What are the live view improvements?
I think that there is a split focus function
What are the live view improvements?
Has nobody else noticed base ISO of 64?
Trouble is that Nikon hyped the D800 as having the exact same AF system as the D4 when in reality its not as good as the D300There will be so many possibilities soon - a "mix and match" type situation.
At around £2k to £2.5k it has to be the best value around? …. excepting any initial "teething" problems
The D810 is now shaping up to be a serious contender versus the D4S …….. add a grip, presumably the Nikon one will be up to £200 and you are probably 90% there ………. I wonder what they will do to "improve" the D4S?
used (and new) D800 prices have been falling …….. wonder what this will do to prices of the D800? … a low clicks D800 will sell for half the retail price of the D810 - (if you are lucky)
What are the live view improvements?
Hmm, still not seeing anything that makes me want to upgrade from the D700. I'll wait this one out and see what comes next.
looking good for you nikon shooters... The D810 is in fact a direct minor upgrade of D800E, not the regular D800. Obviously it replaces both. Hopefully the higher ISO will look a bit better.
I'm wondering what exactly you're waiting for. It may not be a must have upgrade if you already own a D800, but surely this now makes it tempting for D700 owners? I'm genuinely curious... what puts you off?
I'd upgrade from my D800 if you didn't have to wait for months... and months... and months.... before you get tethering support in Lightroom!
There is a workaround where you convert the NEF's to DNG's and then import into LR... not ideal though of course!You should really wait for a few months to let the price settle any way... by which time there will be. Surely there also no RAW support for it in LR anyway yet? Another reason why I'd never rush out and buy one right away.

I'm more interested in the ISO 64 and I'm looking forward to seeing some stunning landscapes with it..
One small thing can anyone tell me why it has a CF slot and a SD slot, rather that two CF or two SD slots?
There seems to a lot of confusing on the zebra striping.. is it not only for exposure and not AF. As I've seen some posts going on about it for AF.
Ken Cockwell said:The Nikon D810 is the world's best for these things because it has such extremely high image quality that it exceeds not just every other full-frame DSLR ever made, it also replaces medium-format digital cameras that cost as much as a new Mercedes.
Ken Cockwell said:Now the D810 is 25% faster and may also be used for sports, whoo hoo! In fact, why bother with the D4s when you can get the D4s' AF performance with far higher resolution for half the price in the D810? Exactly!
Ken Cockwell said:Nikon claims a new sensor to get the higher speed, but I suspect it's really only faster processors to chew on all that data.
It's obvious he's never even seen one... just copying and pasting from other sources and adding his usual hyperbole and crap. How is this a review? Idiot.
He's got you to bite & talk about him. Hasn't he? which is exactly why he posts the stuff he does
Oh undoubtedly. He's an unstoppable force now though. However... beginners hang on hs every word, and there are a great many beginners in here. While moaning of Facebook about him is pointless... I feel we have a duty to point out the contradictory and duplicitous nature of the Cockster to newbies. Anyone who deliberately misleads to generate page hits should be pointed out to beginners.... just as you'd warn kids against strangers giving sweeties
Nikon have (it seems) confirmed that they will not be adding the D810 to the list of cameras supported by Capture NX2.
What a stupid move.
I believe that is because they have a new release of the software?
I've never checked, but out of interest, how much does a D800E go for used these days?
