Nikon D800

[1] It was officially announced on February 7, 2012, and went on sale in late March 2012[2] for the suggested retail price of $2999.95 in the U.S., £2399 in the UK, and €2892 in the Eurozone.

Reviewers have pointed out that although increased moiré is difficult to remove in post-processing, it is relatively easy to combat while photo-taking (such as by changing the angle, aperture or position).

Furthermore, moire is rarely found in photos (besides man-made, repeated patterns such as in architecture or textiles).

The lack of low-pass filter brings about a small improvement in optical resolution in the 800E, especially in portraits with larger apertures, where diffraction is not an issue.
