- I went back to the D800e for my "high resolution" photography sensor. I think these old Nikon bodies certainly have a place in modern photography, even for "professional" work.
Nikon has some of my favorite images coming straight from the camera, especially their past bodies. The D800e is the embodiment of this because of its large megapixel full frame sensor, beautiful dynamic range, and classic Nikon colors.
Thanks for watching!

The are no bad cameras today. Only bad photographers.
Absolute quote of the year!
Nice vid. I have a D200, recently took it to a trip to Portugal. I took awesome pics with that 10MP CCD sensor
D200 was an awesome body. Was one of my favorites until the D7000 came out.
I immediately liked the aspect ratio :D
I am so appreciated some people using 10+ years old gear and still make beautiful images.
I'm almost leaning towards "the older the better" nowadays when it comes to photo cameras lol
Mate, I'm still using a D700 with an old 50mm D lend as my main rig and it takes photos in 2024 that are just as stunning as the photos it took in 2009. Up until a couple of months ago I was also using a Pentax K-r, a consumer grade rig that punched well above it's weight. I gifted the K-r to a friend who is just starting out in photography and he loves it as much as I did. I'm also still using an Olympus E300 with an old 8 meg kodak ccd sensor and the photos I get from it are beautiful. The megapixel wars are marketing brainworms for people who think expensive gear equals good shots. I love your content Matt, fight the power my friend.
I am also still rocking my D700. I sold my Fuji XT30ii and just got back to that wonderful working horse. It is just...well...better. :-)
Good to see someone with a Pentax and glad you gifted it on. I have a K-5 IIs and it's one of my all time favorite cameras. Pentax is by far the most underrated in the digital era.
Matt with all respect I don’t care where you come from my friend, but this video speaks for itself , because this is not about the latest gear its about your photographic journey , and you have knocked it out of the park Sir.
Thanks for your comment! Very well spoken
Oh, this is so good. It's stark like winter in the north woods, regardless of the amount of snowfall. This is great to see! I am completely an amateur, with a love for cameras, and an interest in older cameras. Thank you for what you do and share! I am completely a hobbyist and looking for a cheap full-frame option, so definitely this is intriguing. Thank you!
I'm a long time Nikon user who migrated to Sony but still uses Nikon. It's unlikely I'll ever sell my D850. You earned a subscription Matt.
Those old Nikon cameras were made to last forever
Bro! The video is great, and those images 😮 the colours! 😍 thanks for sharing
Nothing wrong with older Nikons. I just bought a D7200 and I love it!
Nice camera- legendary sensor! I have one, but have gone onwards to mirrorless and medium format
i love my d810
I also still have my Nikon D700, D4, but I also have the Z6 and as I work at Panasonic I have the S1R and the S5II and all the lenses (2.8, 1.4 and 1.8)
I love shooting with my Nikon D4, the only thing missing from DSLRs is sensor stabilization.
If I take a handheld photo with my 105mm 1.4E on my DSLR vs my Z6 it's incomparable the Z6 has no movement blur and I can go very low in shutter speed, whereas with the 105 in any case, I can't do it below 1/125th, whereas with the Z6, I can go very, very low and not have any motion blur.
But I still prefer to use my D4, so both systems have their advantages and disadvantages
I really really like your interest in old dslr, espacially on nikon's ones. Not too many people on youtube post content like this
Thanks for watching! Some camera age like fine wine. As much as I like new gear, "old" gear is where it's at 🙏
This is still my best camera I owned as I just upgraded to this from D700 a few years ago. I still owned both of them and I owned many old AF lenses and Z7 is still too expensive for me so I don't really want to move up that way.
When I look at my old pictures taken by D700 it's still look stunning.
Matt, I am currently using 5--16mp cameras, whether it is DSLR or point and shoots! My Pentax K10d ( 10mp) is still working after 14 years of use, I don't think modern cameras are made to last that long. Most of my favorite camera are the CCD cameras ones that are ancient for most people. If something would break it is less to replace. The best part is the vintage lens on those Dslrs. Maybe in the future I will upgrade, but as of right now...nope...seems I can get by with what I have. Thanks for sharing!
