D800E User Thread


Since there isn't a D800E thread yet, may I start one?

Sorry to start off by the following senseless shot - but they are to test the resolution and have no artistic value whatsoever!

Shot is taken with 14-24mm on a tripod and triggered with remote cable. ISO 100, f/16, 20 sec. Shot in RAW and no adjustments were made except as otherwise indicated.

#1: Resized, converted to JPEG, and added the "green box".

#2: Cropped to approximately the size indicated in the green box in #1.

#3: Sharpened using LR4.

p.s. Sorry if it was your boxers which was shown here. I just randomly chose a spot.

Waahh....any sharper and you will be able to read the meter display on the electrical box!

This thread is pure poison!! :bigeyes:
 

A skilled photographer should be able to use the D800 for events and weddings. If cannot handle the demands, he/she may still get the older D700 or D3s or wait until the D4 price come down a bit.

Wah? Until so djia lutz huh? If we want to use D800E to shoot event or wedding how?

it has got nothing to do with whether it is a D800 or not .... it is all about the photos, no one is going to look at your gear and be impressed by it ....
 

Can any of the guru post more night shot photo taken by D800E😁

In my opinion don't need to be that skillful to use it. If handholding technique is really bad, just shoot a bit faster and sacrifice a bit of ISO. Also I understand that any noticeable increase in noise or camera shake would disappear if downsized to D700's resolution. In other words, if the shots are good keep them at full 36 MP, if not downsize and you are still no worse than having a D700. At the end of the day, your overall portfolio would have a higher resolution on average than a D700's with nothing lost in other attributes. Makes sense?

Oops shoot with Full HD video ha ha
 

Good advice which my pro friend also gave me. The D800/e can be handheld at higher speed/iso. Moreover one can use LV shooting to minimize mirror slap. At worse, downsample to 12mpx. Despite being a marksman in NS, have to to relearn breathing skills again to get lower iso for that beautiful grain.

Since you see it that way, perhaps this link might be for you then

My point is ....if d7k users without too much hassle, are already getting sharp pictures on their units which has the same pixel density as a d800, the latter
should not fare any worse. Moreover the d800 has and is aided by a more robust and quicker shutter.
