:ROTFL: And that's very hard to do!(I make Guy look like a gear nun)
\It's the new top dog.
Hi,After reading the DxO tests, it makes a person realize again just how revolutionary the first D800 was. Over 2 years later, which in the tech world is a huge gap, the new sensor (still not even sure if it's from Sony, but assume it is), is just a few points beyond the scores of the original D800.
This to me shows that the D800 has a great value still.
From the quick tests I did, sadly the higher iso ranges of the D810, showed no real improvements over the D800e, and the DxO scores show that out also. I had hoped this would not be the case.
64 is very clean, but to me so is iso 100 on the D800e.
Where the D810 may still shine is the are in the functional improvements:
1. ability to use EFC
2. AF improvements
3. Much improved Live View
4. Much improved post shot image preview
5. Better ergonomics (mainly in the grip)
Mine most likely will go back in exchange for a D610 and a store credit.
