NIKON D610 VS D800 : Release Date, Rumors, Price, Prezzo, Preis and Prix

Nikon D610 : A blend of old and new in this full-frame

Amateur Photography

Announced at the end of 2013, the full-frame D610 replaces the Nikon D600. The revamp includes an improved shutter unit, a slightly faster burst rate of 6fps, and what Nikon claims is a more accurate white balance system. In other respects, the Nikon D610 already looks a bit behind the times, relying on an Expeed 3 image processor where the D3300, the D5300 and the D4s have Expeed 4.

The design and control layout look practically the same as the D7100. As we’ve come to expect, the D610 beats its Canon 6D rival in the resolution stakes, with a 24.3MP sensor, although this time there’s a low-pass filter fitted, unlike in the D5300 and D7100. However, the D610’s maximum sensitivity setting is ISO 6,400 in the standard range, and ISO 25,600 in expanded mode.

The Canon 6D’s standard range equals the Nikon’s expanded range, while going two stops higher in expanded mode to ISO 102,400.As in the D5300, there’s a 39-point autofocus system, but here the points are clustered closer to the centre of the frame. This makes the large number of individual points less of an attraction.

PERFORMANCE

The updated white balance system is pretty good, but we found many shots took on a slightly green cast. Metering is also inconsistent compared with the 6D. Autofocus accuracy is best if you stick to the nine cross-type AF points, especially for moving targets. Overall, the Canon 6D gives better results, especially in low light.

Nikon D810 : A new sensor with no AA filter and an updated processing engine for better image quality

Nikon’s D800 and D800E caused great excitement when they were first announced in February 2012 – largely because of their ground-breaking 36-million pixel count and their impressive detail resolution. So it’s great news that Nikon claims their replacement, the 36.3MP D810, produces “the highest image quality in Nikon’s history”.

Apparently, the filter over the D800E’s sensor still had some anti -aliasing (AA) properties. Removing AA entirely for the Nikon D810 should enable it to record even more sharp detail. Nikon has also made changes to the D810’s shutter to produce less vibration and reduce blurring. It’s exciting that the D810 has the same 51- point Multi CAM 3500FX AF system (with Group  -area AF) as the class- leading D4S. The maximum continuous shooting rate has increased at full resolution to 5fps (previously 4fps) – and the buffer when shooting in RAW has been doubled . I’m looking forward to seeing how the D810 handles noise, because although the D800 is good for a 36MP camera, noise is still a limiting factor. What ilike: The potential for more detail; better noise control; a split -screen Live View image for assessing depth of field What idon’t like: Built -in Wi -Fi connectivity would’ve been really useful for controlling the camera remotely.

So low ISO!

Unusually, the D810 has a native sensitivity range of ISO 64  -12,800 and there are expansion settings stretching from ISO 32 to ISO 51,200, giving greater scope for shooting at wide apertures or in bright conditions as well as greater low- light capability. The lower ISO settings of the D810 should prove to be especially useful for a camera that I’d expect to be predominantly used on a tripod.

FUJINON LENS REVIEWS

We test Fujifilm's new wide aperture portrait lens for the X series

Fujinon Lens Reviews - Fujifilm has done well to create a range of 12 lenses since it launched the X-pro1, including this latest lens. Designed to be used with the APS-C sensors of the Fuji X system, the XF 56mm f/1.2 R provides a similar angle of view to what we'd expect of an 85mm lens on a full frame camera. it has 11 elements in eight groups, and uses one a spherical and two low dispersion elements. Fuji has used its chromatic controlling lenses directly behind the forward element, which is unusually small in relative diameter for a fast aperture lens of this type.

FUJINON LENS

As with nearly all fixed focal length X lenses, the XF 56mm's aperture ring clicks delightfully, if a little loosely, in 1/3 stops between f/1.4 and f/16 - there are no clicks between f/1.2 and f/1.4.

with a lens cap of only 62mm, the XF 56mm is shorter, narrower and lighter than the equivalents lens from Panasonic's G system - even though the G cameras use a smaller sensor. The G cameras use a smaller sensor. The lens is well built and the metal barrel and finely ribbed focusing ring fell good to the touch.

Disappointingly, though, the lens has a plastic hood not a metal one.

The lens sits comfortable on both the X-pro1 and X-T1 bodies, though the more substantial grip, both back and front, of the SLR style X-T1 allows more secure and balanced purchase, Fuji places the aperture ring closest to the mount, so fingers of the supporting hand can find it easily an without you having to shift the holding position of either camera.

