funny I just sold my x2d and went back to x1dii. For me it's the perfect size/weight and ergo of the x1dii that I simply cannot get from X2D. I also like the color more on the x1dii, the x2d tends to surpress highlight a little bit too much for me. The only thing I miss is the ibis. But if I have to cope with 200grams more for that, I'd rather not have it.

The colors are amazing. Ok, it’s KZbin but anyway… Perhaps a good friend of my Leica 😂

I just tried a used X1D II in a shop and was amazed how fast it was. I thought it would be really slow, but I guess those reviewers never shot with a Canon DSLR combined with the 85mm F1.2

Hi! Love your video:) We would be happy to collaborate. If you are interested, could you please provide your email address?

beautiful photos! I had an x1dii and do miss it. I now have an a7cr and I definitely miss the out of camera files the hassseblad provided. To me I love the fact that hasseblad has a standard picture profile and that is it. It's like this is what you get, like shooting film. and you really hardly have to edit the files. I usually did exposure and contrast. Im super tempted to buy another. I also had a gfx 50sii and returned it within a week. Definitely does not have the same color the hasseblad has. Thanks

thank you this was so helpful

Best review with photo samples

Thank you for sharing your video; it's excellent. I have a question regarding the accuracy of the autofocus (AF) in the X1D II. I've seen some videos where users mentioned that despite the AF appearing to lock onto the subject, the photos still appear blurry when viewed on the monitor. Have you experienced this issue with the XCD 35-75 or 90 lens?

Amazing content! What do you think about collaboration? We are develoring film emulation plugin to help photographers and videographers with color grading

Just to add - I would choose/use CF cards over SD cards ANY DAY of the week. Faster and more reliable. Also, the D800 takes both ;-) Also also, the D800 is an absolute monster of a Camera. I'll never sell mine. Final note - I am a fashion designer, so shooting fabrics/clothing is a big part of using the D800. It is more suitable than the D800e (or D810) for shooting fabrics, as it has an in built anti alias filter glued to the sensor which helps to eradicate/limit moiré artifacts in the image. If that stuff is important to your work, then it is just something to be aware of.

Don't consider it old tech my D3 STILL BEATS new cameras and DON'T FORGET when these came out they were the best and still are

No...2024

I would like to see some pictures taken with the D800.

Is it worth the upgarde from a D3500 to a D800?

How does it perform compared to a D3500 or D7500 or something similar at ISO 6400?

D800 or 800e or 810?? Is AF works good in all of this models? No sport photos

With a Sigma 85 mm 1,4 DG ART Plus, it’s a beast!

Great job. Great info. Down to earth and to the point. Thanks. I shoot with a d800e. I'm still learning and looking for a decent 35mm or 50mm prime lens.

What is the printer that you are using - the Epson "what"?

Furthermore, I love your review. And lastly, have a wonderful day.

I still use the Nikon D700 a true work horse Thanks for the review!

Love my D800. I have a D7100 as well. Love it as a 2nd camera body, but, looking at A7III to replace 2nd body. Issue? Adapter to work on Tamron G2 lens (telephoto lens is where I have issue). Using prime lens? No issues with 3rd party adapters. Aperture and other electronic issue are main problem, but not with D800 dslr. Will keep using until either it or I die. (Hopefully I go 1st!!). 😁 Thanks for video!👍🏾📸

Nice job. What about the D 750?

2018?? Pffft ;) I *just* got one in March 2019 .... and am *BLOWN AWAY* by this camera.

ı use same d800 for 6year many hard conditions area and weather (dusty factory ,under rain etc.) only change mirror system when 300.000 shoot ( it cause autofocus problem) I like my d800

Ive also a proud owner, but i also bought a D750 for fast moving subjects. Dani Diamond is still using his D800 and 85 1.4 for his work. I would recommand the 70 200e fl, its not cheap, but the IQ is mindblowing! I you want, watch some photos on instagram/facebook Anderson Quattra. Have a gread day! ..this Tamron .. i want it ;)

i still use my d3 for weddings 53,000 shutter accusations

if you shot in log, then at least add some editing. the flat look for the video is horrible.

