No bother mate! All 18 of my subs would be thrilled to check out your channel!

I bought one used from MPB specifically for taking pictures of my paintings and for making short promo videos for use at galleries and art fairs for my shows. I get amazing photos that I can use to make super high quality prints and the videos look fantastic. Sure it’s dated, but for what I use it for a new DSLR or mirrorless won’t give me anything worth the difference in price between roughly $550 for a decent used one and several thousands.

I just bought one it’s awesome thanks for sharing your experience

The auto focus on mine fails on occasions. I have to switch my lens to manual or it won't shoot. It could be the lens (24-120 Nikkor f4) I don't seem to have the problem with my 20mm f1.8. It's a tripod camera definitely Very heavy but the resolution is great despite the low pass filter 📷👍

I had to send one of mine back as it had the asymmetric focus issue. After points on the left of the frame were just useless in anything but bright light. I'm thinking I may go for the Z7ii and let the D800 finally rest 🤣

Not even today,Nikon hasn't managed to make a mirrorless camera with the image quality better than the D800! I have this camera for 10 years and i am not interested in swapping it but if i would do it,i would go for D850. The downside of D800 is it's AA filter,i compared with D800E and D850 and in terms of sharpness,with the same lenses, it falls in the last place but even so,with the right lenses,this camera is till a beast in terms of raw image quality.

I have to disagree. In terms of Images quality, the D800 falls quite far behind the newer mirrorless cameras. The recent improvements with noise have left many older sensors lacking

@@IanSandersonPhotography well, exactly that's the thing. If just one point is better, strictly talking about raw image quality,it doesn't necessarily mean I should jump on a new system:) A sh D800 is about 400$,a sh D850 is around 1500€ while the newest mirrorless camera...like Z7II is, new,way above 2000€. This was my point,with someone with a D800,there is no point and nothing to miss by getting a brand new mirrorless as long as in the same price category (D800 new, mirrorless new) there is no noticeable improvement to justify the purchase :)

This might be too specific of a question, but I’m gonna try asking it anyway. I currently use a Nikon D5600, would it be worth switching to the D800? Or is the difference between the two negligible?

@IanSandersonPhotography

Жыл бұрын

That's a tricky one. The 5600 is more modern and has some features the D800 doesn't. Wifi and NFC for example. You'll probably get better image quality from the D800 but the caveat there is the larger file sizes. Also if you're lenses are all DX lenses you'll lose any benefit of the full frame sensor. I always tell people to upgrade their glass before the camera.

I have had two D800 for years, and probaly keep them til they die. They are very cheap anyway. D800 is great for most of my use as a non-pro, but AF and lack of tilting screen and wifi can from time to time be bad. Because of the slow AF I did get a D500, a great camera for action, but picturequality is not better than D800 as I see it. Actualy, I sold the D500 after a year. Both D500 and D800 are very solid buildt, and D5600 is probaly close also in picturequality. If you only have DX-lenses, keep the 5600, it is more up to date and easy to carry for a long day.

I currently have a Nikon d750 but I need a back up camera would the d800 be a good choice I’m even on a budget but a wandering if I should get back a d750 or a d610 but what you think the d800 ok to get ?

@IanSandersonPhotography

11 ай бұрын

Hey Dex! Yeah the 800 would be a good back up, as would the 610. You just have to bare in mind that the D800 is comparatively slow compared to more modern cameras. Hope that helps, let me know what you choose

Photos, yes; videos, no. Anything reliant on an exposure lock to hold down the F-stop and shutter speed, while forgetting the ISO is useless for any video work.

I use these for landscapes, 12-16 mp is plenty for portrait photography.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. The 800 is a great camera even today. There are a few duds out there so be careful when buying. My main advice when buying DSLR is to invest more in the glass than the camera. That's by far the most important aspect.

I have an important question. Actually my D800 has A 1.01/B1.02 firmware. I'm thinking about update the firmware and I've just read that the newest firmware (A1.11/B1.11) has some problems with sigma lens. Is that true? Should I update to A1.10/B1.10 than? Please help :)

A person who can use up to 40% of this camera's potential could be a decent photographer already. Built like a tank, able to create aesthetic pieces of art, for a very affordable price. An used D800 pairing with a standard 50mm 1.8 won't cost you more than 500$. They are glitches in Nikon system, just like the phenomenal D750...

So what happened to the other guys channel links?

I have the dynasty. D800 and D700. I left Canon in the dust. When you have these what's mirrorless? Performance and build, 3rd party support, wide range F Nikkor lenses. Speed lights, a no brainer for a camera for life, not just a tweener for something later. You buy because Nikon was committed, and supported an Ecosystem. The Z system isn't there yet. I have had many cameras, but came back home to Nikon. Only cameras I need till I die. Admittedly my Sonys are lighter and faster, used for church event shooting, but the Nikons are for me! Committed to joy, and robustness, and no BS of newness. Just grand e xperience and build. Special every time you pick up the D800 or any legacy D camera that says I don't need new. I need special, and good, wide open system.

The Z system is leaps and bounds ahead of the F system now. Sold the D800 a few months ago. Only have the D500 left which I'm preserving in acrylic at some point in the future.
