Grain of salt, this is coming from a D800E shooter considering the upgrade to a D810.
What particularly of Nikon's "technology" do you like? and how would it be applicable to you. For instance, the D8(1)0 I think will have better DR than the 6D, but not necessarily better high ISO performance. Also what about the 5Dmkiii, which has comparable AF (better than D800?), resolution, high ISO (better than D800?).
36MP in my experience is Damn taxing on phase detect AF systems, and frankly, can be annoying.
Another thing to consider, lens wise, is that Nikon doesn't make an 85/1.2 and their 135 is too old and the screw drive AF too sloppy to be considered viable for a D810. The sigma and Rok are available in anything of course. On the plus side for lenses. On a budget, the f/1.8 G lenses (28,35,50,85) are all good, particularly for the price. On the plus side disregarding price, there cool Nikon things like the 14-24, 58/1.4G....Show more →
Thanks for the honest assessment! I personally like the advancements in the sensor technology in the D810. Besides the much higher resolution (compared to the 6D), I'm fascinated by the removal of the OLPF and AA filters. I think this really brings out the full potential of the current lens offerings in todays world. This intrigues me to the core, yet, I'm curious to see how it actually performs in the real world.
I'm sure I probably don't need more sharpness than I already have with my current system, but I think I've become a bit of a tech snob in wanting to see the full potential of lens/body combinations.
Another thing that attracts me is the autofocus. 6D is great for stills, landscapes, portrait, but sometimes I feel like it's a bit too limited. I have considered upgrading to a 5d Mark iii, but I feel like when you compare the D810 to the 5Dm3, the D810 has a lot more to offer.
Can you expound on the phase detect issue? Do you think the faster Expeed processor could resolve such things?
