Camera rating
The large images taken by the NIkon D800 can be a strain on lower-specced computer set-ups
Even your higher-end desktop or laptop will have its work cut out juggling photo editing working with photos taken by the Nikon D800. The average photographer will also find that images can take up a lot of space on the memory card. There is a mode that automatically crops photos

AF area adjust switch works differently from D700, Can't adjust mic/audio level while recording,

The Nikon D800 takes beautiful photos in nearly any situation. In daylight, the camera is completely satisfying. It shoots minuscule details and vivid color like no other camera out there. In the dark, the high-resolution sensor holds up impressively in i
When a camera is fantastic—and expensive—the small shortcomings get frustrating. The D800's biggest disappointment is the auto-focus. It works, but not as fluidly as the rest of the camera. The high-resolution sensor was an awesome and potentially visiona

Moiré patterns visible in some videos, Slower 4 fps shooting speed, Large image files
As cameras go, it would be no exaggeration to call the Nikon D800 a quantum leap forward. 36MP on a full-frame sensor is a bold move. So many things could have gone wrong pushing the envelope like this, but Nikon has managed to execute it with aplomb.Ergo...
Excellent JPEG & RAW quality as well as videos; 24fps recording at 710p & 1080p; Great build quality; Easily accessible buttons; USB 3.0 ports for fast photo transfers,
Noise in pictures (at full resolution) & videos in lowlight conditions due to high megapixel sensor.
