Nikon announced its highly anticipated D800 DSLR, engineered to provide “extreme resolution, astounding image quality and valuable video features optimized for professional still and multimedia photographers and videographers.” The D800 boasts a high-resolution 36.3 megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor, a 91,000-pixel RGB matrix metering system, an advanced scene recognition system and other intuitive features.

Nikon’s highest resolution sensor to date, the 7,360x4,912-resolution FX-format CMOS sensor is complemented by the latest 91,000-pixel 3D color matrix metering III and advanced scene recognition systems, as well as an improved 51-point AF system. Compact and lightweight, the highlight of the new DSLR is its extensive video feature set that enables photographers to transition to multimedia to create an immersive story. Pro videographers will appreciate practical features that go beyond Nikkor lens compatibility and Full HD 1080p video recording, such as full manual control, uncompressed HDMI output and low-light video capability. All of this is driven by Nikon’s latest Expeed 3 image-processing engine, which provides the necessary processing power to fuel images with true-to-life color, a wide dynamic range and extreme resolution.

Nikon developed the 36.3MP FX-format (35.9x24mm) CMOS sensor to address the demanding applications of wedding, studio portraiture and landscape photography, where there is no compromise to high fidelity and dynamic range. Nikon says its first priority was image quality, and the 36.3 megapixels allow photographers the ability to portray even the smallest details, such as a strand of hair, or crop liberally.
