Buying a USED Nikon D810, worth the risk? Nikon d810 review | Landscape Photography
#NikonD810 #Usedcamera #Landscapephotography #Mersey
I give my review on the mighty D810, which I bought used to improve my photograpy. Did it work?
My vlog based on the banks of the Mersey in Runcorn on Wigg Island for the sunset. Join me as I vlog my photography experiences.
So what's the backstory behind this video?
Well, I’m a Landscape photographer, based in the UK, searching for interesting locations, mainly around the UK, but also traveling further afield. I endeavour to make all of my videos as interesting as possible, with editing skills I've picked up over the years, also with adding music to match the mood of the locations and images. Using a basic set up, consisting of my DJI Osmo Action, my Mavic Pro Drone (although not all the time) and either my trusty Nikon D810 or my Nikon D7200 cameras, for the images.
I always show my images, no matter how unhappy I am with them, I think you as the viewer deserve to see the good along with the bad, after all, if it’s on the video, you've already seen behind the scenes.
So sit back, grab a coffee or a tea, relax and enjoy my slightly unprofessional, sometimes comical, but always crammed with passion video.

I cant believe it's been a year since I shot this, a 12 month review is well overdue.

Just bought a d810 with only 8K clicks on it. Thanks for the video, quite inspirational.

Hey Ben. I've just upgraded from my old D3300 !!!! I couldn't quite afford the 850 or Z9 ! LOL ! I WISH !!! So I went with a used D810 with 4k count. Pick it up Friday and can't wait. Probs a little overkill for toy photography but hey those xtra pixels will come in handy for blowing up prints. Great vid. 👍🏽

Sorry Paul, I must have missed this. Oh wow, you’ll love it mate, it’s an amazing camera and well worth it. 4k is nothing for it either. 👍
Absolute beast of the camera. I use it day in and out and it's been 3 years. It never failed me. Honest videos like these matter. Thank you

Thank you so much, yeah absolutely love mine, although I almost destroyed it a couple of weeks ago (2nd to last vlog explains) but it bounced back.
Great video, love both Starburst shots. Love those 810's. Nikon colors are the best. Thanks again.
Very nice video, best quality, best content 👍
Great video Ben. Super colors, loved your favorite. Nice location, the bridge shots were great. Thanks keep up the good work.
First vlog of yours that I have found. Some absolutely stunning images and a great vlogging style. I have subscribed.

Dave Lefever thank you so much Dave, really glad you like the images, much more to come soon👍
Just bought a Nikon 810 today with a 17-35mm lens for interior real estate photography. I'll get another lens 28-70mm in the future. Long time owner of Nikon cameras and lens. Although Z mirrorless bodies are available I'm finding I have more lens choices with the 810. Picked it up for $750 - hope I can look back on this moment and think that I made a good choice.

Hope you really enjoy it, it’s a phenomenal camera… since recording though I did have an accident with it and it’s been replaced with the D850, but there isn’t much more difference between the two. 👍
Really nice images love the double sunburst too

Yeah they were stunning. Thank you.
I purchased a factory refurbished D810 from adorama. It was indistinguishable from brand new except for the box. It came in a plain box instead of the glossy printed boxes that the new cameras come in. But I’m not kidding when I say it was otherwise like a new camera. The cosmetic condition was perfect. The operation was perfect. It came with all the little extra attachment thingy’s that the new cameras came with. I’d also like to add that I have purchased other factory refurbished Nikon equipment and had the same experience with all of those as well. If it is truly factory refurbished they do a very very good job. I have had experience with Amazon labeling something as factory refurbished, and it clearly wasn’t. The Nikon factory refurbished products will come with a 90 day warranty card.

@@iambawe_grey it was “Factory Refurbished”. If you are looking in the used department, the best is OB (open box) or D (demo). But a camera the age of the D810 is not likely to be OB or D. So look for E+ or E. Even E- is probably okay. I found mine by searching for “Refurbished D810”. I just did a search on “Refurbished Nikon DSLR” on Adorama, and found 1 D850 at about $2800, a D7500 at about $1000, and a D780 at about $2200. Be careful about Amazon. Cameras that just say “refurbished”, are not necessarily factory refurbished. The D850 is probably the best camera Nikon ever made. But still expense, even used. I love the D810.

The D810 is a brilliant camera
Good image quality but too bulky and slow for my liking. Best suited for portraits and studio work IMO.
Nice job of the video! The music was awesome also, I would love to know who that artist was!!

Thank you George. All the music is from epidemic sound, an unlicensed music channel, I think you can sign up for 7 days free trial. There are some great tracks on there.