This is the first video of you that I see. In the meantime, I also checked your website. Nice work. Keep the old(er) cameras working! 🙂
I appreciate your support!
Good choice. I did the same except to a D810.
I use the D850 and will never use any other camera..., oh, you are correct with your opinion on the "same ole same ole" keep going as you are mate - you are unique.
I'm looking for d850 as well .. currently own d3s, d800e & z6ii
I still shoot with a D3 a few times a week, and thats 12mp good for 26" prints.. sure i have sony and canon mirrorless as well but the D3 is no sloutch..
That D3 feels right in the hands! Very durable and consistent camera
I picked up a nearly new boxed D800 from Japan. Beautiful colors and resolution, more than enough for me. I prefer the optical viewfinder on DSLRs. F mount glass can be found for some crazy cheap prices now that everyone seems to be dumping them for Z mount.
I still use my d800 for weddings, events, wildlife, fun time you name it.. takes amazing pics and has brilliant colour science .. is a tad slow if using the live view but I can live with that 💜
Sensor oil was only the D600 I own the D800 since 2013 June still happy with it every day .before that one I had the D200. apsc from 2007 August
Mood is fire on this 🔥
I have a sizeable camera collection, but my full frame needs are still amply met by my Nikon D700. So I absolutely understand your perspective here. Cheers, and keep up the good work! //Rick
Thanks Rick! A lot of people seem to be keen on that D700; I'm keeping my eyes out for one of those old beasts! I've seen incredible shots from it so I'm gonna jump at the first fair priced one I see lol
I like your style Matt - I've subscribed. ps. I'm still a Nikon DSLR fan too.
I appreciate your support! Nikons color science is among my favorite!
Your arguments seem very valid to me and in fact I don't want to know anything about the Z because the lenses are very expensive and the images I saw from those cameras seem somewhat artificial to me.
Nice open review Matt I will never sell my D800 but thinking about picking up a D850 new in a box at some point they are getting cheaper now ! or a ZF that is going to be the next classic one in some years in the ZET Ballpark .
Nice video, and I get it! I still have my Nikon d7500 and beloved d800E DSLRs and will not part with them! I also have the Sony A7C and A7RIV, all good cameras, but the d800E to me was the best value for the money. I love the d800E shooting landscape especially in high contrast scenes, which is why I still use it to this day, often puts the Sony to shame in its output.
I went the opposite direction recently - added a GFX100S medium format camera to the kit - i can’t see ever needing more than that at 102 megapixels for landscape, portrait, and my Fuji X-H2S for action and wildlife… my nikon D500 is pretty nice, and has its strengths still, also against the fuji X-H2S
I would be lying if I didn't envy your camera selection lol! I've been real close to buying each of your cameras within the last month haha. Thanks for your comment!
im still using my d810 for landscape and d3 as well i have a z50 for casual photos
Great family of cameras indeed!
Great channel Matt sub’d
I appreciate the support!
Just saw you video for the first time and I am looking t I buy an 800 series or a 850 buy wanted to ask you did you mention anythjng about the video from your 800e how is the video from that camera
Thank Jim
Thanks for the question, Jim!
The D850 edges out the D800 in video as it has 4k and slow motion options. The D800 is workable in my opinion; it has full HD and a mic jack.
In short, the d850 could be a better option for video. The d800 is significantly more affordable however, and if you're working within the D850 budget, I'd almost rather just grab a D800, and a budget friendly camera with good video specs (like a used nikon z30 and nikon f to z adapter) then you'd benefit from multiple camera angles while likely still coming under the price of one d850 lol.
I hope that helps!
great vid. I love how you are shooting for a more out of the box and unique presentation style. Too many Casey Neistat-esque low-fi music pumping in the background type vlog's out there. Not bashing it, it's not a bad thing if that's your thing but it's refreshing to see creators (like you)doing something different.
