But, I'm not looking for critical differences, on any level...
I agree, no need for any wads to get in any knots here.. I was merely saying the optics and post made a lot of differences in the example shots. Just as when the 800 line came out. I would like to think people try and display an image they think represents the camera's abilities... so.....
As I was Taking this Pic My buddy Dan Dropped his New D810 with a new Nikon 24-70 right behind me in the Drink, and to make it worse it hit a rock first before going under water
And Broke the Singh-Ray 77mm LB ColorCombo Polarizer.
many things is better but there are no signal improvements at 25600iso compared to d800
resolution wise you need a tripod, Otus and view in 100-200% to se any difference, and some times to the worse regarding artifacts. There are a red spill over and moire visible where you don't want it. The red spill over is caused by Adobe Standard profile for D810, no problems in for example Camera Neutral. This is my second day with the camera, returning

...Question about colors. Does anybody notice a difference in the actual image output colors between D800 and D810? Like, skin tones, etc...? I have never liked skin tones from the D800 at all, and I was never able to produce skin tones like the above samples no matter what I did to edit the photos.
there are no problems with skin tones what ever if you know to handle profiles, color space and conversion
this is a myth spread by lack of knowledge, D800-D810 has the best chance to reproduce colors, shades/ nuances because of the best color depth there are out there
You guys that are using this camera or the D800 for portraits, what do you do if you shoot really shallow dof and compose the shot with your subject really off center? The cross points are all in the middle. I'm thinking of switching from a Canon 5DIII and they have cross points on the outer part of the frame. In my experience, focus/recomposing tends to shift focus when really shallow.
D800 outer points seemed pretty good for locking on faces. 5d3 has significant focus delays the D800/D810/5d2/etc. do not have in middling/lower light. D800 tracks better than the 5d3, probably because of face recognition.

The 5D2 was terrible to me. Only the center most point was the most accurate, and in lower light I always had terrible time focusing. The 5D3 is much better but still not as sensitive as I would like. I'm not really concerned about tracking though that is nice to have for the occasional wedding. My biggest concern was the off center compositions shooting very shallow. Thanks for the response!

You need compensation for recompose at close distance if your subject didn't move need practice for that. I use manual focus in that case, as a advantage that no need for focus recompose. and as a matter of case, I almost only use manual focus for my family. since you are talking about MFD, you should be able to see focus well.
