Follow the link to read our in-depth initial impressions on Nikon’s newest professional interchangeable lens camera. Instead, this is more of a discussion on the differences in shooting experiences between DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, independent of the manufacturer. Previously, I have used mirror-less Olympus M4/3, Fuji APS-c, and now Sony full frame cameras for pleasure, and I have said in numerous discussions that for professional work, I just cannot give up the optical viewfinder of a DSLR; nonetheless, I am proficient with these other cameras.
Given all I’ve mentioned thus far regarding exposure, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that, at lowish ISO settings, both cameras have sufficient dynamic range that underexposure is seldom an issue. In terms of appearance and design, the Nikon D810 is quite similar to its predecessors, which is not always a negative thing. Because of its huge size (5.6 3.2 4.8 inches in total) and weight of 2.16 pounds, this camera is not a good option for individuals looking for a compact or travel camera that is light and small in size. However, the manufacturer has made certain improvements, such as a more obvious and deeper handgrip on the front and a more natural thumb grip on the rear. It is worth highlighting that the gadget is constructed entirely of magnesium alloy and is weather and dust sealed, resulting in a very sturdy body.
It is evident that the Adobe Standard Profile used by both cameras produces significantly different color results. I have no reason to believe that if you profiled both cameras, you wouldn’t be able to obtain the color pretty darn near to what you wanted. The Fuji camera does come with a set of film-look profiles that were produced by Fuji, which some people like. The 5D essentially recovers a full stop of dynamic range when compared to cameras with no or poor highlight recovery, and that’s a significant advantage that can’t be overlooked.
Allow me to express my admiration for his point of view, while acknowledging that his experience with the Sony has not been, and is unlikely to be, similar to mine. The Nikon D810 has a 3.2-megapixel sensor “The LCD screen is significantly bigger than the three-inch screen on the Sony A7R II. The Nikon D810 has a 3.2-megapixel sensor “The LCD screen is marginally bigger than the Sony A7R III’s three-inch screen. Is it a question of white points, or color filtering, or relative channel sensitivity, or something else entirely? I really doubt that any of these is genuinely considerably nonlinear in the way that Ming explains (as mentioned in John’s response).
With a D8xx camera, one would not want to spend a lot of time fiddling with the manual focus settings. In addition, could you provide any insight on the highlight recovery capabilities of different cameras? I haven’t tested a D810 file yet, but in my experience with D800 raw files, you can’t recover much detail in the highlights and the colors go wacky when you post process them.
The difference between both cameras, though, is the pixel count and focusing ability, with the Sony model coming out on top in these categories. But, on the other hand, the Sony model is rather pricey, and it comes with a restricted selection of lens alternatives, all of which are quite expensive. The Nikon D810, on the other hand, is a well-established and reliable alternative, offering a broad selection of lenses at a more cheap price and quadruple the battery life of the Sony A7R II while also being more compact. The Sony A7R II is the second model in the company’s A7R series, and it is an excellent professional camera for landscape and portrait photographers both.
It is true that the a7RII has a continuous shutter mode, and 5 frames per second is plenty for many applications, however utilizing continuous shutter mode for more than a few of images at a time makes the finder almost worthless. It seems strange that a camera with a flapping mirror would be able to deliver a crisper vision at high frame rates, but it most definitely does. A lag in the painting of the a7RII EVF or LCD panel is also present; nonetheless, this is not negligible while capturing quick action. Each of the camera’s buttons and dials has been thoughtfully positioned for ease of use, and there are many programmable buttons on the body (ten to be precise), allowing you a great deal of creative flexibility.

Specifically, I left Nikon because of poor focus repeatability with fast lenses (I frequently submitted my cameras and lenses in for repair at Nikon, and each time the company said that everything was within manufacturing specs). In addition, my 5DSRs are really accurate with f1.4 lenses, and I have grown somewhat hooked to the 50mp sensor, as well as the excellent Canon lenses that are available.
The D4 was my most often used other camera apart from the a7x cameras, and it is now the D5. In a Venn diagram of what the D5 does best vs what the a7RII does best, there would be little overlap between the two devices. At 100 percent magnification on a computer screen, this tab displays the measurement results and graph that were obtained straight from a RAW picture when the image is presented on a computer screen (i.e., one image pixel corresponding to one screen pixel). In this case, I believe that using the same lens on every camera and identifying one or two that stand out as crisper will be the most fair approach to do a test of this kind, particularly when using a small aperture and ensuring that everything is in focus. As a self-admitted music nerd, I am not familiar with every aspect of the song, and we surely did not cover every single function of every camera.
The cost of a camera is, without a doubt, a crucial consideration when purchasing one. The list of launch pricing provides an indicator of the market sector that the camera maker has been aiming its products towards. At introduction, the A7R II was somewhat less expensive than the D810, but the two cameras are in the same price range as one another.
According to the manufacturer, this increase in megapixels translates into an 8 percent increase in linear resolution. In contrast, these sensor specifications indicate that the A7R II has a greater overall pixel density and a smaller size of the individual pixel (with a 4.52mm pixel pitch compared to 4.88mm for the D810) than the D810. To be sure, the A7R II is a little more current model than the D810, and its sensor may have benefited from technical advancements made during this time period, which may have helped to at least partially offset the reduced pixel size. Returning to the subject of sensor resolution, it should be noted that none of the two cameras has an anti-alias filter fitted, allowing them to catch all of the information that the sensor is capable of capturing.
One possibility is that all of these sensors are really capable of outresolving whatever lens you put on the camera (I’ve heard this argument a lot since we’ve reached the 24-megapixel threshold). Canon is my preferred video camera, but Nikon has always been and will continue to be a picture powerhouse. The physical thickness of the aperture blades is what causes diffraction to occur.
