Nikon has just announced the D810, a new DSLR which replaces both the D800 and its sibling, the D800E.
The D810 still sports a 36.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor similar to the one on the D800/D800E but Nikon claims that the sensor has been redesigned and now comes without an optical low pass filter (OLPF).
While the D800E itself already had a modified OLPF that cancelled out the effect of the filter, the D810 follows the current trend of new Nikon DSLRs and removes the OLPF altogether to capture the maximum amount of detail possible with the sensor.
Externally, the D810 looks much like its predecessors except that the shape of the handgrip has been redesigned to allow the fingers to wrap around the grip better.
Thanks to the new EXPEED 4 image processor, the D810 has an expanded ISO range of 64-12,800 and an expanded ISO boost range of ISO 32 and ISO 51,200.
Nikon claims to have improved the autofocus and metering and even added a “clarity” option in the Picture Control settings.
While the 3.2in LCD screen on the back is the same size as on the D800/D800E, the D810’s LCD resolution has been increased to a 1,229k-dot screen.
The D810 also features a new shutter mechanism with a better mirror sequencer/balancer unit which is said to minimise vibration during shooting.
Video recording has also been improved slightly, with the ability to shoot 1080p video at up to 60-frames-per-second and a Flat Picture Control profile added so that video editors can get the most flexible control over the "look" of the video during post-production.
The D810 is slated to be released in mid-July 2014 and in the United States, has a recommended retail price of US$3,299.95 (about RM10,600). Local pricing has yet to be set at press time.
