Nikon D810 Digital SLR Camera
The Nikon D810 DSLR Camera from Lightbulb Rentals stands out as a high-resolution option in Nikon’s lineup, featuring a 36.3MP FX-format CMOS sensor that lacks an Optical Low Pass Filter to maximize sharpness and detail in still images. Enhanced by the EXPEED 4 Image Processor, the camera delivers improved performance speed over its predecessor, with reduced noise across the ISO range. It achieves continuous shooting speeds of up to 5 fps in FX format and up to 7 fps in DX format, catering to both high-resolution still photography and fast-action shooting needs.
For video capabilities, the D810 offers upgraded Full HD 1080p recording at 24, 30, and 60 fps, reflecting enhanced efficiency from the processor that extends battery life to approximately 1200 shots per charge and up to 40 minutes of video recording. The native ISO sensitivity ranges from 64 to 12,800, expandable down to ISO 32 and up to ISO 51,200, ensuring strong low-light performance.
The advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus system features 51 AF points, including 15 cross-type sensors, with Group Area AF functionality that utilizes five AF points as a single group. This is beneficial for challenging lighting conditions where subjects may be difficult to track with a single AF point.
Designed with videographers in mind, the D810 supports recording in both FX and DX formats, allowing simultaneous recording to memory cards and an external recorder, with 60p output capability to an external recorder. The expanded ISO range for video (ISO 64 to 12,800, expandable to ISO 51,200) and automatic ISO adjustment in manual mode ensure smooth exposure transitions. The camera includes a built-in stereo microphone, along with ports for an external microphone and headphones, offering precise control over audio recording with selectable frequency ranges.
For creative photography, the D810 features interval and time-lapse shooting with exposure smoothing, capable of capturing up to 9,999 images per sequence. Improved Picture Control settings now include Flat Picture Control for maximum dynamic range and post-production color adjustments.
Dual media slots support both Compact Flash and SD cards, providing flexibility in storage options, while a built-in flash with i-TTL metering and a hot shoe mount accommodate additional lighting needs. The camera’s ergonomic design includes a larger grip for comfortable handling during extended shooting sessions, complemented by a secondary “i” button on the back panel for quick access to essential settings.
