The logical continuation of the popular models D800 andThe D800E has become the Nikon D810 camera. The start of sales of the device in our country fell on July 2014. According to representatives of the manufacturer, none of her other cameras can boast such an impressive image quality.

general description
Сама по себе камера представляет собой Classic-style mirror camera. Despite the fact that the production of the body uses relatively light materials, its weight is 830 grams. This allows you to balance a fairly heavy lens, which is a very important nuance when shooting with the Nikon D810. A review of the latest product line from this manufacturer is a clear confirmation that the new product has a virtually identical design with its predecessor, the D800 model. The novelty is equipped with a 36.3 megapixel FX matrix without an optical filter for low frequencies. According to the developers, all changes to the camera were made solely on the basis of feedback from the device owners. There are no significant flaws in the novelty. The only thing that can cause a complaint to a modern user is the absence of a Wi-Fi module in such a high-end device.

Ergonomics and build quality
The quality is on a fantastic level.assembly. The body of the Nikon D810 is made of magnesium alloy, which creates the impression of high strength. It is completely sealed. An interesting innovation compared to the previous modification was the use of separate rubber plugs for protection against moisture ingress inside (and not one common, as before) for all connectors and slots. The layout of the main control keys has also changed slightly. These improvements can hardly be called significant and with a cursory review may even go unnoticed. Whatever it was, they all played a positive effect.
Screen
The essential advantage of the camera is considered andNikon D810 display. A review of the camera market shows that the screens of only a few of them boast similar parameters. The size of its diagonal remained the same - 3.2 inches, but the image quality has improved significantly. The resolution is 1.23 million dpi. At the same time, it should be noted that the changes were made to the structure of pixels. In particular, instead of the usual RGB matrix, the model uses an RGBW screen. Adding a white subpixel made it possible to increase the maximum brightness of the display and at the same time reduce the amount of energy they use. In addition, its color rendition and contrast significantly increased. In order to counteract fogging due to a sharp temperature difference, the space between the matrix and the protective glass is filled with a special gel. Brightness, color saturation and gamma are automatically adjusted by the light sensor.

Basic controls
As noted above, the location of the mainThe controls are much the same as the previous version of the Nikon D810. Customer reviews of the device and experts characterize it as very convenient. There are two positions for the focus mode switch - AF and M. All current settings are displayed on the top screen and in the viewfinder. Located on the front panel buttons Fn and PV have become smaller and round. Near the set key bracketing and an additional hole for connecting a microphone. Buttons for changing the mode and metering are at the back. Here you can find a two-way mode selector.
Auto focus and shooting
Maximum resolution shooting speedis 5 frames per second. Provided the framing mode is activated, it will increase to 6 frames per second. In its price segment in this indicator, one of the leaders is considered to be the Nikon D810. Review of competing cameras is another proof of this. The speed of the auto focus can be called excellent. This is especially true for the Live View mode. The developers managed to achieve this largely due to the use of the module in the camera, which is used in more expensive models. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the 51-point focusing system, which can boast of high speed, even in poor lighting conditions. Moreover, the device system involved 15 points of the cross type. This means that the difference in contrast is analyzed both vertically and horizontally.

Image Quality
Already at the first look at the pictures taken atusing this camera, their highest quality becomes apparent (an example of Nikon D810 Sample is shown below). The developers managed to achieve such an impressive result, largely due to the increase in the hardware range of iSO. The size of the spectrum for new items is from 64 to 12,800 units. Its maximum indicator in comparison with the predecessor has doubled. It should be noted, and simply incredible resolution of images. Details are excellently transmitted even at high iSO values. As the numerous examples of photos made using the Nikon D810 show, the color rendition on them differs by a slight shift towards the blue. Whatever it was, even the skin tone looks quite natural. The average size of a photo taken at maximum quality is 25 megabytes, and its dimensions are 7360 x 4912 pixels. The most important thing to remember is that in order to get high-quality images you need to use good lenses.

Video shooting
The device provides the opportunityFull HD video with five different frame rates per second and two quality levels. In this case, the videos are accompanied by stereo sound. The longest recording time in normal quality is 30 minutes, and in high quality - 20 minutes. These restrictions do not apply if you shoot by connecting an external recorder using an HDMI cable. Innovation in the camera Nikon D810 was the presence of an improved mode of image management. It is used to obtain the maximum dynamic range. As practice shows, the built-in microphone is not enough to create professional videos, so you need to use an auxiliary device. In order to monitor sound quality during the creation of clips, the manufacturer has provided the ability to connect headphones. As in any other modern camera, there is a button for direct video filming. It can be found right next to the shutter button.

Flash
Unlike its main competitors, the cameraequipped with a built-in retractable flash. The developers have provided for her a number of possibilities. In particular, it can be synchronized on the back or front curtain, act as a lead, and also trigger with manual or automatic activation. In addition, the flash is equipped with a red-eye reduction function.
Night shot
At a fairly high level are in the newNikon D810 night shooting features. The device supports shutter speeds up to thirty seconds. In addition, there is a mode, when activated, which shooting can be carried out throughout the entire period of time while the shutter button is pressed. This can be very useful when taking pictures in the dark. In addition, the user can independently configure the noise reduction function, which makes it possible to reduce to almost zero the probability of the appearance of so-called hot pixels.

Battery
Nikon D810 uses the same camerabattery, as in the D800E. It is designed to create 1200 photos without additional recharging. It should be noted that for this kind of devices it can be called a decent indicator. In addition, the battery pack is interchangeable with a similar device from the model D4.
Conclusion
Without a doubt, the Nikon D810 canclaim the title of a dream as a beginner and professional photographer. Regardless of the location of the shooting, whether nature or studio, the user will receive high-quality photos. This can explain the fact that the cost of the device in the salons of domestic stores starts with a mark of 130 thousand rubles. In this case we are talking about the price of one body only, without taking into account the investment in the lens. However, as evidenced by numerous expert reviews, the camera is really worth the money. And for a real professional, such a sum cannot be called very terrible for such a serious device. The camera is superior to its predecessor in many ways, and its acquisition will no doubt be a significant step forward.