I appreciate the comment!
also what's the track you used in this?
Gotta say, I enjoyed the 4:3. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on scenery when people film 16:9. I'm thinking about upgrading my old DX body and I'm between the 750 and 810.
I really like that D750! Although the D810 has a nice sensor, I've been considering the a D750 for real estate photography as the tilt screen and 24mp sensor seems perfect!
I prefer D810
Funny! "Gangrene and a frozen foot". I won't be getting rid of my Z7ii, but I am re-equipping my D5300. And most of my recent lens purchases have been used. I agree that it's getting ridiculous.
D5300 is such a underrated apsc
I've been planning a D5300 video for the spring. That's one of my favorite crop sensor cameras and I agree that it's underrated. Love the look of those images. That Z7ii is a beast of a camera for sure!
this video is fucking sick. subbed.
Also don't wear crocs full stop 😂 💜
The crocs won't stop 🎵
I had lumix gx85 but i put it on site for sale with 50mm Panasonic lens, but why? Because colors are never satisfied me, i feel like shooting Something unnatural. This feelings step by step grow inside me. And today i bought a nikon d200 like new, just 2500 shutter count. Like you, Megapixels, how high iso kamera have, how fast Processing is not in my interest at all anymore.
Thanks for the video. 👏
I love that D200! I hear you there regarding that GX85. Although I've grown to love micro four thirds cameras, there was something about their 16mp sensor that I never enjoyed. Maybe I'll revisit that camera in the near future. Thanks for your comment!
Legend. That creek scene... LOL
I think these high resolution DSLRs probably provide best value today. My choice in that category is Canon's 5DsR.
Those high megapixel canon DSLR cameras have always interested me! I bet the imaging is beyond immaculate!
@otes It's solid. Depending on the nature of the subject matter, both my Sigma sd Quattro and my older Sigma SD1 Merrill can give the 51MP Canon 5DsR a run for its money with their respective 20MP and 15MP. At the current price point though, there is hardly more resolution for the dollar on the market than the 5DsR. And EF lenses are plenty and cheap. I can only highly recommend that setup.
Been thinking about the D800e as well. I liked minty cameras so it's still a bit expensive, roughly 600-700 dollars in Europe. They appear to be a bit rare as well (in comparison to D800s). The D800E also has the best shutter sound of all Nikon DSLRs imo!
Used to have a Z7 too and liked it image quality wise. But in terms of fun, I dislike the Zs, even the ZF I currently own. The shutter sound is a big turn off. Just feels so dead, like those of Sony cameras. Hoping for a change in the Z6iii but I expect they recycle the shutter mechanism again. Luckily, I have got a D50, D200, D610 and a D5 to turn to when I want to enjoy shooting. ;-)
Thanks for this comment! Love that camera collection!
Even though D800E 'has the best shutter sound', the shutter mechanism is not as good as that of D810.. you can get blur picture when use slower shutter speed due to mirror movement inside d800e's shutter mechanism.
@@user-ly2pz1vt5r Very good point, I did not know that. I think I'd go the D800E regardless. Shutter shock is a problem with any camera above 24MP. Mirrorless is much better in this area, at least when there is ibis.
contrast on video -10. otherwise great!!
He sold his Z7 for a D800E? 😮 The Z7 is far better camera. This I can say a former owner of a D810.
No duh. He explained it in the video..
@@sk8termafia69 yes, duh. i may not agree with his choice, but those lenses are his preference. hell, i kept my 105mn f2 dc. for a certain look i will lease a d850 or d810.
I agree, but we are all different. I wasnt getting on with my old Nikon D7100. I bought a Fuji X-T20 for around £300 and instantly fell in love. Some get on with one camera, others another. Maybe it's ergonomics, colour science, weight, whatever. Just enjoy what you have.
@@rogerhampton2844 that 7200 didnt have a good focus array. nikon cheaped out on that. yes, the xt20 was the better option.
I just sold a Z7 for a D810. Feels like I discovered photography again.
