Nikon D800 "Joy Ride" sample video capture

Night street scenes, candlelight, partly lit faces, a fast moving bike, automobile headlights coming straight into your lens, these are tough scenes to shoot with any camera. Nikon has a point to make, and that is that its new D800 full-frame DSLR can shoot awesome HD video.

Just after the announcement of the Nikon D800, the company has posted a short movie titled “Joy Ride”, shot entirely with the new camera, demonstrating its video capabilities. You can watch the 4 minute extreme shooting challenge clip directed by Sandro below, as well as a behind the scenes video.

Nikon D800 full-frame DSLR - on tripod

Nikon has just created a new essential business expense for all its professional photographer friends to the tune of $3,000 — body only. The long rumored Nikon D800 digital SLR camera has just been announced, bearing a new 36.4-megapixel FX-format full-frame sensor. The successor to the D700 is aspiring to do a lot more than its predecessor, inheriting a number of features from the higher-end Nikon D4 (going for $6,000), while being only slightly larger than the D700.

In the D800, you’ll find the same viewfinder, 51 point and 15 cross type autofocus and 91k-pixel 3D Color Matrix metering systems as in the D4. Though, as you would expect, the D800 still won’t be able to compete against the D4 in terms of low-light shooting ability, with ISO up to 6,400 (expanded 25,600).
