Nikon D810 - how good is it?

The Nikon D810 is the successor to both the D800 and D800E cameras. With a new 36-megapixel, the D810 remains the highest resolution 35mm size digital SLR camera in the world. Outwardly, the Nikon D810 is very similar to the D800/E. It features a redesigned, deeper and narrower hand-grip, while the overall shape of the camera body is as rounded and streamlined as its predecessor, with near identical dimensions. Weighing in at 880 grams the D810 is very slightly lighter, feeling reassuringly hefty in your hand.

Nikon D810 is a 36.3 mega pixel camera give excellent images that is expected from a DSLR camera. For professionals it will not disappoint from its fine images. Its body is made up of magnesium alloy making bulkier look, but still not too heavy. Handling this camera is good as it provides front and rear grip at right side of it. D810 has 3.2 inch display screen size, resolution is 1.23 million dots. Its contrast is also good. There's a new "Live View" mode which lets you to zoom at two different areas on screen that good while shooting rather than taking images.

Any camera can only be as good as its user. Picture quality depends on the photographer's skill. The camera is only a tool. The D810 is one helluva tool!

It's pretty good. Read reviews.

Thank you for all of your answers. I appreciate your time and the balanced viewpoints.

The Nikon D810 has 30 megapixels. Also, the Nikon D810 has a fast CPU, and alot of manual settings.

It like asking how is this Snap-On Phillips screwdriver. It's great until you need to drive a nail or you need flat head screwdriver. How is it? To do what? For the most part it's an awesome camera with 36 megapixels. This gives great detail, so great that it'll out resolve most of Nikon's lenses. Therefore you'll need to use their top-of-the-line lenses with the D810. It great for most things except the D4 or D4s are better for sports and wildlife. If you are in situations where you need to quickly edit your images, the 200MB files generated by the D810 will slow your workflow down unless you've got a fast computer. If you shoot at very high ISOs, you should consider a camera with a lower number of pixels. With the D810 you gain a lot of resolution, but sacrifice high-ISO performance to do so.
There was a white dot problem when taking long exposures, but I understand that to have been address and fixed by Nikon.
For me, I'd buy the D810 unless I needed better high-ISO performance or if I was shooting NFL MLB games. But for landscapes, portraits, still life, macro it's the best on the market in a full-frame 35mm format DSLR. However, with that said, I wouldn't trade in my Pentax 645 DSLR to get one. Take a look at the 645D and compare the cost of the body and lenses with what Nikon system would cost. If you're not doing sports (the 645D is only 1.1 frames per second) then you'll love the Pentax 645D at 40MP or the 645Z at 50MP.

Its only as good as the person using it. Always remember this: "It isn't the camera its the photographer."

The results achieved with any camera are totally dependent on the photographer's knowledge of light, composition, exposure, depth of field, posing (if shooting models) and their skill in actually using that knowledge. If you are lacking in any or all of these components of photography don't expect the Nikon D810 to produce any better results than you're getting now.

Excellent. Read these reviews.
