The Nikon D810 is a high-resolution, semi-pro DSLR, and is the predecessor to the popular Nikon D850. Key features include:

  • Updated 36.3MP FX-format CMOS sensor

  • Faster, more accurate autofocus system

  • Improved shooting speed

  • Full HD video capture at up to 60p

36.3MP FX-Format CMOS Sensor. The D810 features an updated 36.3MP sensor with no optical low-pass filter, maximizing image sharpness. This updated sensor offers improved ISOperformance with a normal range of 64-12,800, while the EXPEED 4 processor first seen in the D4s provides 30% faster performance than the D800/800E.

Enhanced Autofocus. It’s technically the same Multi-Cam 3500-FX AF sensor seen in the D800/800E, but it’s been tweaked to give better accuracy and speed. There’s 51 AF points to choose from, with 15 being cross-type AF sensors, and the Group Area AF mode has trickled down from the D4s.

Improved Video Functionality. The D810 improves on the D800/800E’s video features with the ability to shoot Full HD 1920 × 1080 video at up to 60p. There’s now a Flat Picture Control profile for greater post-production flexibility, expanded ISO options including full 64-12,800 range and Auto ISO capability, zebra stripes, a built-in stereo microphone, and uncompressed HDMI output with simultaneous recording to memory card.

Other Notable Improvements. The D810 has an improved 3.2-inch LCD with 1,229k-dot resolution. You can use it to display the new “split-screen zoom” mode for checking focus on two different points in live view. The large optical viewfinder has an OLED info display, and you can use face detection while shooting through the OVF. Shooting speed has been improved: the D810 offers a max 5 fps in FX mode and 7 fps in DX mode (MB-D12 battery grip required for DX increase). This camera adds the highly desired S-RAW that enables 9MP image capture, as well as an electronic first-curtain shutter and redesigned mirror mechanism for minimizing shutter shock. The D810 still uses the same Nikon EN-EL15 battery that’s rated for 1,200 shots per charge, and the dual CF/SD memory card slot remains.
