Originally posted by gavincato guys, this was me. and to make it clear, this was a practice run (writing wise) at a proper 645z wedding review I'm currently writing for petapixel. I didn't expect them to run this one.
The amount of flaming in the facebook comments is astounding. I truly can't understand why people act the way they do over the internet. Of course it's a silly comparison, thats the point of it. I had some gear here and we said "hey lets try them at the same time".
It's because everyone's an armchair expert these days Gav. The degree of nasty is scary. I've seen reviews which claim the 645z trounces the D810 for shadow detail and noise and yet others say the D810 wins.
I've got a d810 and the amp glow kills almost any shadow lifting beyond a couple of stops anyway. My k-5 has about zero amp glow and I was hoping the d810 could match that standard after my experience of the D800e.
Anyway, I'm considering selling off most of my Nikon kit and keeping the D810 and a core of lenses in favour of a 645Z and three decent lenses. Not being able to actually test one though, makes the process all the more difficult.
Any review is always welcome in light of the fact Dx0Mark have no intention of reviewing the camera.
Cheers
