Key Advantages

The absence of the optical low-pass filter in the D800E significantly improves image detail and sharpness, ideal for landscape and studio photography.

High-resolution 36.3-megapixel sensor delivers exceptional image quality suitable for large prints and cropping.

Robust build with weather-sealed magnesium alloy body ensures durability in challenging environments.

Advanced 51-point autofocus system provides excellent subject tracking and focus accuracy.

Comprehensive video features including multiple frame rates and full HD resolution facilitate professional video capture.

Dual card slots (CF and SD) offer enhanced storage flexibility and backup options.

Limitations

The large file size of 36.3MP images demands significant storage and processing power, which might be challenging for some workflows.

The D800E's high resolution can introduce increased noise at very high ISO settings compared to cameras with lower megapixels.

Its body and lenses tend to be heavier, affecting portability for casual users.

Video autofocus during recording is not continuous, limiting ease of use in cinematic video work.

Backward compatibility with some older Nikon lenses may require adapters or have limited functions.

The camera's interface can be complex for beginner photographers to navigate quickly.
