I use the the DR5 right angle finder for viewing at awkward angles with the D800, especially for landscapes and macro work The Nikon DK-17M also is a superb upgrade to the original eyepiece.

I had to Google the DR5. I had forgotten that they made such a thing.

Really liked the first panorama the best. I liked seeing the progression of shots on that tree. The D800 still holds up well.

I loved it Phil, what a great departure from our usual bird videos. Plus you were having fun. I liked all the tree shots but you are right the last was the best. I am shooting with a D850, you will have too pry that from my hands in the end. Love those F mount lenses. Keep up the great work and let's not wait too long until you do another video with the D800. Great story line , thanks Phil.

That's great you know there is a certain mystic about the older equipment. I think it must be because we have confidence in our old stuff. Thanks again, I loved that video.

Another excellent video Phil, enjoy all your stuff

I have the D800e version and still a very nice camera. 36mp is still considered high. The Z6iii released yesterday has only 24.5mp.

It's a Awesome Camera.. I have the entire D800s Series.. Nikon D800-D800e-D810-D850

Not on purpose but it did work out that way. :)

Hi bought mine in June 4Th 2013 still using it

I love taking my older cameras out for a shoot. Most still shine when it comes to overall image quality. Just spent a day with my Sony A7r2 and the images still blow me away.

Phil, I enjoyed the video. I went to mirrorless (Z8) when it came out and to fund that camera I sold many of my F mount lenses. However, I just got a D800. I still have come old primes and I suppose that's what I'll shoot with most of the time. I also have a D700 and I enjoy shooting with that and then competing against modern camera in photography contests. I have one in a contest now and on Sunday I'll find out how I did against the modern cameras.

Hi Phil, great shot!! I just sold my D800 only because I was gifted a Z8. I still have my D810 though LOL. D800 and 810 gave me many years of beautiful amazing photos. I wouldn't of sold it but, since I now have a Z8 and I have the D810, sold it to help pay for some Z glass. Anyway, keep shooting my friend!

The 14mm shot at 9:00 of the tree was wonderful. Photoshop will easily fix that trash can leaning. :)

Thank you, Tim! That one was my favorite. I know how to get vertical lines straight in Lightroom but it often seems like the solution causes more problems and the image ends up looking weird. Especially when buildings are involved. With this tree as the subject, it might not be as noticeable so I should have at least tried it.

Gonna try & grab a 800 that comes with quality glass for landscape photos. Thank you for your video. Subscribed!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy your D800. I just purchased a used D850 the other day. I found a deal on one that I could not turn down.

Hi Phil, Just wondering if you came across a setting where the flash pops up automatically when reaching a minimum shutter speed ???

The D3 is a beast, love it.

As a wildlife obsessed guy, I perfectly understand the gear-rush. Wildlife fast AF, pre-release capture, and other items are game changers. But DSLRs from years past are great for landscapes, structures, urban scene photos, etc. Live preview is valuable for high-stakes events like weddings, but for things like studio photos? just fix the settings and shoot. Of course if you're making huge money or your clients are world class, I get it. But this video proves the "old" DSLRs are fantastic and very well suited to task.

Flipping screens is just a point of failure at some time.

@PhilThach

That does seem to be a legitimate concern. However, I own the following cameras that have a flipping or at least tilting screen, Canon M50, R7, R6 Mark II, Nikon D500, D850, Z50, Z6 and none of them have had a screen failure. Not a single one.

@@PhilThach It is the rear display connector cable that is most sensitive to wear. Not so much the mechanics. Depends of course on how much you use the screen and how rough or cautious you are.
