Found a thought provoking blog post. http://aboutphotography-tomgrill.blogspot.nl/2014/08/fuji-x-t1-and-nikon-d810-how-do-they.html Since I have an XT1 and a D800, but not D810, and whilst I may prefer the lighter weight of the XT1 I have to say that if I was shooting professionally (a paid for assignment) then I would feel more comfortable using my Nikons.

I agree things have changed a lot in last 2 years. I find the little Sony RX10 produces all the quality I need most of the time.(Now I am semi retired.) Comparing like for like between the D800 and the Sony even on an A3+ print there is very little in it. With the smaller sensor the Sony has more depth of field compared with the same shot taken with an FX Nikon. The Sony small size is a major advantage if you are out and about on holiday. IE it tends to be with you compared with the weight and size of a Nikon FX and 4 lenses in a large bag! If I was still working as a full time advertising photographer it would be the D810 every time as clients would not take you seriously with a little compact!

I am really interested in their delivery of Highlight metering for backlit and similar scenes. I guess this is a mode that would be really useful for my flamenco dance images but especially for birders who shoot birds against the sky. OK it is just a fancy method of read exposure, then EV+2 to reading but I guess it allows for tuning by the user.

Hi Noviclus Primarily weight and form factor. The optical quality is very similar to my eye. Ed

Graham and others, I've been reading this topic with interest. I presently have a D3X and am considering trading it in for a 810. In your opinion would this be a move in the right direction? I photo people in various situations at church, halls, Lions activities such as at parties, golf outings, and at our camp for visually impaired children. I print on an Epson 2800. The photos are really good especially when I compare them to my first digital camera that had 1.5 MP or my first Nikon D. The printers were dye inks. Now there are pigment. Thank you in advance for your responses. I do check in daily and see what is happening. Terry Treppa

I'm rather tempted with this camera! It actually weighs slightly less than my d200 and it has been the weight that puts me off the ff cameras. The price difference between buying online and in a shop is baffling though. It costs £2700 in a shop and £1900 online. If the price difference was, say, £200 or £300, it's a no brainer, go to the shop for the convenience and customer service etc. But £800!! *chokes * I could get a lens or two for that.  Trouble is I would have to buy at least one new lens. My shiny new 70-300vr is fx so that's fine but my also still shiny 18-105 isn't. What would I need to replace that one for the d810?

Judith, your 18-105 will work on the D810, just that it will be in DX mode with the same 1.5x crop that you get on your D200. The pix however, will only be 15Mp in size;~).

But what fx lens would be a sort of equivalent if I wanted an upgrade?
