Nikon D800 Review:

The Nikon D800 sets the new standard for "Broadcast Quality" HD video and audio in a next-generation, full-frame digital SLR from Nikon. Like the D600, it has vastly improved audio recording capability, too. We would highly recommend Nikon's optional ME-1 stereo mini shotgun microphone that delivers great fidelty, and fits snugly in the hot shoe.

April 25, 2024: Check out today's best pricing from Amazon on the Nikon ME-1 shotgun mic.

The Nikon D800 has a 36.3 MP CMOS FX format sensor capable of producing a 7,360 x 4,912 pixel image (21.02 by 14.03 inch photographic print at 350 dpi), as well as, true HD video (30fps at 1920 x 1080).

The D800 creates huge file size images in high-resolution mode, and can still fire 4 frames per second -- so, if you need to make gigantic prints this is your camera!

Like the Nikon D600, the D800 is also the perfect solution for serious photographers and videographers who can now finally get all the great Nikon metering, focus control, and exposure assistance AND ALSO the full-frame performance capability from their pristine Nikon lenses.

We have found some great pricing for the D800, both as a kit and as body only. See the red box below for the the up-to-the-minute best prices on the Nikon D800.
