Luminous landscape nikon d8101/21/2024 ![]() Now we may be able to see a much greater difference in the detail-rendering abilities of this model and the D800 than we did between the D800 and the D800E. The removal of what was left of the AA and low pass filters is certainly a significant move. ![]() ![]() The D810's sensor lacks an OLPF for optimal resolution - this is in contrast to the D800E, which had the effect of its OLPF 'canceled'. Perhaps Nikon will help to relieve the pressure on manufacturers of 10-stop ND filters, as soon landscapers will be able to achieve the same effects with less powerful and more common versions – and less infrared-tinting too! Now we can more easily use fast aperture lenses wide open in daylight hours to enjoy the dramatic separation of extremely shallow depth of field and selective focusing. With this step Nikon puts some distance between itself and the rest of the industry – as well as, crucially, between its DSLRs and the capabilities of the compact system camera – not all of which have yet been blessed with a proper ISO 100 setting. My goodness, wasn’t it hard enough to get Nikon to bring down its native ISO settings to 100? But now we have a non-expansion mode that allows ISO 64. No, not that it can be set at ISO 12,800, but that for once we are shifting down a gear into the territory of Kodachrome and high resolution films. The change that first grabbed my attention, and that which still excites me most, is the D810’s ISO range. In the D810 though there are some serious strides of progress, and while they may not quicken the pulse of those who study spec sheets, those who spend time in the field with these products may appreciate more fully their use and meaning. They are equally-often considered a little dull and uninteresting by journalists and photographers alike – who naturally crave giant leaps and new technological territories. Tandem models will always amalgamate, then into X cameras, and now into the D810.Īmalgamations are often less obviously exciting, because they contain less that is new. I knew that what we all wanted, and would eventually get, was both. It annoyed me when Nikon used to produce H and S versions of its pro-end bodies, offering either resolution or speed. I’ve never been a fan of this-one-or-that-one products, as history has proved that when a company produces twins it is because it can’t get something right or can’t make up its mind. Wait for the Compromising to be Overįor me it was enough that there were two versions of the D800 launched at the same time. To wait for a better view of what the issues were going to be. Now, with all the benefits that hindsight brings, perhaps we can all see that fact alone should have alerted us to wait a while. ![]() The pixel-count of the Nikon D800/E was ground breaking when the cameras were launched in early 2012. But sometimes the presence of new technology, new ideas or new concepts is well enough concealed below a layer of trust and excitement that we can become early adopters without realizing. It is usually easy enough to avoid becoming an early adopter by simply not buying anything when it first comes out. Unkind people might say that ‘early adopter’ is a polite way of saying ‘guinea-pig’. The same principle applies to new technology - we all appreciate the cost of being one of those people the electronics industry flatters as ‘progressive’ and ‘advanced’ by labeling them ‘early adopter’. ![]()
