Digital Camera World - UK (2019-12)

Continuing the specification changes,
the D810 received a new shutter and
mirror box mechanism to reduce
vibration and give a steadier
viewfinder image, for better auto-
focusing and sharper images.

Image quality
Images from the D810 render in
pleasant, vibrant colours, with a
natural white balance when the Auto
setting is used. Good exposures are
produced in most conditions when
the Matrix metering system is
employed. Noise is controlled well,
with a finer texture than produced
on images from the D800. Getting
the best results from the D810
often require it to be mounted on a
tripod, using the optimum aperture.

Verdict
The Nikon D810 is an excellent
camera that is well-suited to
landscape, still-life and macro
applications, yet is also capable
of delivering superb sport, action
and wildlife photographs.

the amazing features of this

TRADE IN YOUR

D810 WITH MPB

The D810 is a cracking

camera, but you may be

tempted by the more recent

D850. It’s a remarkable

DSLR that delivers high

resolution, high-speed

shooting and big value.

Why not use MPB to trade

up? We’ll check over your

gear to confirm its actual

condition, applying one

of five condition ratings:

• Like new – unboxed,
  unused or lightly used;


• Excellent – minimal signs
  of wear, otherwise pristine;


• Good – fair amount of
  use, but well-kept;
  
  
  • Well used – significant
    use, with signs of normal
    wear and tear;
  
  
  • Heavily used – clear
    signs of wear and tear,
    but still works a treat.

BUILD A NIKON D850

SYSTEM WITH MPB...

If you already own a D810,

you’ll have a selection of

lenses and accessories. But

why stop there? With a huge

stock of Nikon and Nikon-fit

equipment, MPB can help

you develop your camera

system further.

Thanks to the D810’s pixel count, there’s lots

of detail. As there’s no anti-aliasing filter,

images look sharp from the camera.

Shooting at f/2.8 at 150mm has restricted

depth of field well, but there’s still plenty

of detail in this ISO 100 shot.
