Aperture have now released an update to allow manipulation of D810 Raw files within the software.
Thought aperture had finished, Are they still updating the software for latest DSLR's then and not releasing a new version of aperture in the future?
You should have said. It's in the post
A pair of Df's
Lovely files but I've run into a couple of issues this season.
1. I shoot around the edge of a frame and use outer AF points a lot. The narrow spread of the Df has, as I feared, meant me working around it, rather than with it. The outer points themselves aren't as accurate as the 51 point sensors either.
2. Max shutter speed of 1/4000s. I shoot at f2 for 95% of a wedding, and this summer I've had to stop down more to counter that shutter speed limit. I want to be back at 1/8000s
The D750 was a poss, but the lack of AF-On and the same 1/4000s limit were both deal breakers for me.
I hope they change their minds on this. Love Aperture.

Aperture is dead. Apple have even said so. In the new year "Photos" will be replacing it. From what little people know it's better than iPhoto not as fully featured as Aperture.Aperture have now released an update to allow manipulation of D810 Raw files within the software.
I don't think you bothered to send it. I've gone and ordered one for myself. It's all your fault now that my bank account is worryingly empty.
Agreed on the AF spread being too narrow, I had to switch to a backup D700 when my Df failed during its first wedding and it was like the blinkers were taken off.
Can't understand your second point though, surely you had the same the same limitation on the D3S @ ISO200...?
noCan you forgive me?
I could use lo.3 if I needed to....
Maybe when i put my new Sigma art 50mm on my yet to arrive D810 and I hear that lovely quiet shutter, I'll forgive everyone...Never?
I've just spent 10 or some minutes trawling apples site and press release for the official word on it. Couldn't find it. That said there's enough noes sites reporting it that it's got to be true. The only thing I can guess it was in some press pack from the WWDC news on the new Photos app.Thanks for that, however, I have read that previously. In fact there is a whole thread on this subject on this forum.Lots of forums are quoting Apple are saying this but to my knowledge there has been no official announcement from Apple, or at least I have never found an official Apple link to support this.
Because as I said it's essentially an Apple camera raw update, used by a number of apps including preview and iPhoto.Why bother issuing the D810 update then?
IMO, the good images are the same. And 95+% of the time there's no real difference between the D800 w/ AA and the D810 w/o AA. Some have commented on moire being much more prominent w/ the D810 but I suspect some of that comes from careless resizing/downsampling/display...As someone who spends far too much money on equipment, I'm very manly resisting the temptation to upgrade my D800 to a D810. But for those of you that have scratched that itch, new features aside, can you hand on heart say that the images shot on the 810 are better than anything you would have got on an 800 or 800E ?
Or is it more the case that the 810 allows you a better opportunity of capturing the image (improved AF, FPS etc.), but just looking at the final output, is there actually much to choose between them ?
I am genuinely interested.

Worth noting that the D810 price dropped from £2699 to £2399 last week.
The day after I bought two.
Of course.
Par the course mate :-(
It's a choker when that happens, no doubt it will drop again just after Christmas but if you need it. You need it.
Ain't that the truth. I contacted the shop and they refunded the diff. That was good of them.
I attempted to hire the D810 to see how I felt about it but so far no luck - the 2 companies that I found had them for hire have withdrawn them for the time being and they have been sent back to Nikon to fix the white spot issue!
Not too sure im ready to spend the money on one without actually trying one?
Very prudent, but if your familiar with the Nikon family of DSLRs then it's just like putting on a pair of comfy slippers.
I have the D700 and did have the D3s but that was stolen - Im just trying to decide if I "need" the D4 or D4s or if I will be just as happy/or happier with the D810?
What are you shooting?
Mainly portraits of teens/children, a lot of nature/macro work and some birds (but only in the garden)
