Overview
The Nikon D800E is a specialized variant of the Nikon D800 DSLR, featuring a modified optical low-pass filter designed to enhance image sharpness by eliminating the anti-aliasing effect. Introduced in 2012, this camera incorporates a 36.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, which provides outstanding resolution for both professional and advanced amateur photographers.
The D800E uses the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine, which assists in high-speed data handling and noise reduction, particularly beneficial during high ISO shooting. This model supports a broad ISO range of 100-6400, expandable to ISO 50-25600, allowing excellent performance in varying light conditions.
Featuring a robust magnesium alloy body with weather sealing, the D800E is designed for durability and reliability in demanding environments. The autofocus system contains 51 focus points, enhancing accuracy and speed for dynamic shooting situations. It supports full HD 1080p video recording with manual control over exposure, making it versatile for multimedia production.
Connectivity includes USB 3.0 and HDMI outputs for high-speed data transfer and external display support. The camera also incorporates dual card slots (CF and SD), allowing flexible storage solutions. The lack of an anti-aliasing filter improves detail rendition but may increase susceptibility to moiré patterns, making it a choice more favored by landscape, studio, and fine art photographers.
The Nikon D800E does not fall under the category of instant cameras; it is a DSLR system camera, thus there may be some confusion with the categorization provided. Instant cameras typically refer to cameras that produce immediatly printed photos, which the D800E does not provide.
