Nikon D810 Real World Review

When Nikon announced the D810 many people thought it was simply a minor update to the D800. The truth of the matter is that it was a very nice evolution of an already nice camera.
It's added more FPS, better focus, refined buttons, higher and lower ISO and much more.

Personally I was not a fan of the original D800. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice camera but it had some issues for me. First I thought the files were to large because of the 36 Mega Pixels. Each 14 bit RAW Uncompressed file was 75 megs on my card. To be honest even if they did offer me the RAW S I would not have used it at the time.

One of the main issues I had with the D800 was the fact that the ISO topped out at 6400. At the time it seemed like even lesser cameras could shoot in lower light situations. I think one of the main reasons behind this was the fact that Nikon saw this as a studio type camera. But in this day and age you really want an all around great cameras wether it's in the studio or on location in low light.

Hand on field test are highly underrated. Seriously Jarred - awesome job and a great review of this little beast of a camera. Keep up the excellent work!

[KyTrys]

To be honest this video is by far the best review you have done. Some of those photos are absolutely stunning. I love the direction you are going!

[Megabean]

This video has set the bar higher for your channel, bravo to the fro! 

[RobertNZ]

Yup, I like this kind of review ... for the same reason I enjoy the DigitalRev reviews. They're out-and-about, real world stuff .... highly engaging! Are we likely to see more out-and- about stuff, Fro? I'm sure we wont expect you to travel the world every week ... local is great :D

Man it's been fun to see this channel evolve over the years!  This is probably your best effort to date...well done!

[Ruffffrider]

After watching this, I am convinced that I will be upgrading from my D7000 to a D810 come Xmas. This review was sick sick sick. Many thanks Fro 👍👊

[SpencerLupul]

This is one of your best vids to date Jared, Damn!

[stuartwatson]

Great review, as others have already said. Good work Jared end and Stephen. Look forward to seeing some out on the streets of Philly videos!

Wow, this review was awesome. and from reading some of the comments i see i'm not the only one who loved it. I guess it was the powerful combination of : great technical info (lots of specs that give us a precise idea about the d810), shooting tips( use your bag for stability, offer money and photos to the break ddancers) and being out there in the street shooting, and encountering people. i really love your channel, never miss a show, but i must say this episode was special.

Very good Jared, this kind of reviews I think are the best ways to show the capabilities of the cameras, do more of them.

[GrzegorzBorysPhoto]

I hope you enjoyed Warsaw and Poland, really happy to see a vid from you made here. Thx for the insight on the D810!

[blckt]

Jared, i've always watched camera reviews and i've learn a lot of things from it, but your videos where always the more reliable to me. Congratulations, you rock!

This is the coolest review I ever seen. Good work.

[surrealchemist]

Its kinda a shame that I have been ignoring this channel for a while because of all the teaser videos and click bait type things. I almost passed this one up but it goes into some good detail. This is the kind of thing I originally signed up for this channel when I was first getting serious about photography as a hobby. DRTV and Matt Granger don't really use the heavy push to try to get views so I always look forward to those like I used to look forward to this channel. 

[simitometi]

Woah, wasn't expecting this. Definitely your best review yet! You just set the bar higher your channel Fro.
PS Glad to see you left the ego at home.

[killjoyshidae]

I must say, your videos have improved tremendously, and they still are improving for the better! I really enjoyed this review, and I hope more success come to your future! :)

[MarioDiLeonardo]

Well, well, well done, Jared. The first review of that camera that I didn't bored me. Best of all: it wasn't fonboy-ish and finally I could see some images coming out of it without the weird colors that I witness a lot by a couple of other Nikon shooters. Now I'm convinced that it's the user not the camera who does this. 

[ldyates]

One of your best reviews Jared.  Very helpful... I'm sold!

[rickytrix]

this is what you need. this kind of reviews

[photographerjonathan]

I have to give you credit when credit is do, enjoyed the video, nice job, it's nice to see you acting like an intelligent person speaking to adults without any un needed junior high school antics, and judging by the other comments, I think your viewers agree that this was one of your best videos, I just wish you did some night time high ISO shots, the D810 is a really sweet camera, the image quality looks top notch, it's probably the best full frame camera on the market, I just wish Nikon put out the same camera in a mirrorless that was 400 grams lighter, and with a fully articulating touch screen, when you were shooting the video I thought to bad he doesn't have the Tamron 24/70 f2.8 with VC you could've had image stabilization, also I have shot my entire photography life without a vertical grip, and I am totally comfortable without one, and prefer to not have the extra weight and size, I would rather just carry an extra battery around
