I decided to upgrade from a Nikon d 7100 to the Nikon d800. And wow full frame is so much better. It does high speed sync. I like when the focal length is what it's supposed to be compared to my d7100. The d800 can you take such amazing pictures in low-light and you can go up to 6000 ISO and it will still not be grainy. This alone makes me fall in love with this camera. I bought this used for 560 bucks and I couldn't be more happier. It don't have a touch screen or a tilting screen. But I don't need that for what I'm doing. It's a heavy duty camera that's water seal and I love the 36 megapixels. it's insane on how much detail you can get out of this camera with the right lens. I pair this camera with the Nikon 85 mm 1.8 g and I tokina 100 mm f 2.8 macro and wow!!!!!!! Amazing! Just melted the background and the images were crystal clear. You have to buy some food glass to get the most out of it. I had the money to go buy a new a7iii or a Canon 5dsr but I wanted to give the d800 a chance and I will keep this camera til it dies. The image qualities can compete with any of the 2019 cameras coming out. Just because this is older don't count it out. I may buy the new Nikon z6 or z7 but I will keep this because I know I can always count on it. I kept the d7100 in case this has a problem and use it as a second camera for weddings but I normally only use the d800. Get one try it out I promise you will love it. You don't need all the bells and whistles to get amazing photos.Read full review

I grew up using Nikon film cameras. In fact, I did not finally switch to digital until 2014, and first to Fujifilm, because Fuji was the first to make a digital camera with the controls, look and feel of a classic 35mm camera. I only switched back to Nikon when the Df became affordable used. I absolutely love the Df. I got the D800E specifically for film scanning, because of the high resolution and no anti-aliasing filter. And a LOT cheaper than a D850. I knew I would not prefer the D800E controls, but it is worse than I thought. I cannot even set the aperture on my D type lenses - have to use one of the camera's wheels. If all you have known is this type of DSLR, you would probably be OK with it. For me it's annoying to use. Lucky for me, I won't have to change settings often in my scanning setup.Read full review

The Nikon D800 is an incredible camera! It features the versatility of a professional photographers camera and delivers absolutely stunning images. The addition of a battery grip, essentially doubling the power capacity, is recommended for shooting RAW images. With the ability to shoot in fully automatic, shutter and aperture priority, and full manual, there is no limit to the techniques that you can use to capture just about any image in any situation. The variable focus modes and wide ASA setting range opens up the opportunity to shoot anything from sporting events to wildlife to portraits. This is a powerful piece of equipment. But, if you are an inexperienced photographer, you might take a while to learn the seemingly limitless settings on this camera. It appears the D800 was designed for the seasoned pro. The extensive manual for this camera will take a while to sift through. There are several useful guides available to help you navigate this intricate machine. The effort is completely worth it! Overall, this is an amazing camera. As it is now a few years old, you can get a good price on a slightly used one. The technical challenges of using the camera may frustrate a novice DSLR user, but be patient. It is well worth the effort.Read full review

The D800E is still a great professional-grade camera. It creates clear and crisp images with its 36 megapixel sensor, suitable for cropping and editing in GIMP or your favorite image management software. It has a large and bright LCD screen for image review. It also works with all my Nikon lenses from my F3, F4, and F6 film cameras. The one I purchased has a very low shutter count and looks new. I am very happy with it.

I owned the original D800 back in the day and always had regret for selling it. I had a mirrorless nikon, but was never really satisfied with 24 megapixels. I took plunge and bought the D800E and have not regretted it, especially for the price. After a few shots with the camera, I had forgotten how wonderful these cameras were to hold and use after nine going on ten years. I would also mention the excellent sensor. For a camera pushing ten years. I decided to check out DxO Mark for current sensor rankings, and the D800E still beats out most mirrorless sensors, including the Canon R5/6, as well as Nikon's own Z6 II. Then there is the unique, organic, image quality, Nikon high end dslr's have. After using mirrorless then moving back to a dslr for stills, I could not help but notice the look the D800E produces, compared to mirrorless. Don't get me wrong, mirrorless is the future, for sure, but right now, the D800E image quality, just looks better in regard to an obvious, clinical, digital look the high end mirrorless produce...still excellent image quality, but definitely less organic than the D800E. So, yes...I am very glad I have a D800 series camera back in my hands.Read full review
