This camera rocks. Excellent image quality. It may be a model that has been out for a while, but great image quality I'd great image quality. I used to own a Nikon D800e, but I sold it a couple of years ago because I was tired of it and wanted a new experience, but I didn't want to spend $3000 again for a top camera. I bought a D5500 and had fun with it for over a year. I'm a wide angle fan and missed a full-frame camera. When I saw I could get a new D810 here for a little over $1600,I jumped for it. I don't know if the D810 is considered a small upgrade or a major improvement over the D800/e or not but I noticed immediately that the ergonomics are better with a deeper grip. I do exposure bracketting and had to take five shots to get to a +-2 exposures, only three now. Saves a lot of hard drive space. Low light/high ISO performance is a huge improverment. The D850 seems to be a great camera, too, but being $1200 more than what you can get a new D810 for, I am glad I bought my D810. Also, I purchased a book for the D810 because it has a slew of features.Read full review

In year 2020 this is a great camera secret. Everyone has gone to mirrorless, so that leaves Nikon and their old DSLR F lens gathering dust. You can pick these up for cheap now. Two reasons, Nikon 55mm f2.8 macro is probably the best lens Nikon has. KenRockwell said that on his website, and is true. See the 100% crop of the eye on the dog. That is as sharp as you are going to get on this side of a Zeiss lens. Second reason, D810 has a base ISO64. All other cameras has base ISO of typically 100 or 200. This means you get excellent image quality and wide dynamic range. Assume you have enough light to use ISO60. Most of the time you do. The picture of the dog was shot at ISO64 in the evening with a flash.

Still learning to use the added features, upgrading from a D-90, but this is a big difference in capabilities . As for the D810 that was shipped, I believe it was very fairly represented, and am pleased with the "like-new" condition of the camera. So far no surprises, except positive ones. The camera body is pretty close to immaculate, and the D810 is a far bigger step uo in capabilities than I had thought, for studio-like tripod shots of valuables and documents. Can't wait to get it outside, and do some non=studio, really life natural and action stuff. Can't believe the difference the full frame format makes!

I had been wanting this camera for years, but it didn't make sense for me to upgrade to it back when it first came out. However, as soon as the next model came out, I knew this model would begin dropping in price and I could justify gettting one (or two) for myself. Like most photogs, I have a large investment in professional lenses and other gear. For the types of photos I take, having 36.3MP RAW files didn't make the purchase of a Nikon D810 a must. My photography has changed to where I am shooting more landscapes and cityscapes, and having a higher resolution full frame camera turned my wants into needs and, as a result, I bought two D810's. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I still very much enjoy shooting film with my Nikon F5, but I sell more of my fine art work because they are remastered digital fine art pieces made possible with the D810 cameras (and my talent behind the camera as well as on the computer doing post work). I simply love the Nikon D810's and, right now, they are very affordable for most serious amateurs, as well as professionals who can't, or refuse to, move up to the D850 or the newest mirrorless Nikon cameras. As for me, I am perfectly content with my D810's and my F5.Read full review

I love this camera. It is my first full-frame camera. My last camera (which I liked, and got a lot out of) ) was a Canon 70D. I like how this handles. It took a few days playing with it to get used to the different arrangement of settings compared to Canon. It works well in lower light than I could achieve previously with my 70D. Love that. Side note (in case it helps someone else): bought used, and was stressed out at first, as it appeared the camera couldn’t auto-focus. But the settings had been changed by previous owner to only do back-button focus, so once I got that changed back to default, I was so relieved. Having so much fun, and picture quality is beautiful. Oh, one thing I’m finding is I have to use manual white balance sometimes to get skin tones right. That’s the only thing my Canon seemed to get a little better in auto.Read full review
