Product Description
Product Description
The D800E is a specialized product designed with one thing in mind, pure definition. The D800E incorporates an optical low pass filter (OLPF) without anti-aliasing properties to facilitate the sharpest images possible and is a great option for RAW shooters who are in a position to control light, distance and their subject to the degree where they can mitigate the risk of moiré and any false color.1-Year Limited Warranty.
From the Manufacturer
The Nikon D800E
The Ultimate Attention to Detail
The D800E is a specialized camera that differs from the D800 in just one way yet requires some extra care to get optimal results. Use the information below to determine if the D800 or D800E is right for you.
D800 and D800E
Which is right for you?
Every Nikon DSLR camera uses an optical low pass filter (OLPF) in front of its sensor to slightly blur the image at a pixel level in order to reduce the occurrence of false colors and moiré that can appear when shooting repetitive and/or fine patterns. For the vast majority of photographers, the D800 provides an ideal balance between sharpness and effectively prevented moiré and false color, ideal for shooting using all file formats. D800E is a specialized camera that removes the "effect" of the OLPF, which results in a slight gain in sharpness and resolution and is recommended for studio and still life professionals but carries an increased possibility that moiré and false color will appear.
D800 D800E Strikes an ideal balance between sharpness and preventing the occurrence of false color and moiré for consistent performance Slight increase in sharpness and resolution with increased occurrence of false color and moiré Ideal for:
- All shooting situations
- Photographers shooting RAW (NEF), JPG or TIFF images
- Photographers who do not want to adjust their workflow (via software) to mitigate the occurrence of moiré and false color
- Studio, commercial and still life photographers who can control their shooting conditions, lens selection and aperture choice, as well as use of software (Capture NX2) to reduce the occurrence of false color and moiré
- Medium format photographers whose current digital system does not utilize an optical low pass filter
- Shooting RAW (NEF)
What else is different?
Other than the very slight image quality differences described above, the D800 and D800E perform exactly the same. Focus speed, exposure metering, shooting speed, movie recording, accessory compatibility, control location and function, and all other aspects are identical.

Since I have always had an attraction to Nikon cameras and wanted to try the FX format, I sold an old Rolex watch that had been sitting in a drawer for over 15 years and used the proceeds to buy an 800E and a 24-70 2.8 lens as I wanted glass commensurate to accompany this much acclaimed camera.
I simply don't have the ability to tell you just how much I love this camera and lens combination! From the moment I picked it up (heavy) and took the first few shots, I knew I had latched onto something special. The camera is solid, precise, and just exudes craftsmanship, intelligence and professional capability. I suppose it imparts the feeling that with the right lens and some basic knowledge about light and composition, you can do anything!
That sense of capability and pride in just holding the damn thing was the reason I titled this review as I did. The sensor capability and dynamic range of this camera puts to shame anything I ever took on film years ago, and it has opened my eyes again to seeing pictures in most everything I do, and once again to enjoy the magic of capturing slivers of time and vision. This past Christmas and just after getting the camera/lens combo, my wife asked me to do some obligatory photos of family and friends around the tree. In the past I have used either an Olympus point and shoot or my D90. Anyway, I broke out the D800E and the 24-70 and did my best to please her. (I am not one who usually enjoys taking photos of a bunch of staged smiles--you know what I mean.) I framed up a shot of our daughter and 4 friends near the tree and bounced flash from an SB-700. The playback photo looked good in terms of person capture and lighting, so I didn't think more about it. Later, upon looking at the pic in LR4, and even when I took the shot to a silly degree of magnification, my daughter's face among that head-to-toe group shot of 5 persons, was still useable and printable at 8.5" X 11". Just crazy, crazy sharp; so sharp that I framed that head shot and have received repeated compliments of its technical quality and much praise from my very picky wife. Little do people know that that pic was only about 5% of the original frame!!
So if you have ever held a love for finely crafted and capable technology, buy this camera. Yes it eats up a battery charge faster than expected, so be sure to get at least a second battery. For sure it will re-ignite your artistic vision and you'll find yourself watching a little less TV and more time daydreaming about what you can do rather than what you have already done. The only downside for me is that I rarely pick up my D90--a shame.
Thank You Nikon for such a great camera and this new inner smile.
Digitally, I started with a D100, then a D2X, then a really great D700. The D700 could do nearly everything I wanted in a camera but the images lacked the resolution I desired. The D800E resolves the resolution issue and is just plain awesome to use. Aside from the resolution, the dynamic range of the images is, I believe, the most significant improvement to image quality. Shadows have more detail, but more noticeable is the increase in tonal range of the mid-range and highs.
Many others have already written about the useability of the many features, so I won't repeat (with one exception), except to say that the D800E is a total pleasure to use. I would like to mention the addition of the Viewfinder Virtual Horizon that I programed to the front Fn button - it is extremely well thought out and very useful, providing both a left to right (horizontal) level as well as front to back (vertical) level, and it stays on until you press the button again or turn the camera off. The indicators for this feature are small and on the inside of the frame view, along the bottom and right sides - not obtrusive at all.
If you have ever felt that your earlier equipment was a limiting factor to the images you were capturing, then get a D800 or D800E - the limiting factor will now be you.
UPDATE 12/31/2012: My general opinion of the D800E remains unchanged - it is really incredible. I have not experienced any images with a moire pattern. I hand hold more often than not and find that soft images are really easy to get (that's a joke), but if I shoot at roughly twice the speed as the focal length suggests (example: lens focal length = 300mm, speed then = 1/600 sec) - nearly every image is crystal sharp (this is relative to stationary subjects). Moving subjects still require the same higher speeds that my other cameras needed.
The only negative that I can think of is autofocus, in continuous mode, the focus will often hunt back and forth - this may be my fault due to camera movement but it is not an issue for me with my D700, so I'm still working on this problem.
