Nikon D810 Pro Reviews

The Nikon D810 is one of the best-rounded DSLRs we've ever tested, and as a camera that we've lived and worked with for almost two years, we're confident that it will remain relevant - and useful - for many years to come. The D810 offers medium format-esque dynamic range at ISO 64, and more than enough resolution for almost any application. Its well thought-out ergonomics, build and speed make it as versatile in the field as in the studio. We do have some reservations - mirror and shutter shock can still be an issue in some situations, particularly in combination with VR lenses, and we wish focus was more reliable in low light - but these do not detract unduly from the quality of the total package.

The Nikon D810 is a high-resolution monster with incredible image quality and performance. It's expensive, but earns Editors' Choice honors.

The Nikon D810 updates the already excellent Nikon D800 and D800E with improved image quality and enhanced features making it the best DSLR currently available. To get the best results, as with the D800 and D800E, you will need to use the best lenses available, and Nikon has produced a list of recommended lenses for these cameras. Build quality is very good, and the camera gives excellent handling with a solid metal body and weather sealing the camera should be suitable for almost any landscape or outdoors project. The camera delivers impressive image quality with improvements in noise performance, as well as an extended ISO range. Video quality has been improved, and not only does the camera offer additional colour settings for photography (including a new clarity setting), the D810 also offers advanced video colour settings for those that want to get the highest quality and dynamic range from video. With a tried and tested body design inherited from the D800/E, the camera delivers high image quality at an improved shooting speed, and is our "Editor's Choice".
