Err... Wouldn't the shutter have closed (and therefore be immaterial) by the time the mirror was lowered? o.O

It's the mirror hitting the top of the camera on opening that causes the problem.
All things being equal the D610 gets sharper pix when using live view at slower shutter speds.

The current design of the DSLR has two major vibration weaknesses.
These are:
1. Mirror up vibration - small but noticeable. Hence the pro models all have a Mirror Up option.
2. First shutter blind closing and second shutter blind following it.

The mirrorless cameras dont suffer from type1 vibration but do suffer from type2. Unfortunately type2 will be present until we move to electronic shutters or leaf shutters. Electronic shutters are the way forward.

I collected the D810 an hour ago and first pix is attached as shot NEF to Tiff to JPG full image shown 24-70 AF-S lens 200 ISO. This is as shot with no after work.

Handles just like the D800 but auto focus is very much quicker and spot on even in poor light.

Detail from above pix. Looks very sharp on full sized I have needed to reduce size a lot to show you images! There is no doubt that like the D800E little or no unsharp mask should be needed for most images. No sign of any colour fringes etc.

NEF Raw files will not open in the latest version of NX2 or Photoshop CS6. But the new Nikon NX-D (this will replace NX-2 in future) with View NX2 seem to open files at once and will process and convert NEFs to what ever you need.

Will keep you all informed but so far all very very good!

Look forward to seeing a NEF when you have more time.

No problem to send you a D810 NEF what sort of pix do you want to see? I could send you one in Dropbox?
To be honest I do not think images are going to be greatly better than those from the D800 and we are now getting to the limit of what is needed or indeed what the eye can or needs to see.

One of your studio images and one of your landscape images would be great.

I will have to take some first! All I have done is a few basic test pix and I'm pleased to say all looks good.

There is no hurry I can wait for your next visit to Wales.
I expect that you will be kept indoors by the weather the next few days.

We could do with some rain here, we have had less than 80mm in the last year and the whole place is very dry! Normal rainfall is nearly 400mm/year, in two major sessions in March/April and October/November, with sunshine the rest of the time.

Not one of my better pixs but it was raining today so put some bits on table with Elinchrom electronic flash and 24-70mm AF-S f2.8 lens, F16 at ISO250 to give some idea of detail will post a blow up from same NEF below.

NEF was processed in the new Nikon Capture NX-D.(It is not sold with the camera but in UK is a free dowload.) At the moment only software that will open a D810 NEF.The large Tiff was exported into Photoshop CS6 to produce these JPGs.
