I'm here at the world headquarters in New York City and we're gonna take a look at the Nikon
D8010.
Ok so I've got one here in front of me let's open it up and see what you get.
Okay so we've got the body here.
It's about 20 ounces later than the D800 or D800E.
They've also redesigned the handle here for bigger hands, it
makes it a little more comfortable to hold, a little more balanced. You've got the power cables.
Power adapter, that will work anywhere in the world.
This here is just the adapter if you want to plug it straight into the wall with no cables.
You've got your nifty strap with D810 on it.
So these little doodads here,
you put them on the side of your camera to protect your cable's, if you've got your HDMI cable
stuff coming out so your not
ruining your ports. And we have the same EN-EL 15 battery that you get with D800 D800E.
But with this camera you get about 33% more battery life.
Okay so before we head outside let's take a look at the body here.
This is the replacement now to both the D800 and D800E.
So they've removed the Anti-Aliasing Filter completely, so your gonna
get
sharper images with that. There is a chance of more ray of course, but we'll talk about that
little bit more.
It's really almost a non-issue for most people.
You've got a duel card slot here. SD and compact flash.
They've moved around the buttons a little bit so if you have any D800 or D800E
just take a look before start shooting.
Well on it I have a 50mm 1.8, this is part of a three lens kit that's going to
be available
with the new 1.8 lenses. The 35mm 50mm and the 85mm.
It's a great way to get into primes, pretty inexpensively, really nice sharp glass.
Ok so they've also improved the auto focus on this thing. It's got a 51 point
auto focus
as before, but it's got the EXPEED 4 Processor
which is gonna give you faster autofocus. It's from the D4S.
You also have the group autofocus function, so if you're tracking birds and
those kinda of things it will be great for that.
If you are an outdoor photographer , wildlife photographer or landscape,
they've got a first curtain electronic shutter which basically eliminates all camera
shakes. So if you want the absolute sharpest images on a tripod your gonna wanna
use that mode.
If you are shooting moving subjects, sports, wildlife etc.
They've upped their game a little bit with the frames per second. You can go five now
in FX mode.
If you switch to DX mode, which is also gonna give you that multiplier on your lens
which is great.
You can go six frames per second, and if you use the MB-D12 grip which is by the
way the same one for the
D800, you can go up to seven frames per second in DX Mode.
Because of the EXPEED 4 Processor you can shoot
until you fill your card if your shooting jpegs as well, so you can really just
motor away for
as long as you need to. Another great improvement is they've lowered the base ISO to
64 so if you need to drag the shutter, longer exposures
you have that going for you without the need of an ND per say.
They also raise the maximum ISO which can help you a lot in low light. So working with
this camera you can go into the low
ISO mode, which actually goes down to 32, which is great, and then high ISO on this is
51,200 which is crazy high.
So for people who wanna shoot raw but lets say
can't handle the 36 megapixels, it's too much space, processing power on the computer
they don't need to print large.
Nikon has a new format which is NEF which is about half the size and 12 bits so you'll
get much smaller files.
Which is gonna be easier for you to handle in post. So we all know this
is a great photo camera, it's
also becoming a very robust video camera. The two main features that I like
are they've added zebras for your exposure and also a flat profile,
so you have much more flexibility in post.
In video your ISO is a little bit different, you can only go down to 50 not 32.
But it still goes up to 51,200 if you happen to be
where there's no light. So this camera will also do slow motion at full HD
in 60 frames. So like the D800 and D800E you can get
uncompressed video out of the HDMI port to an external recorder. That'll give you
422.
You can also record internally to a card, which you could not do with the D800, D800E
so you'll get a second copy, or if you want to give it
immediately to a client lets say on a CF card, you can do that as well. Nikon's also added
an auto ISO feature
so if you're you're running gunning you can set your F-stop and your shutter
speed,
and the ISO will shift for you so you keep a good exposure. They've added
a power aperture, so you can make adjustments
while your shooting video to the aperture. Alright so this is exciting, let's go see what this
camera can do in the field.
Alright so I had a lot of fun shooting with the camera today. I want to thank Nikon for letting us
take it out.
Really love the new ergonomic's of this. The 50mm 1.8 was really
lightweight, really sharp,
we got some great stills and footage. But we want to hear from you. Are you excited
about this camera?
Which features do you think are the most interesting? How you can use them in your
work?
