I recently sold my D800 body and replaced it with the Nikon D810. I do not typically upgrade cameras 
this quickly but I hoped that the Nikon D810 would be a little more refined in certain respects than the D800. 

So far this has proven to be the case.

UPDATE 8-11-2014 Spent two weeks shooting landscapes and wildlife in Maine. 

The new group auto focus setting was amazing for shots of birds. The focus tracking was amazing 
and I was able to secure the best eagle pictures I have ever taken and all the credit goes to the D810. 
My D200, D800 and even D4 would have had trouble tracking these subjects. The auto focus improvements 
are extremely substantial and have immediate real world benefits.

The big headline to me regarding the D810 is the shutter and mirror assembly. The sound of the camera 

is completely different than the D800 or the D4 for that matter. The Nikon D810 sounds like there has been 
a lot of work done on damping the mechanical vibrations that occur when the shutter is tripped. In my initial 
testing I found that with the Nikkor 105VR Micro that there was a noticeable reduction in the slight blur that 
I had always attributed to mirror slap on the D800. Holding the camera when it triggers, one feels less bounce 
going on inside the body.

UPDATE 7-23-2013 Shooting macro with the 105VR I definitely saw an improvement in focus acuity and it seemed 

that the combination of improved focus and VR yielded noticeably better results than the D800.

Having had a D800 and going through the experience of having to return several due to the "left focus issue

before I found a good one, it was one of the first things I tested. I am happy to report that I found no evidence 
of variability in focus across the range of focus points.Read more ›

I have a D800 and have just purchased the D810. I was a bit nervous from reading "previews" 
that the difference in performance between the two bodies were not enough to justify the purchase 
of this new body. I am glad to say that at least for me, I am very happy and have not touched my D800 
except once since purchase. The differences are subtle, but they make the package. It's sort of like driving 
a Toyota Camry, and then jumping into a Lexus. You still get there, and the Camry's not bad, but the Lexus 
just makes the drive so much better.
First of all, and I think most important of all is the autofocus is so much quicker. I was demonstrating it to my 

friend by just turning the camera to anything and press the shutter and it instantly focus and takes the picture. 
I set the menu mode for shutter release on focus only. On the D800, you will get the focus just a bit slower. 
Although this may not sound like a big difference, it allows me to get "that" picture with more confidence. 
I was never able to to use autofocus "c" mode to follow a flying bird because it is just not fast enough, 
or maybe I am not good enough of a photographer. However, on the D810, I was able to follow a dragonfly 
buzzing around my backyard and out of 6-7 pictures, I got 3 excellent in focus one. One of the picture looked 
like 3D because it was so clear!
The second difference, which I think is just as important to me is the improvement of ISO performance. 

I compared the noise level between ISO 800 - 12800 on both cameras. On the D800, I could definitely 
see annoying noise, even with noise reduction turned on by 1600, and by 3200, it was definitely unacceptable. 
On the Nikon D810, I could definitely see noise by 2500, and by 8000, it was definitely unacceptable.Read more ›

I upgrade from D7000 with 17-55mm F2.8 to D810 with 24-70 mm F2.8. So most of my comparison will be 
compared to my old D7000. I had Nikon D810 for couple of weeks but did not shoot much due to busy schedule 
until yesterday. I brought two kids out to play mini golf and to the play ground yesterday. Had a great time shooting 
300 photos in like 3 hours. My fast CF card is on the way so I used Transcend SDHC 32 GB Class 10 rated 18 MB/s 
write speed, I had no problem in shooting raw, lossless compressed in 14 bit photos, about 40 MB/s per photo. 
I shoot about 1 frame per second for maximum 5 photos continuously. Really impressed by the buffer of D810.

My D7000 and 17-55mm combination was good and I shoot lots of photos with it so I thought I will never have the 

desire to upgrade to full frame body. But boy I was so wrong. After yesterday, I realize the full frame bokeh and feel 
of the photo is much better than on DX body, indeed as people claimed. I used group focus most of the time since 
the kids were moving all the time. The focus was fast, got it right 97% of the time I would say. Much better than the 
single focus point of D7000 since the group focus has bigger focus area so you do not need to change focus point 
often. I use AF-ON button to focus, which is much better laid out than D7000. The AE-L/AF-L button on D7000 
is so badly designed that I found it unusable.

Other impression with the D810 is that Pixels DO matter! It makes me not afraid of cropping the photo. 

Meanwhile I believe the photos look much sharper on my screen, comparing to D7000 and 17-55mm F2.8. Yes, 
the lens and no AA filter increase the sharpness on D810, but I believe the huge chunk of pixels squeeze on 
the screen makes it look sharper too. And I feel more pixels make spot healing in PS easier too.Read more ›
