Nikon D800 Digital SLR Camera
The D800 from Lightbulb Rentals combines the capabilities of a high-resolution DSLR with broadcast-quality video performance. At its core is a 36.3MP FX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 3 image-processing engine, ensuring exceptional still image and video quality. The camera features an optical low-pass filter to minimize false color and moiré effects, and offers an ISO range of 100-6400, expandable to ISO 50-25600 equivalent, facilitating shooting in various lighting conditions. Its 14-bit A/D conversion and 16-bit image processing further enhance image fidelity.
Compatible with a wide range of NIKKOR lenses, including DX and AF-S lenses, and leveraging Nikon Speedlights for superior flash capabilities, the D800 is versatile for diverse photographic needs. The Advanced Scene Recognition System with a 91k-pixel RGB sensor ensures precise color reproduction and supports accurate autofocus, auto exposure, and i-TTL flash exposure in complex lighting scenarios. Features like face detection, detailed scene analysis, and auto-area AF enhance focusing accuracy, especially in 3D-tracking mode.
Nikon’s i-TTL flash system delivers balanced flash exposures when used with compatible Speedlights, complemented by a built-in pop-up flash for spontaneous shooting. The camera’s auto white balance adapts to various shooting conditions, while the Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor enables sharp focus even in low-light conditions, supported by four AF-area modes for versatile shooting scenarios.
For HD video recording, the D800 captures broadcast-quality video in 1080/30p full HD, offering both FX and DX movie formats. The FX format provides a shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh, while the DX format replicates the image area of 35mm movie film. Additional video capabilities include live view operation, high-fidelity stereo audio recording via an external mic, and time-lapse photography that can be saved as a movie file. Flicker reduction and customizable settings further enhance video creativity and expression.
Overall, the Nikon D800 excels as a hybrid DSLR, offering exceptional still photography and broadcast-quality video capabilities in a single, versatile package.
