From the Manufacturer The Nikon D800E The Ultimate Attention to Detail The D800E is a specialized camera that differs from the D800 in just one way yet requires some extra care to get optimal results. Use the information below to determine if the D800 or D800E is right for you. D800 and D800E Which is right for you? Every Nikon DSLR camera uses an optical low pass filter (OLPF) in front of its sensor to slightly blur the image at a pixel level in order to reduce the occurrence of false colors and moiré that can appear when shooting repetitive and/or fine patterns. For the vast majority of photographers, the D800 provides an ideal balance between sharpness and effectively prevented moiré and false color, ideal for shooting using all file formats. D800E is a specialized camera that removes the "effect" of the OLPF, which results in a slight gain in sharpness and resolution and is recommended for studio and still life professionals but carries an increased possibility that moiré and false color will appear. D800 D800E Strikes an ideal balance between sharpness and preventing the occurrence of false color and moiré for consistent performance Slight increase in sharpness and resolution with increased occurrence of false color and moiré Ideal for: All shooting situations All shooting situations Photographers shooting RAW (NEF), JPG or TIFF images Photographers shooting RAW (NEF), JPG or TIFF images Photographers who do not want to adjust their workflow (via software) to mitigate the occurrence of moiré and false color Photographers who do not want to adjust their workflow (via software) to mitigate the occurrence of moiré and false color Ideal for: Studio, commercial and still life photographers who can control their shooting conditions, lens selection and aperture choice, as well as use of software (Capture NX2) to reduce the occurrence of false color and moiré Studio, commercial and still life photographers who can control their shooting conditions, lens selection and aperture choice, as well as use of software (Capture NX2) to reduce the occurrence of false color and moiré Medium format photographers whose current digital system does not utilize an optical low pass filter Medium format photographers whose current digital system does not utilize an optical low pass filter Shooting RAW (NEF) Shooting RAW (NEF) What else is different?
