The D800, which is the successor to the D700 in both form and function, is a full-frame camera that is similar to the D4 in lots of ways but has a few key differences.
The camera features a smaller form factor without an integrated vertical grip and sans Ethernet connectivity. On the inside the camera packs a 36-megapixel CMOS picture sensor that delivers over two times the resolution than the 16-megapixel D4.
The camera shares lots of of the D4's picture and video features, including its 91,000 pixel RGB Matrix III meter and uncompressed HDMI video output. It records QuickTime video in H.264 B-Frame format at 1080p30, 1080p24, 720p60, and 720p50. Its picture sensor supports ISO 100 through 6400 natively & can be overcranked to 12800 & 25600 for shooting in low light. Its 51-point autofocus system is identical to that of the D4 it can work in lighting as low as -2 EV & can work with lenses with a maximum f/8 aperture or larger. The D800 has dual memory card slots one that supports CompactFlash & second that supports SDXC and a USB three.0 port that supports file transfer & tethered shooting.
The camera is compatible with Nikon F-mount FX and DX lenses. When a DX lens is attached, the D800 switches to a crop mode that captures 15.4-megapixel images. It can grab four frames per second in FX mode, five frames per second in DX mode, & 6 frames per second in DX mode when used with the optional MB-D12 vertical battery grip.
A second version of the camera, the D800E, will even be made available.
The D800 will be available in March for $3,000 & the D800E will follow in April for $3,300.
