Nikon has launched, worldwide, the successor to the D700. The 36.3-megapixel D800 (approx. S$3,750) will be available in March, while the D800E (approx. 10% more at S$4,100) will be available in April.
D4 (S$9,799) and D800 (S$4,488) go on sale in Singapore on 22 Mar.
Nikon launched the D800 and D800E DSLRs worldwide today.
The 36.3 megapixel, FX-format DSLRs boast the highest effective pixel count in the world.
In Singapore, Nikon launched the D800 and D800E in the Pan Pacific Hotel, together with the slew of 12 COOLPIX cameras that it had announced one week ago.
But the star of the event was undoubtedly the D800 and D800E.
Main features
Both have a powerful new EXPEED 3 image processing engine, 36.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, and 91k-pixel RGB sensor (for Advanced Scene Recognition) inside a light, single-piece magnesium body that is water and dust resistant.
They are capable of shooting broadcast quality video with high-fidelity audio recording.
The cinematographer will love the versatility of being able to shoot 1080p Full HD in both FX and DX based formats.
ISO ranges from 100 – 6400 (extensible to ISO 50 – 25,600)
The D800E offers even greater detail resolution

The D800E disables the aliasing and moiré pattern reduction operation performed by the optical low-pass filter in the D800 and most DSLRs, that result in a slight blurring of details.
By doing so, light passing through a NIKKOR lens is able to strike photodiodes directly for greater resolution in details.
This model is optimal for landscape and artistic photography, which demand higher detail resolution and clear definition.
Apart from this, the D800E possesses the same characteristics as the D800.
