Holy thread revival! The d800 is still a beast of a camera - it hasn't suddenly got bad because of the d810/d750/d5 releases!!

Another great shot. She is quite the model!
Good point about the 800 still being a great camera though.
It seems whenever a new camera is released owners of the previous model seem to start finding all sorts of weaknesses with it which means they have to upgrade !
I have been guilty of this too.
But, I have been upgrading my lenses, and can't afford a new body for another month or 2. Luckily, my D700 is still a fantastic bit of kit. It'll do until I get my next body! (D810)

A lot of small, incremental improvements... new sensor, faster processor, wider ISO range, RAW S format, group AF, highlight weighted metering, faster frame rates, front shutter curtain, built in stereo microphone, bigger monitor, longer battery life.... probably a few other minor tweaks that I've missed.... nothing very dramatic on its own but probably quite a lot when you add it all up. Nothing wrong with the D800 though, still a great camera!

Nope. That's a choice I made! See my other pics.

I use the 16-35 now. I'm happy with it.

Quite a few of my images you see are taken with it. Pop into my blog at www.sftphotography.co.uk/blog and you'll see images taken with it. All of them at full res look great too

Lols.
Yeah, I can't find the thread talking about head cropping, which is what I usually paste in, to stop the long discussions as to why the head is cropped!!
I just accept that some people don't like it!

I have a 16-35 f4 vr. Very happy with it. Only unhappy that I don't get out enough to use it! Takes (standard) filters too, rather than the bulbous ones.
I also have a samyang 14mm f2.8, mainly for when we go camping to do night stuff!

Are you considering a d800 too [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I'm always considering a D810.
For landscape and portraits the d800 would more than suit you. I guess it's the better af of the d810 that you want?

And so would I be!! The only question is, how much better is the d810 than a second hand d800 and a lens, given they'd be similar cost wise!

Not really an issue with landscapes and i never noticed anything with my D7100
Would still rather go D810 for the better AF and improved ISO.
Not even sure why we're even having this conversation. I'm very happy with my 750.

The AF and ISO are slightly better, I didn't due to the cost differential between a low count d800 and d810 and my usage pattern.
I had a D610, same res as the D750. I just wouldn't want a 24mp when you can have that super high res sensor.
Sell the 7100 and 750 and get d810. Its just such a good camera

I no longer have the D7100.
I'm not changing yet. Having shelled out on a 14mm, 150-600 and a new tripod head in the last month, the difference I'd need to add to step up to a D810 is around £650 and i just can't justify the expense right now.
And being someone who doesn't print their shots, i probably wouldn't see a massive improvement.

Minimal due to the AA filter.
My father has a D810, I have a D800E, no difference in IQ for landscapes - you can pick a mint D800E for £1100 or cheaper, saving £'s.

I'm in the same boat/quandary Macvisual - I'd be happy with an 800/e but the prices at best are only £400 away from a new grey 810. But I'd rather not spend the extra £400. But I'd rather have a new one for 'just' another £400. It's tricky!!

Gregg;
M same thoughts entirely, second hand 800E's on eBay/photographic dealers for around £1200/£1300, a few hundred ££ more you'd have a new/boxed 810 with warranty.

Yes Gregg;
My exact same thoughts entirely, there's second hand 800E's on the likes of eBay/photographic dealers for around £1200/£1300 (and much more), for a few hundred ££ more you'd have a new/boxed 810 with full warranty.
You could buy the sigma 85 in the classifieds and the d800e.....
Pay monkeys…..get Peanuts(10-366) by Shaheed Rahman, on FlickrThat said I know the dilemma and I'd probably talk myself into the d810!!
Either way you'll get an amazing camera!
