Oh sod it -- Nikon D810

Yes
After my failed D750 went back and was refunded (see another thread) I am now considering my options.

All the time I was thinking about the D750, I was also thinking about the Nikon Df. A further review of my desire for the Df has shown me that I would be buying the camera for it's looks and that's one hell of a price hike for a few metal dials so that leaves me at the D750.


However...

...if I was willing initially to pay over £2000 for the Nikon Df (UK official import, no greys) then why not go the whole hog and get the Nikon D810? I have looked at many, many reviews of the two camera and one thing stands out as a real positive for the 810 and that is when using it in DX mode. I like to shoot wide angle but I do have a very nice 180mm F2.8 which in DX is a very useful 270mm. Now comparing the D750 and the D810 with their different resolutions I find that on DX using my telephoto lens I get a 15mp picture on the 810 but only a 9mp on the 750 and as I print most of my pictures on A3+ any long-range wildlife pictures are going to look so much better especially as the 810 has no AA filter.

The price difference in the UK between the D750 and the D810 is about £600 or the amount I might pay for a reasonable quality 300mm lens which with the D810 I wouldn't need.

Decisions, decisiions.
 
No, I have already ruled out the Df, it is no longer being considered. Its a straight choice between the D750 and the D810 now.

Bit long winded Matt - but I would agree. Since the funds appear to be in place to cover the (excessive IMO) cost of the Df, a D810 is easily covered and is in pretty much every respect a better option, especially for the OP. Since his wants/needs seem to be better cropability rather than high frame rates, the 810 is a better option than the 750 and has plenty of pixies available for his WA shots (? landscapes) as well.

I'm not sure about your commitment here, are you saying I should buy the 810?

Only kidding. I think I will.
 
OK, I did.

I went to London Camera Exchange but unfortunately didn't have an old SLR I could trade in to get £300 off. However they did their best for me and sold me the cheapest qualifying camera they had in the shop then accepted back as trade-in for the D810 so I managed to save £230 off the price. They suggested that I go to Cash Converters down the road and buy the cheapest thing they had but I didn't have the time. They were trying to find a way wherein I didn't pay anything but apparently Nikon are quite strict over it this time. Still, it's two hundred and thirty quid I didn't spend that I thought I would.

I did think about going the Panamoz route but despite everyone's positive stories the fact that it would have been a lot of money to spend on a camera that Nikon wouldn't touch if it went wrong (so they say on their website) I decided against it. Mind you I got the D810 for the price of a Df so I'm very pleased.

Now to work through the manual which is an inch thick!

Actually they will, it just goes a different route under the suppliers warranty.
 
Nevertheless, 'tis done now and like all things I buy I must not look it up on t'internet for at least two years so I don't find the price dropped three days later! :)
 
Enjoy it, Martin. I know Chris (Wilson) loves his.

Mind you I got the D810 for the price of a Df so I'm very pleased.

Now to work through the manual which is an inch thick!
I believe in supporting your local dealers, at least you can pop in for a bit of advice or to look at the camera you fancy next, my local shop does give very good prices compared to the larger dealers. Well done I say.

I agree with this if you have a good local independent. We just have massive profiteering chains which I can't be arsed supporting.
 
I have used London Camera Exchange in Plymouth for this D810 and my previous D7000 and on both occasions the prices matched the internets' best and on both occasions the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledegable. TBH if I lived nearer Plymouth I would probably buy most of my stuff from them.
