We take a look at the Nikon D800E and compare it to the D800 to see what the big deal is and why this costs more than the standard D800 DSLR. Pricing reference: Nikon D800E: www.digitalrev.com Nikon D800: www.digitalrev.com
When Luminous Landscape’s Nick Devlin received one of the few D800E cameras in Canada, we knew we’d have to take it out for a day of landscape photography. Nick and The Camera Store’s Chris Niccolls took out the D800E and the fantastic Pentax 645D to see how they stacked up shooting the beautiful landscapes of Canmore Alberta.

E is for Enhanced
The E stands for expensive 🙂
I think the whole point of DigitalRev Is to make video reviews/ tutorials as enjoyable as possible. I for one, love their videos because it doesn’t bore my brains out like reading a written review/ a written tutorial.
The videos are meant to be lighthearted and informal. The careless talk is hilarious.
Too much careless talk, get to the point in your videos!
D800 IS THE BEST
Hello there, are you familiar with “photo SFX art” (just google it)? On their website you can watch a useful free video featuring the best way to make impressive photographs. This made it possible for Daniel to make photos which leave you with that wow-effect whenever you take a look at them. I hope it will help you too.
yes!
E means expensive.
d800E/extra
because it costs (extra)

That s a interesting story . Maybe you can make video shorter , which even useful :-p
ok there.
I’ve been a professional photographer for thirty two years. All my colleagues use lens hoods so I don’t know what you’re talking about. The only situation where you should dispense with the lens hood is when it casts a shadow in macro work. The point I’m trying make here is that the guy who does these videos never uses a lens hood or a camera strap which is completely stupid and irresponsible. It sends out the wrong message to beginners such as yourself.
No, you’re being narrow minded i’m saying you don’t always need it , I didn’t say you should never use one. There are situation where you should and shouldn’t use it. If you are trying to look like a pro, they dont even use the hoods. For beginners yes, its good to have it on for protection.
You don’t always need to wear a safety belt either but common sense dictates that you do. You’re obviously quite inexperienced.
you still dont ALWAYS need to have it on…
Well you can go to a camera shop, get a brochure and read the specs yourself. Cheers!
why is the boy at 0:32 not asian ? 😀
I beg to differ. It adds protection from flare and more importantly frontal impact to the lens. It’s designed for a reason, same as a camera strap. The video sets a bad example for new photographers. Otherwise it’s well done.
you dont always need to use a lens hood…
What’s with these people whinging about the Videos?!! Just don’t watch it, if you don’t like the humor. Simple as that.
As always (or most always, hehe), I’ve loved this video. I’m veeeery happy with my D7000, but it’s great to see what’s going on anyway. However… I’m still wondering why Kai climbed the 500 steps, LOL… amazing.
Nice River in your Background. It´s good for stealhead fising, i think 😉
Two questions if may;
This video has made me want to just go out and spend a whole day walking and taking landscape photos.
Very well done test!
Thanks
Hi Mr. Nikonguy, I’m thinking of purchasing a Nikon D3200 and getting an adaptor to fit the 70-210mm FD canon lens, the 28mm vivitar lens and the 35-70mm vivitar I own. Would you know what sort of results I should be expecting from this? Do you have any digital cameras you would recommend best for this match 🙂
sure, medium glass is amazing but those bodies and backs are too unpractical and too expensive for most people, so they’ll slowly disappear into the past.
the real problem with 36mp cameras like d800/e is that even a 24mp d3x is almost too much for sharp lenses like nikkor 85 1.4g, d800/e might have the sensor but there’s no appropriate glass, but if that high resolving glass for 35mm format was to appear in the near future – that would be the end of the medium format
As a matter of fact, and not considering all that company paid bullcrap like “You see, guys? you can replace a Medium Format with the D800 with almost no loss”, they could have used a 200$ Sigma lens or whatever on it. There is NO way of comparing Medium Format glass to 35mm lenses. What these people do is comparing sensors, but a camera is not only its sensor- and the priority should be the glass, not the electronics.
Love the Lada!!!
Were you guys at Grassy Lakes area?
What tripod head are both Chris and Nick using?
Why did you decide to compare these two cameras?
i did not know that there was 6 u”s in ouuuuuut ayyye how abouuuuut that
The filter is a polarizer and works by twisting it you get less or more reflection-reduction in water or glasslike surfaces 🙂 hope that was as good as an answer.
Um, this may come as a shock to some, but, while we are good friends, Michael Reichmann and I are two completely different people. Luminous Landscape is his site. I contribute regularly, but it’s his joint. He bought his D800s at Henrys. I bought mine through The Camerastore, as I have done with every piece of gear since they day they opened.
– N.
its polarized filter!
thats a nice thing when using long exposures!
check out some videos about polarized lens filtres!
Why was he rotating the filter? Does it change at different angles? (sorry, i be a noob)
I just bought a Contax T2! Just had to tell someone.
What head does Chris have on his tripod? I can’t quite make it out and is the tripod the GT3542LS?
No investigative journalism going on here! I read his report on the D800/D800e that he mentioned was purchased from Henry’s Camera Store (could have been his co-editor since no name was used at the end of the review. Anway it doesn’t really matter…I really enjoy your videos and hope to see more dealing with equipment used for wildlife and nature photography.
This is a lot of investigative journalism for an irrelevant point. Ask Nick here or on his blog, he bought the D800E from us.
