Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
Wayne...Are you saying it is or is not an issue specific to just my camera? I'm a little confused...As for the transfer...I've been going from my camera(s) via USB to Nikon Transfer 2 program which places it to my Mac's hard drive and then import to Lightroom...It's worked smoothly on every camera until now. I do have a card reader and I'll try it to see if that changes things...I just don't know weather to send the camera back or not at this point..
Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
No I haven't done that in a while....That might be something to look into, but a longshot I fear
Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
I suggest that you take the following steps to isolate the problem.
1a. Check if the files are displaying on the camera display. Zoom to max and check details. If they are displaying, the camera is writing properly to the card.
1b. Check the files on both the cards - SD and CF. If both display, then camera and cards are functioning properly.
2a. Use USB cable to download the files to computer. Using the OS commands (not any program)
2b. Use View NX supplied with the camera (or download the latest version) to view the downloaded files. If files open properly, then you are fine. Other wise it is a data transfer problem.
3. Use the View NX to transfer and view the files. If it works, fine, else it is still a data transfer problem over the USB.
4. Use card reader to transfer the files and view them in View NX. If they open, fine, else it may be a card data transfer problem. Check with both the cards. It may also be a data incompatibility, in which case the camera software is to be blamed - return the camera.
If the images are opening properly in View NX and/or Capture NX-D, then the problem lies in the software you are using. Till a fix is available, use the Nikon Software to adjust and export the files in 16bit TIFF for processing by other software.

I don't think so. This is how the newer codec will get LR to recognize the new D810 format.

Don't worry. The same happened to me when I first got my D7000. I had to wait for the camera raw files to be updated. I also had the problem when I got the D600 and just used the Adobe Camera Raw converter for all my nef files for a while until I updated my Photoshop version.

Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
I don't know anything about your problem, but I certainly would not bet that the camera is any problem. You just cannot copy the files.
The link I gave you said there were problems with Nikon Transfer 1 (and other Nikon software) copying NEF files (could not read the result).
You said Transfer 2, so I don't know about it, but you have a problem, so simply try some other method.
Mac surely just allows you to just drag and drop them, that should always work.

Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
It's not a transfer problem then, it's a CONVERSION problem. If you have an exif editor, you could try changing the data of the camera model from 810 to 800 and your present LR version would then recognize your files and treat them.

Update your LR and CC versions using Adobe's updater and you should be just fine.

Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
Just read on a european forum that LR is not yet able to open 810 raw files. The only way to use them now is through Adobe Camera Raw converter or Nikon's software. You at least have a choice now. Which mean you have to convert the raw files to DNG format or TIFF or Jpeg before you import them into LR. That how it is for now.

Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
Every file type requires a codec to read/write a file format. D810 may have a slightly different RAW format. Wait, till the OS updates the file types it can "understands"

Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
Well...It seems that the camera works perfectly with tiff and jpg files and I can use those formats until the new codes are written. I'm pretty much convinced that this is not a defective camera, just a new model that the software needs to catch up on and I'm fairly sure that will happen soon. Now bear with me as I ask....is the tiff format almost the same as RAW?...The files are huge....over 105mg per......Will I lose much quality by using this? At least now I can use lightroom and photoshop...Thanks for all your help guys...Now the question is...Do I keep 'er or not??

Re: Defective D810!!! Corrupt RAW files
Use the Nikon Capture NX-D software to do your raw file edits then from within the Nikon software you can transfer them into Photoshop or Lightroom as 16-bit TIFF files. And yes, D810 TIFF files will be huge, ~105MB. And no, TIFF is not the same as raw.
