Just wondering what thoughts others have who have just recently jumped from the D700 to D810. In particular, how do you find the high ISO of the D700 vs D810?
I finally jumped because it seems that Nikon isn't going to pull another rabbit out of the hat. D700 was pretty much a smaller D3. I would have really liked to have seen a Dxxx body with the internals of the D4/D4s.
In terms of high ISO, I find it disappointing. After 6+ years, I would have expected much better and cleaner results. As it, it feels like the ISO 6400 on the D810 is the same, if not a little more noisy than the D700. This is where 36MP fails, IMO, and at least for me, is overkill. I was plenty happy with 12MP.
The quieter shutter, and ISO64 are a welcome change though. Now I can take more shots at f/2 or wider without maxing out the shutter speed. Video is nice, but it's also not my primary focus when taking pictures....Show more →
The D800/E and the D810 are easily 1 stop better at high ISO than the D700. I know as I have used all 4 cameras, D700, then D800, then D800E and now the D810. I think you might be looking at the D700 through rose coloured glasses. The D700 was a great camera for it's time, but I don't miss the D700 at all now.
