Yes, I am concerned about something which, on my display calibrated approximately to show me how images will print, seems very noticeable - but if your screen is less contrasty or darker the issue might not even be visible. It prompted me to take a photo sample with my 5d3 to compare the shadows. Since it's a Canon photo and this is the D810 thread, I'll just leave the link rather than a direct image.
ISO16000 5d3 dropped down by 0.15 stops to come closer to matching the D810 estimated ISO 14k. Lightroom 4, color NR 25, luminance 0.

The output seems similar to me, but the bottom left edge of the D810 file is definitely more intense to my eyes.
In either case, the result is probably about a stop better than my 5d2s in this regard.
I'm not trying to be a downer. I really want this camera to do better. I want technology improvements, I am happy when I see visible improvements, but I try to not get biased by hoping or assuming things are better with each update....Show more →
Well, the D810 is better. As you can see from my posted results, the D810 does not suffer any amp glow at ISO6400 whereas the D800/E certainly did.
In a way, all of my scrutiny and research comes down to trying to make the best use of my limited funds. If I could afford the best and had someone else carry my stuff around all the time, I'd just get 1dx/d4s/etc. and not worry about how the less expensive cameras perform.
