Get High-Resolution Photos With Faithful Colors and Broadcast Quality Video With the Nikon D800e

Medium-format cameras may match the authentic color reproduction and detail capture of photos taken with the HD-SLR Nikon D800e, but they can’t record full HD 1080p video with a 16:9 aspect ratio while capturing sound through a 20-adjustment microphone monitored by audio meters on the LCD display. The camera’s 36.3-megapixel full frame CMOS sensor allows for poster-sized prints without loss of detail. Whether you’re shooting video with Nikon DX or FX lens formats or tapping into the spectrum of compatible NIKKOR lenses for photos, the D800e offers digital photographers professional quality functionality at an accessible price.

How is the video performance?

Versatile capabilities offer HD video capture with either auto or manual settings along with audio from external microphones. There is an HDMI port if you want to record uncompressed files into an external storage device. The camera supports both Nikon DX and FX lens. Some of the video performance specs include the following:

  • 1920 by 1080 video resolution
  • 4 fps continuous shooting
  • Full HD 1080p at 30/25/24p (720p at 60/50p in AVC format)
  • Simultaneous viewing on LCD monitor and external monitor
  • 20 minutes recording length at highest resolution or 30 minutes normal resolution
What are the camera’s photo specs?

The D800e’s superior depth, texture, and clarity come from its EXPEED image processing system, allowing for massive amounts of data to be processed without color phase shifts. The proprietary Advanced Scene Recognition System uses a 91,000-pixel RGB light meter to balance white and control the iTTL flash system in AF and AE mode. Some of the camera's most notable photo specs include the following (See manufacturer’s site for details.):

  • ISO: This IOS is from 100 to 6400 (expands to 25600).
  • Lens Format: It uses the Nikon F-Mount.
  • Battery life: You can get 900 shots on a single charge.
  • LCD Screen Size: It has a screen size of 3.2 inches.
  • Body: It has a weather-sealed, 900-gram, magnesium-alloy body
