The ultimate attention to detail. What does it take to render images perfectly. Sharp resolution. Subtle textures. Color fidelity. Tones so nuanced that the viewer wants to reach out and touch them. All of this is possible with the D800E Nikons newest FX-format DSLR. Its groundbreaking 36.3 megapixels and the powerful EXPEED 3 image-processing engine offer imaging potential that rivals some of the best studio cameras.
Wonderful camera for landscapes and general shoots

Posted by: zggd from Oregon on 10/26/2012Great camera for landscapes and general shooting needs. High res allows for large prints and tight crops. Not good for action and sports due to low frame rate--only 4 frames/sec. Rugged and well designed.

Failed to impress
1
Posted by: LuvMicro from NC on 10/23/2012Hoped the Nikon 800E would yield sharper pictures vs the 800, sadly it failed to impress. I mostly take micro shots. None of my shots are usable, even on a tripod, pro lens, daylight, and no wind...the ideal shooting conditions. It also has difficulty focusing half the time.
I don't shoot video much, but I did like the quality. Though, I think one can get the same quality for less $.
As a dedicated nikon user, I wish this camera lived up to the hype so I could save money on a pro cam. Since the camera had difficulty focusing and pictures were a bit fuzzy, it went back. I noticed the camera I ordered came from best buy return center, so I can't say it was fresh when it arrived. Since best buy gave me grief about the return even though they erroneously sent the wrong camera and then had to wait months till the 800e was in stock, I will likely take my business elsewhere.

Looks like a great camera with some serious issues

Posted by: robnic from colorado on 10/13/2012I was really looking forward to updating my camera but $3,300.00 is way too much for something that can't focus correctly when using the spot focus.

I've had it about a month and am very pleased!

Posted by: Indecline from Hood River, OR on 09/28/2012I've been very pleased with it. It has made my D3s a backup camera. I never thought that would happen. The quality of the photos is amazing - the prints are excellent.

Nikon's Best yet, image quality is unsurpassed
5
Posted by: PhranklySpeaking from Mission Viejo, CA on 09/15/2012I am a serious amateur who upgraded from a Nikon D300 to this beauty 3 days prior to leaving for Glacier National Park. After a week and 1200 images, I can honestly say my new D800e has exceeded my expectations. I shot mostly landscapes with a 24-70 2.8 Nikon lens. A few times when I saw wildlife, There was no time to switch to my telephoto so I just made the shot anyway. I was completely taken by surprise to see how clear a heavily cropped and blown-up image was! Folks, there's a reason the files are huge...there is a TON of resolution at 36mp! Be prepared to increase your memory card and photo storage drive sizes to handle the D800e, but in my view it is very much worth it.

I waited years and it was worth it!
5
Posted by: slpami from Overland Park, KS on 08/29/2012I've waited patiently for this camera (my old one is D200 purchased new) and when it arrived I couldn't wait to start shooting. The quality of the photographs is exceptional, the ease of use nothing short of lovely. Haven't done much with the video yet, but my customers are thoroughly pleased with my upgrade.

It's like catching a Great White ....
5
Posted by: OlePro from Port Orange, FL on 08/29/2012After waiting 31/2 months for my D800E I must say it was worth the wait. I have been shooting with Nikon professionally for over forty years, and this is a crowing achievement (maybe). I learned on a 4x5 view camera, and later a 'basic' Nikon F. I have to say I still love the purity of the basic camera, where you have to think before you release the shutter and you really 'make a photograph'. When it takes an almost 450 page manual to explain all the functions, features and magic (as the D800E does) it seems like technology has gone way too far .. but then again, I love my new D800E .. don't ask why .. I just do. When a secure knowledge of photography is coupled with this technological masterpiece, magic can and does happen. This is not a camera for beginners, or rich hobbyists, but a tool for those willing to make the effort to understand it, and utilize the brilliance contained within.

Stunning images!
5
Posted by: ErickHI from Honolulu, HI on 08/09/2012I have never seem photos with this much detail from any DSLR. The images are absolutely incredible. I've been shooting portraits the last few weeks with the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, this lens has never created images with such stunning detail and background separation. If you get the Nikon D800/D800e you will not be disappointed, it is a game changer.

Huge leap over the D700
5
Posted by: Drewbroo from Tucson AZ on 08/02/2012I am coming from a D700, and got this to take my photography to the next level. (Time lapse, Video Etc, massive resolution for awesome cropping.) And the D800E exceeded all of my exceptions, the time lapse feature was so easy to use, the 1080P video looks great, the 36 MP resolution looks incredibly sharp when paired with my 28mm 1.8, and 180mm 2.8. I am a happy camper here. Mine came with the firmware update, so no early release issues.

The best DSLR yet
5
Posted by: Tayvin from Dallas on 08/01/2012I had high hopes for this camera and it has already produced images that will rival any MF camera. The sharpness is wonderful, but the DR will amaze you! Two years ago I never would've believed DSLR technology would come this far this quickly? I honestly wasn't excited about having to deal with 36MP, but I'm converted now. It's really nice to have all this extra room to work with or crop, if you decide.
One thing I wish Nikon would've done is to have the control panel display the ISO setting by default. I do not like having to hit the ISO button to check. I'm not a high ISO guy so I couldn't tell you how it does in low light?
I'm going to buy two more of these bodies when they become available. Otherwise, this is the best camera I've ever owned. 9 out 10 rating
