Nikon D800 / D800E DSLR Review

36.3 MP - 4FPS - Full Frame (FX)

The Nikon D800 (and nearly identical D800E) is one of the very best DSLR cameras for almost any setting (nature, landscape, outdoor and even sports photography). The only real competitor to the Nikon D800 is Canon's 5D Mark 3 in terms of specs and performance. The D800 is the much anticipated upgrade of it's predecessor - the Nikon D700 - but offers photographers the video and resolution capability that the Nikon D700 simply couldn't, which makes the Nikon D800 a viable option for professional photographers.

The D800 contains the mega-sized 36.3 million pixel sensor which allows photographers to blow up pictures to extra large fine art prints (or poster prints) if they so desire without worrying about losing detail. In fact, the resolution of the D800 more than doubles that of Nikon's iconic D4 which currently retails around $6000, and has become a standard among many professionals.

The Nikon D800 also offers some of the sharpest images around and amazing pictures at sky-high ISO levels. Its ISO range is 100-6400 natively, and expandable up to 25,600. This means that the Nikon D800 can take great pictures in low light and allow photographers an incredibly diverse option of venues in which they can shoot with confidence regardless of lighting conditions. No more worrying about having to put the camera away after the sun goes down with this bad boy. With the Nikon D800 you will enjoy taking pictures inside where light might be scarce and well after dark for some incredible low-light and long exposure photography.
