What difference between Nikon D810 and Nikon D800?

8 years 5 months ago #459311 by Harper Coswell
I'm presently a Canon 60D owner and thinking about moving to Nikon.  I've heard good about both the Nikon D800 and the D810.  I know the D810 is the newer one.  What I want to know is there really that much differences worth the extra $$ for the D810?

A few things, no AA filter on the D810,  A stop better in low light, (me thinks) faster frame rate. Check DPR for a side by side....

I own a D800, if I had to buy one or the other today from scratch, I'd go with the newer D810. 

Why so serious?

You can compare the specifications side by side on nikonusa.com. You'll need to include archived models, as the D800 is no longer offered.

Effron is right about the anti-alias filter. Having just rented a D810, its low-light performance is awesome.

The D800 models I see on Amazon are more expensive than the D810, which, I might add, is currently on sale.

FYI I'm going to buy the D750. The D810 files are too large unless you have an i7 CPU with 8 cores and a whole lotta memory.
