Here’s a collection of sample images I’ve shot with the Nikon D810 to give a sense of how it performs in real-world shooting.
The D810 replaced the D800 in mid-2014. It was succeeded by the D850 in mid-2017.
It has 36.3-megapixel full-frame (FX) sensor that produces images up to 7360 by 4912 pixels, a native ISO range of 64 to 12800 (extended down to 32 and up to 51200), and shoots 1080p60 video.
I’ve included exposure information in the caption under each shot.

Price & Availability of the Nikon D810 DSLR
The D810 has been discontinued, and it has become harder to find new copies. It was replaced by the D850. But D810s do turn up, and sometimes at very good prices.
