In this detailed video I discuss the Nikon D800. Showing the operation of the camera, real world use and thoughts, and some image quality tests and comparisons. I also cover areas to look at (Good and bad) and some of my own experiences with the camera.
The D800 is often overlooked at a truly affordable full frame camera on the used market, with rock bottom prices, a 36 megapixel sensor that is still very competitive, durable mag alloy body. Is the D800 the new D700? In many ways this is the camera to get, over the D700, as it offers a 100% viewfinder, dual memory slots, a better sensor for low light and dynamic range, in a lighter body.
This video is a real world, hands on experience, which clearly points out the stronger areas, and the weaker ones. This isn't a typical "talking head" video, raving about how magnificent the camera is/love letter; it's a balanced guide showing you everything you need to know about the camera, so you can make a decision to see if it will work for you. I've also included notable issues such as the outer AF sensor problem, some complaints about the frame cracking.

These videos are very time consuming to make and I do so to help people find what gear that might work for them, even older items which can often be of interest. They take a lot longer to make, that's why many people do quick talking head videos, and tell you how amazing something is - it's a lot easier to do that. I make videos to inform people, and give them in depth information - not hype, anti-influencer style!
Or you can use the affiliate links to Amazon, which help fund the cost of making these videos. That helps quite a lot, thank you to everyone who is helping.
