Default Nikon D810 hands-on review: “The highest image quality in a Nikon DSLR to date”

Sounds a bit unlikely, given the fact that it has a low pass filter,

I mean, even if the processor is a lot better, the D800E still has the
resolution.


there is no anti-alias filter at all on the d810.

the d800e had a 1d anti-alias filter followed by an unalias-filter to
keep the autofocus compatible with the d800.

since there is just one d810, they no longer have that design
constraint.


Check your attributes. Here you were replying to Sandman, not me. In
your snipping fervor you managed to wipe out the attributes for the OP
& Sandman.


i was replying to both what he said and what you said rather than two
separate posts.

the versus is a clue as to who said what.

Read the review. Their conclusion is current D800/D800E owners will not
gain anything by upgrading. The D810 is a logical move for those moving
from a D700, or who are tired of waiting for a successor to the D300S.


they will get a lot of features by upgrading.


What is a lot?


the list below is a lot. five lines of stuff!

In actual fact there are not too many new features which will really
matter to a current D800/D800E owner. They might well push a D4 owner
into a second body, or a D700 owner to make the upgrade move. I don't
really see it as a target for impatient D300S given the price point,
and the fact the sRAW format is 9MP. It would be nicer to see that at
12-16MP.


it might matter and it might not. that's for each person to decide.

whether any of them are worth it to someone is another story. for some
people it will be and for others it will not.


Yup!

here's a comparison:

0-D800-D800E_Comparison_Sheet_en.pdf

the differences include:
expeed 4, wider iso range both lower as well as higher, raw s, more
picture controls, highlight weighted metering, face detection toggle,
spot white balance, more white balance presets, group area autofocus,
higher frame rate, unlimited continuous shooting, redesigned shutter
and the *long* overdue electronic first curtain.


...but nothing to push the current D800/D800E owners over the edge.


you speak for all d800 owners?

the electronic first curtain by itself is enough to push many people
over the edge, since it's something canon has had for a decade or so
and *extremely* useful.
