Nikon D800 RAW review

We subject the Nikon D800 to a RAW test: With 36 megapixels, the Nikon D800 leads the current test field at least in terms of the resolution, which in itself, but little about the picture quality as a whole. More recently, the Nikon D800 has been sighted in retail for under $ 2,300 – a price drop of € 600 that looks like an offensive against the competitors who have been in the same price class so far: the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for 2.900 and the Sony A99 for 2.800 euros. Unlike the two, the Nikon D800 has a flip-out flash (LZ 11), as a special feature a USB 3.0 port and one of the fastest autofocus solutions in the test (0.19 s). The basis for this is the AF module of the D4 with 51 AF sensors (15 cross sensors).


Image quality


In fact, the Nikon D800 succeeds in overcoming the already outstanding border resolution of the JPEG test by several hundreds of line pairs per image height: 2,392 to 2427 LP / BH - spitze


The fact that the dead-leave values ​​and the dynamics increase with respect to JPEG and the loss of texture (kurtosis 0.2 to 0.4) and noise (0.3 to 0.7 with ISO 100 to 3.200) is anything but one Of course, it's worth it.


Note: This is the RAW test of the Nikon D800, which focuses solely on the image quality of the camera in RAW mode (more about our test procedures and the new RAW test). For all technical details of the camera and a comprehensive review, including the evaluation of processing and operation, read our JPEG test of the Nikon D800.
