D810 successor in the pipeline?

[Frank Fremerey]

This might be a long shot, yet, I share what I have: Just now I noticed that amazon.de and amazon.co.uk do not list the D810 any more, only market place listings.

Amazon.com lists the D810 but only the "Black Friday Bundle" with grip for ~2500 US$.

I hope the D850 will be there soon. A D500 with FX recording chip and 42 or more MP? I would not hesitate to buy her right away.

Who listens to the rumour mill? Are there more sign of the times? Or is someone here under NDA secretly testing the machine and might oracle a bit?

"Or is someone here under NDA secretly testing the machine and might oracle a bit?"

You might not understand what an NDA entails ...

[Erik Lund]

Just follow NikonRumors they have an remarkable track record of pinpointing dates and specifications.

Currently I have no idea how to handle more pixels or High ISO than the D810 but I could wish for the sensor in a D5 body but never heard that rumour,,,

Good one...

I like to see the D500 electronics & ergonomics combined with a high pixel count high iso super tonality chip like the one from the Apha 7 R2

[Erik Lund]

Please just go and get the D810 Frank You will love it, they are identical down to about 1mm,,,

Don't really know why you would like to have such a thick sensor glass to ruin the resolution,,,

I tested the D810 in parallel to the D600 and D750 and did not like her. Sure. If I did not own and love the D600 I would go get the D810 immediately. The D810 with the D500 electronics would be great also

[PedroS]

Wow, you did like most the D600 instead of the D810...
Can you elaborate?

[Frank Fremerey]

Pedro: if I was still in the 3rd generation with a D3 and a D7000 I would not hesitate to buy the D810. She is 4th generation but the best of the three current offerings D610, D750, D810 if only by a small margin. 610 and 750 are slightly better in HighISO. 750 and 810 are better in AF. The sound design of the 750 is ugly she feels more plasticky than the D600. The 810 feels better in the hand leads in ergonomics. If I was on a budget I would still choose the D600 I bought in Spring 2013 as a second body to replace the D7000 which always was unloved because her AF did not work with my fast primes.

Current used price for a next to unused D600 is between 600 and 700 Euros and you can still get the shutter replaced for free if you want. Current used price of a next to unused D810 is between 2200 and 2300 very close to the cheapest new offers at 2400 to 2500 Euro.

I still think the technological difference between a D600 and a D810 is not worth that price difference AS An UPGRADE.

I'd rather get a D500 at that point. She is phantastic. Nikons best new offering curently when it comes to  price / Performance relation. I paid the early adopter premium in May so the price with grip was the new price of the 810 without grip at that time.

What I decided instead was to buy new lenses. A new lens on the D600 gives me more joy than the old lenses on a new D810. I can wait for the successor and put the 2500 aside.

Does that answer your question?

[Erik Lund]

Frank your entitled to keep you D600


But it is beaten in all aspects by the D810 and by a fair margin, what ever generation you call it or whatever you add up the apples or oranges upgrade or not. The D810 is in whole other league of cameras.

[John G]

Just stating a old wish, that the New Model has a full support for a SD UHS II Card.

[PedroS]

Does that answer your question?

Thanks for answering, but as Erik said, they cannot be compared.
Never mind, use what serves you best, and I do agree, the D500 is something... get it!

[Frank Fremerey]

Frank your entitled to keep you D600

Thank you & you are entiteled to love your D810!!!

I want XQD cards, two of them
I want the D5/500 AF
I want The D5/D500 WB
I want D5/D500 ISO performance
I want native ISO 25
I want a decent microphone decoupling
I want the F6/D500 ground glass to focus MF lenses like in the old times
I want a stunnig tonality in soft light, esp. for purple flowers and very soft gradients in blueish greens

In short: I want a 5th or 5th & a half generation FX camera

[Frank Fremerey]

I do agree, the D500 is something... get it!

I got the D3, the D600 & the D500. I am pretty well served for the moment.

[Erik Lund]

You forgot 42MP
