nikon D810 SLR Camera Test

Nikon D810 is a modern full-frame SLR designed primarily for those photographers who need uncompromisingly high image quality. Landscape, wedding, advertising photography - in these genres, excellent color reproduction and the highest image detail Nikon D810 are especially useful. With a 36-megapixel sensor without a low-pass optical filter, the D810 provides the highest detail among all digital SLRs. The D810 control interface is designed for an experienced photographer, and for beginners it may seem too complicated. But the efficiency of management is at its height thanks to the abundance of individual buttons and selectors, as well as the ability to fine-tune many of them. Together with a relatively high rate of fire and excellent autofocus, this allows the D810 to be used also for sequential shooting. And don't be afraid of high resolution. When shooting in low light, it allows for more effective noise reduction. In addition, you always have the opportunity to take pictures with a lower resolution, including in the S-RAW format. The camera pluses include excellent ergonomics, a convenient optical viewfinder with an exhaustive set of output parameters, a waterproof housing, and work with two flash drives. Separately, I want to note the video mode. Nikon D810 is maximally adapted for professional video shooting: it allows you to use external microphones and headphones, record uncompressed stream from the HDMI output and save videos to a flash drive up to 1080 @ 60p. There is even a special Picture Control profile that gives maximum color correction options for post-processing video - Flat. But any, even the most advanced camera, has its drawbacks. The minuses of the Nikon D810 are the relatively high cost, the possibility in rare cases to encounter the moire effect, and also not too much buffer when shooting in RAW.