The is a bit of whirring while and X-series camera focuses, and it seems to longer (or at least bigger) the lens, the longer it takes to focus. The 56mm has more glass to move than any other fixed lens in the system, and neither the X-pro1 nor the X-T1 is especially deft at shifting it. The host body's ability to make the lens work well definitely affects what you will be able to achieve. also, none of the Fuji bodies has a native ISO 100 setting, so you'll be limited in getting use out of the f/1.2 aperture in daylight.

As for image quality, lenses with wide apertures tend to produce a lot of corner shading, and while the XF 56mm's illumination is indeed less than uniform across the frame, the effect can only really be seen in images of flat, evenly lit areas. For most natural subjects, it will be fine.

Sharpness and detail are good, even when the lens is used wide open. The resolution of captured images obviously increased as i closed down, and i detected a peak between f/4 and f/5.6 and then a decline to f/16. This is based on quite close focus, such as when shooting a waist up portrait. However, as the subject distance increases, sharpness and detail decrease, so by the time i was shooting full length portraits, my images looked decidedly soft. The softness may be due to fringing and a subsequent de fringing exercise in camera, or slightly missed focused at wide apertures. The quality of out of focus highlights are mostly pleasant, which is important to wide aperture shooters. They tend to head towards the frame edges, and from f/2 they are more heptagonal, resulting in a less "creamy" look.

Pros
- Good focal length for serious portrait photographers
- Wide aperture
- Sharpness and detail
- Value for money

Cons
- Many Fuji CSCs are limited to shooting at up to 1/4000sec, making it difficult to use the lens's wide aperture outdoors in extremely bright conditions

Nikon 1 V3 Review

Sleek and stylish

Amateur Photography

It’s Nikon’s slickest 1 camera yet, with a tilting touchscreen and Wi-Fi. Let's finds out how well it measures up.

Nikon 1 V3 Review - The last incarnation of the V range, the V2, was SLR-like in its styling. It had a good range of dials and buttons, as well as an integrated viewfinder and a deep handgrip. Nikon has taken a slightly different approach for the V3, removing the built-in viewfinder and making it an optional extra (called the NF-N1000.

Nikon 1 V3

The V3 has a one-inch type sensor and has increased on the V2’s 14.2 million pixels to reach 18.4 million pixels. The sensor’s optical low-pass filter has been removed, which should mean an increase in detail. Read More About Nikon 1 v3 Another Reviews is Here

BUILD AND HANDLING

In comparison with the V2, the V3 has a much flatter appearance. The textured, raised portion of the grip that is there still makes it comfortable to hold, though.

There are a lot of dials and switches on the V3, which make it pretty easy and intuitive to use. There’s also a fair amount of customization including a dial on the rear of the camera that can be changed to a number of different settings. On the front is a small dial that controls different functions depending on the shooting mode you’re using. In Aperture Priority mode, for instance, it controls aperture. Other buttons are grouped in two positions – one down the left-hand side of the rear, including menu and playback buttons, and the other grouped on the right-hand side, where you’ll find all the buttons you need for most shooting operations. You have a couple of options for setting the auto-focus point. If you prefer physical buttons, you can hit the OK button in the center of the navigational pad, then use the directional keys to move to the point you want. You can also simply tap the area on the screen that you want to focus on.

“The amount of detail on display is good, especially for a camera with a mere one-inch sensor”

PERFORMANCE

Colors straight from the camera are bright and punchy, without displaying too much saturation or vibrance. The amount of detail on display is also good, especially for a camera with a mere one-inch sensor. However, the results are still not able to compete with those from cameras fitted with larger sensors, as the V3’s images have less detail visible when they are viewed at 100%.

Generally, the camera’s metering system does a good job of producing accurate exposures, while the automatic white balance system copes well with mixed or artificial lighting to produce accurate colors This is borne out in our lab results.

Auto-focusing speeds are swift, with the hybrid AF system doing a good job in all but the dimmest of light. The kit lens is a good all-round performer, offering decent sharpness and a flexible focal length.

At mid-range sensitivities, such as ISO 800, the overall impression of noise is good, but look closely and you can see a little loss of detail and some speckling. If you up the sensitivity to ISO 3,200, the noise visibility increases significantly, although it shouldn't be a problem at small printing sizes. Comparing raw images reveals that the V3’s JPEG noise reduction is quite heavy-handed, so you might be better off applying your preferred settings in post-production.

Overall

We say: The V3 is the sleekest yet in the 1 series. It’s nice to see newer technologies, such as a touchscreen, but it’s a shame not to get the eye-level viewfinder as standard.