On Point. Bought an D810 for $920 at Roberts camera. With money save I bought the nikons 24-70 2.8 50mm 1.8 and a 28-300.

I just got a D800 with under 700 shutter actuations for $500.

2:15 - what do you mean by the autofocus is lacking? does that mean is just focus's slower or is the focus not as clear so the images look worse? thanks.

600 dollars for a really good used one... and they tru in a 28mm autofocus lens

Useless video

I have a nikond3100 and I want to buy a FF. I have a samyang 14mm, a nikkor 50mm, and a 70-300 (DX)..I shoot a lot of landscape. do you think that d800 is the best buy for me?

I hear that several D800 lot have left focus issues, Is there anybody see this problem during using?

Thanks Elliot! I sold my D800E for going with newer D750, and how I regret that movement. I mostly do portraits, so I really miss the resolution and sharpness the D800E gave me. Perhaps for weddings D750 is a better tool, but for portraits and landscapes I stick to the D800E. Thanks for reminding me to sell the D750 and go back to the D800E 😁

I got a d800 today, with battery grip, for 480 euro :) Great camera.

It's an excellent camera - will be current when we will be using 8K monitors (8K = 33 mp), and the printing technology hasn't even caught up yet with the D800 sensor.

He is right! Here are my personal considerations: rodolfobolanos.wordpress.com/2018/03/31/nikon-d800-is-it-worth-to-get-one-in-2018-2019/

I just got me a mint copy lol

Can this camera do wildlife portrait and astrophotography ? Thanks for answering, great video

Do you have to have a CF card to save photos? or just an SD card?

Been shooting DX since 2013 (Nikon D7100) Planning on Upgrading to a Nikon D800 or Nikon D3s by February 2019.

Great camera. I have had mine since 2013. Just sent it out to get the rubbers replaced but it has served me well for 30,000 shutter actuations.

Gracias really good advice buena palabra.

I just bought on for 350 bucks as an upgrade over my D700. Oh My God Am I Excited!! :O:O:O:O:O:O

Great camera, I use it for wildlife studies: www.wildsouthaustralia.info

great Video my friend , Legend!!!! thanks!!

My loving and beautiful wife bought me a D800 as a wedding gift back in 2013 (I did buy her the Tifanny diamond ring though) and I still use it today in 2018. Honestly, 36-megapixels is overkill! Fine jpegs are about 10-15mb and 50mb for raw BUT if you want to see the best that a D800 can do, shoot at raw and you'll be blown away by the detail especially if you're using quality glass (I mainly use 50mm 1.8g, 80-200mm 2.8 non-D and Tokina 28-70mm 2.6). My previous camera was a D70 w/ 50mm 1.8D and I've printed 36x24 posters with just 6 megapixels (original file was raw). Also, the D800 is the last in the D8xx series that was "Made in Japan" though I have no doubts about Nikon's excellent quality across Thailand, China and Vietnam. It's just nice to have that label still. :) My only gripes about the D800 is that it doesn't have the fastest FPS (only 4) and its 1080p video FX mode technically isn't full-frame (there's actually a slight 1.1x crop) but I don't often shoot video (technically to get the same depth of field with 1.85:1 flat 35mm, you should be shooting at DX video mode where the sensor is close to Super-35 format) and I'm not shooting sports. Anyway, it has been and still is a great camera for me.

I recently jumped from DX to FX (wanted nikon mirrorless DX or FX but sadly not released yet) and picked up a d800 for around 700 and just felt it was a side step rather than an upgrade to my d7100. I enjoy things like the better low light capabilities and dynamic range but because I mainly do sports and wildlife the loss in range was for me a bad trade do to my longest lens being an 80-200 2.8. Hopefully when my 80-400vr gets here i might start using my d800 more but right now its sitting in the bag as a secondary.
