I shot with my Nikon D810 for eight years. It’s an awesome camera! Last December I decided to upgrade to the Nikon D850 and got a terrific deal. No regrets here. I gave my son my D810 and it’s still in perfect condition and takes amazing photos! I highly recommended getting one used. Don’t get caught up in technology, it’s the person behind the camera that creates great photos!
Could you compare the autofocus between D810 and D850 in low light ? Looking to do the same upgrade here but I do not know if it is worth it for my events.
I got one a few months ago for landscapes, best purchase ever! The image quality and dynamic range is incredible, I don't see any point in buying the latest mirrorless cameras, especially not for my use case. Some people say they are lighter but are they really? Once you factor in carrying many extra batteries the weight becomes becomes negligible and the lenses are of a similar size/weight. You can use the d810 with gloves on too which is a bonus in winter.
I have been using a D750 for years, and just this week got a D810. I'm happy to have better resolution. (I've yet to try iso 64.) I will keep the D750, but suspect I will mostly use my new/used D810. ( November 2023 )
I just upgrated my gear from D800 to D810. Compared to D850 but finally went to D810. With battery grip I paid 810 €. SC 21k. I believe that this body will fullfil my needs for many years. 😊
I just got one for personal use yesterday, I’m impressed how well it performs and feels, I already have a z7 but this d810 seems to perform better in low light and af. Z7 is better in everything related to video.
Depends on the price & shutter count. I have mine (1st 7 only DSLR) for 7.5 yrs now. I would have to guess my shutter count is up to about 80-90k from shooting wildlife (mostly wildlife/nature/macro photography) with probably a 35-40% keeper rate for wildlife. Plenty of res for everything but the heaviest of crops but still very decent. I'm looking to upgrade to the tilt rear lcd & the in camera focus stack shooting mode. I'll always take more AF options if available. If I get the D850, no need to upgrade any of my software either. As a bonus, the 600mm f4 vr lenses are coming down in price quite nicely also. If the camera does what you need, no need to upgrade.
i shoot the 810 next to guys with sony mirrorless and canon R series and none of them can tell the difference between my photos and theres in the same situations. besides the auto focus the image quality is just as good as any newer camera
I have a D810 and a D850 for aerial work out of helicopters since changing lenses during the flight is not too smart. Love my D810 and love my D850. Great vid... no reason for me to go to the Z8...yet. :)
I have been shooting with my D810 for nearly nine years and the camera is still up there with the latest and best of them. It is the best camera I have ever owned. But yours looks to be in a lot better shape than mine. The AF on lettering is gone on mine and some of the rubber is wearing off. If I could get a good deal on a used D850 I would upgrade it,
The only thing these Nikon models lag behind ( no pun ) is in Live View. D800, D810, D7100 and D7200 all really struggle in Live View. I dont really like it on my D500. Otherwise, all really great imagers.
The Nikon D2x wasn’t really a revolutionary camera. It’s image quality was soon superseded by the humble Nikon D200. The Nikon D3 was the revolutionary one.
@@moonfishr_fr Hi. Good question and you raise valid points about weight and the shutter sound as negatives compared to the latest mirrorless options. I think image quality still stands up, I'm currently working with a Sony A7iv as comparison. Importantly for most is value and the 810 can be picked up for such a bargain. The weight is a factor but to be honest I would much rather handle a 810 than a Sony at least on shorter shoots. Thanks for commenting and regards.
If your just doing stills and as you have plenty of backup options then stick with them IMO. Image quality is as good as the more modern mirrorless unless you go for a bunch of Z9's so save a fortune and love the d810's.
Heck, where did you get brand new D810 these days? I’m looking to get a backup body, not enough cash for a D850 and I’m not quite trusting the used ones 😅
@@Eyeofdajjal The answer is in the above post... I purchased the new D810s years ago; was involved in a serious accident-unable to use them/work. Now I only need 2 more operations, rehabilitation, then back to work using my still brand "new" d810s. Peace out, my friend.
@@jackedwards9048 oh, sorry, I didn’t catch that! I wish you a - well, that sounds kind of ironic, but still - quick recovery after your final hurdles. I only have an old Canon s as a backup, so I envy you for the great D810s. Something to look forward to! How did you get through these times financially, if I may ask? Insurance is expensive where I live…
@@Eyeofdajjal Thank you for the well wishes... As a working pro, if you need a higher tech backup camera, rent it; save your nickles & dimes to upgrade (at least 3 bodies, half a dozen fast lenses (prime & zoom), and three good lights, brackets, tripod, monopod, light stands, soft boxes, backdrops & stand, etc. Continue photographing & keep the faith; you will get there! Best of luck to ya.

same is PENTAX k1 but you maybe not know the name Pentax
These videos are plenty here on TH-cam. Thematically all the same. And the same answer applies every time. If your camera system is delivering the results you need, it is always relevant, no matter the time. Done!

Hilarious; you say "Don’t get caught up in technology"....and UPGRADE to the 850....with the SUPERIOR technology!!!!
Thats right!! After seeing @Rafaelweigl Rocking that D800 so much till now and produce the best headshots i have ever seen in my entire life !!!

@@tommynikon2283 Yeah, right? Crazy 😝👍
And yet, you upgraded after all? To each their own, but be true to your soul Man, Come on! 😆
Just picked one up BRAND NEW from an authorized dealer for £512 !! Can't wait to dive in! Thank you for the video!

🖕 mirrorless cameras. They are way too expensive and feel cheap.They are good only for whimps and shills.

I still shoot with my D800 from 2012 never failed ! still D850 on my mind or a ZF as change but keeping my D800.

I recently repurchased a D810, and I'm happy to be using it again. I also found that it has better low-light ability than my Z7 and Fuji XT5.
I’ve dragged mine in underground tunnels and mines in all different conditions, absolute beast of a camera.

thanks for the effort and the sharing. if i may ask. other preferred lens you use with your D810? thumbs up.
Your welcome.
For versatility and image quality love the 70-200.
Or slap a 50mm on for a lighter and smaller package.
Yep ! Totally Agreee !
Have a D3 D750 D810 and they’re my babies.
All GREAT cameras! 👍

Question -- what was the battery pack / grip you were using? I want to get mine setup next month, and finding a compatible pack has been hard
I have an off branded One Meike fitted which works great but would recommend the Nikon MB D12 which i have seen used for around £30. Best of luck
Hi, a question about the Neewer display, what model is that display you are using. Thank you

Are you retired Militairy Photographer ? Brit ? i am retired RNLMC NCO Warrent Officer
Hello, as a pro photographer, do you recommend it for weddings, where I see "cons" : weight and sound of shutter ?
@@moonfishr_fr Hi.
Good question and you raise valid points about weight and the shutter sound as negatives compared to the latest mirrorless options.

I have 3 brand new d810s are they still good for professional wedding photography or should i update my equipment?

Quick question... what's that monitor for video you have? Thanks!
Are you blind? It’s a Neewer, geesh
obsolet...
