​For those still hesitating between the D800 and the D800E and are willing to wait, it appears that Nikon is about to solve this dilemma through a patent that they just filed. It's an electronically controlled optical low-pass filter which would enable us to turn the low-pass filter on and off...

This is a photo taken from a beach on an island. It's a long exposure shot taken at 19h or so. Exif Aperture: f/8 Exposure: Bulb... no idea of actual time exposed Focal: 24mm Camera: D800 Lens: Nikkor 24mm f/3.5 PC-E Graduated filter on.

More than 2000 rhinos have been killed since 2010, poached for their horn for the Asian market (mainly China and Vietnam) where the powdered horn is believed to have medical therapeutic properties. These claimed properties are not backed by any scientific evidence. I took this photograph of a...

Khartoum, Sudan. I took a snapshot of the University's entrance to show the scorching temperature of the day. 52 degree Celsius = 125.6 degree Fahrenheit.

This photo was taken in the Mpumalanga province in South Africa. The Three Rondavels as it is called are situated in the Blyde River Canyon. I used a Nikon D800, a 24-70mm f/2.8, a graduated filter, a sturdy tripod and a remote cable for the shutter release. Aperture: f/8 Shutter speed...

I haven't done this for quite a while. This photo was taken in the Kruger National Park, close to Satara, in South Africa. This baboon was just sitting in the bush contemplating on the congress of fellow baboons nearby. I used a Nikon D800, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR2 lens. Focal was at 200mm...

This is perhaps the only real test I've seen so far that attempts to clarify all these talks regarding the D800 being on par with digital Medium Format cameras: D800 vs Medium Format with Roth and Ramberg - YouTube All we can say though is that the D800 is certainly the closest 35mm DSLR to...

Ok, below some photos from a Fashion Week. The D800 appears more and more to be an uncompromising camera, meaning that in low-light any bad settings from the photographer or wrong technique could lead into a bad shot. Coming from the D700, I find the D800 to be less versatile, it requires a...

Here's an interesting field test of the D800, which you may pay particular attention to the author's experience with regards to diffraction at small apertures and lens choices. Natural Art Images: Brad Hill: Field Tests: The Nikon D800

I'm not really good at shooting motorsport, but here's a Hypermotard coming down Wesbank at the Kyalami track in South Africa.

I posted this photograph in another thread, but this time I have done a bit of post-processing. Please let me know if this photo still has a natural feel to it, or if it looks artificial. I think it is sometimes interesting to have someone else's opinion after processing an image with...

Guys thanks for the comments, and a lot of praises should go to this amazing camera. I feel that the D800 has huge potential for studio (controlled environment) and landscape work. Below is the same type of settings to the 1st photo I uploaded above, with the same model. This time I applied a...

These photos were taken with my new D800 today, sorry DW you're gonna hate me even more. These photos were not edited at all in post-processing from the RAW file taken, they were resized and converted to JPG in the Adobe RGB color profile. If you are using an internet browser that does not...
