Nikon's D810A DSLR is designed for shooting stars
If you think that astrophotography is just slapping a camera onto a telescope, Nikon wants to expand your horizons with its latest DSLR. The D810A is a special version of its full-frame sensor D810 aimed squarely at the starshooting and scientific set. In fact, Nikon goes so far as to say that it's "not recommended for general photography" thanks to a modified infrared filter that may distort colors on regular shots. However, the IR tweaks help it "capture the brilliant red hues of diffuse nebulae and constellations" thanks to optimization in the so-called H-alpha spectrum, according to the company.
Nikon's new D810 SLR favors evolution over revolution
It's been two years since Nikon's D800 and D800E SLRs hit the scene, and that's just about an eternity for gadget nerds. What exactly has Nikon been doing since then? Well, aside from working on top-tier beauties like the D4 and D4S, it's also been working on a proper successor to the D800 line. Surprise, surprise: it's called the D810, and it's about the sort of leap forward you'd expect from a modest model number jump.
