D800 press release

Cool to see crazy 25,600 iso. Even if it is super noisy.

Still, the lack of skew etc is pretty amazing. Wonder what they did.

Perhaps due to something called: The evolution of the technology?

The video is horrible.

Of course it is! Somebody else filmed it!

Priceless.

I disagree. It's not a bad indicator of what the D800 can do... nothing looks over or under exposed and the camera holds up nicely. I don't see any of that mushy bluey chroma noise in the shadows we'd get on the canons.

Although I don't agree with the edit choices like enabling blurry frame blending slow-mo, or shooting at 30 fps.

...shows where the photographer lacks when lighting for dslr video. Looks like a cheesy band video. D800 is doing alright by DSLR standards.

EDIT: I tend to like videos that push the limits of the camera a little, and this music video did that. The lighting was a bit harsh for dslr video. So, in the sense that as a prospective buyer I want to see the camera pushed or in a variety of conditions, this video+bts video was a success for me. But it is a subpar music video - imho.

The right pictures just has more contrast. The whites are more bright. That's a difference that an OLPF would not do.

When I said "I wonder what they did." I meant "I wonder what process they're using." And, then someone posted something saying "how".

You might need to calm down a slight bit.

Perhaps enhanced for the press?

Where did they say this was shot with the 800? Because its a pretty bad example for them to promote the camera. I sees big difference in highlight handling from this and the joyride daylight shots.

I said, 'supposing this BTS video was shot on Nikon D800'. Did not intend for you to think I was stating fact.

I found the Joy Ride BTS also d7000-ish looking. A side by side comparison, will most likely show some differences. This is an initial impression I get from the web videos.
