Key Advantages

The Nikon D800 offers exceptional image resolution at 36.3MP, ideal for large prints and cropping flexibility. Its advanced 51-point autofocus system enables accurate subject tracking in various conditions. The camera provides full HD 1080p video recording with clean HDMI output for professional video workflows. Its high ISO sensitivity range (ISO 100-6400, expandable) supports shooting in low-light environments. The durable magnesium alloy chassis ensures camera resilience for professional use in harsh conditions. Additionally, the dual memory card slots allow simultaneous or back-up recording, which enhances workflow efficiency.

Limitations

Due to its high-resolution sensor, the Nikon D800 produces large file sizes, which require ample storage and processing power. Its continuous shooting speed is a moderate 4 frames per second, which may be limiting for fast action photography. The camera does not include built-in GPS or Wi-Fi connectivity, requiring external accessories for these features. Battery life, while decent, is less than some competitors, especially when using Live View or video. The absence of an articulated LCD screen can reduce flexibility during video recording or low-angle shots. Compared to newer models, autofocus and video features may feel less advanced.
