The Nikon D800 is a 36.3-megapixel professional-grade full-frame digital single-lens reflex camera produced by Nikon Corporation. It was given a Gold Award by Digital Photography Review.{{cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d800-d800e|title=Nikon D800 Review|website=dpreview.com|access-date=11 April 2018}}

It was officially announced on February 7, 2012, and went on sale in late March 2012{{cite press release |url=http://press.nikonusa.com/post/2012/02/06/expectations-surpassed-the-36-3-megapixel-nikon-d800-is-the-multimedia-hd-slr-that-shatters-conventional-resolution-barriers-for-maximum-fidelity/ |title=Expectations Surpassed: The 36.3-Megapixel Nikon D800 Is The Multimedia HD-SLR That Shatters Conventional Resolution Barriers For Maximum Fidelity |publisher=Nikon Inc. |date=February 6, 2012 |access-date=February 6, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830121517/http://www.canon.ru/For%5FHome/Product%5FFinder/Cameras/Digital%5FSLR/EOS%5F7D/ |archive-date=August 30, 2011 }} for the suggested retail price of $2999.95 in the U.S., £2399 in the UK, and €2892 in the Eurozone.{{cite web|url=http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Nikon_D800/ |title=Nikon D800 Review at Camera Labs |first=Gordon |last=Laing |publisher=CameraLabs.com |date=February 2012 |access-date=March 20, 2012}} Shortly after the camera went on sale, Nikon's UK subsidiary increased the price of the D800 in that market by £200 to £2599, saying that the original price was due to an "internal systems error". However, Nikon honored the original price for all pre-orders placed before March 24, and added that no price changes would be made in other markets.{{cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/03/26/nikon-uk-d4-d800-price-rise |title=Nikon UK confirms price rises to D4 and D800, but honours pre-orders | website=Digital Photography Review |date=March 28, 2012 |access-date=March 28, 2012}}

At the time of its release, the Nikon D800 became the Dxomark image sensor leader, replacing the Nikon D4 in the top position.{{cite web |url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/News/DxOMark-news/The-Nikon-D800-is-the-new-king-of-DxOMark-with-a-score-of-95 |title=The Nikon D800 is the new king of DxOMark with a score of 95 |date=March 22, 2012 |access-date=May 6, 2012 |archive-date=October 7, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131007062836/http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/News/DxOMark-news/The-Nikon-D800-is-the-new-king-of-DxOMark-with-a-score-of-95 |url-status=dead }}

D800E

The D800E is a specialized version which uses a new optical anti-aliasing filter with no low-pass filter effect (no blurring) to obtain the sharpest images possible.[http://www.robgalbraith.com/multi_page75a4.html?cid=7-11674-12304 Nikon D800 with 36.15 million image pixel sensor] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131222210724/http://www.robgalbraith.com/multi_page75a4.html?cid=7-11674-12304 |date=2013-12-22 }} Rob Galbraith Nikon claims that possible aliasing effects (moiré) can be lessened by software-processing in camera or external programs like Nikon's Capture NX2.

Reviewers have pointed out that although increased moiré is difficult to remove in post-processing, it is relatively easy to combat while photo-taking (such as by changing the angle, aperture or position). Furthermore, moire is rarely found in photos (besides man-made, repeated patterns such as in architecture or textiles). The lack of low-pass filter brings about a small improvement in optical resolution in the 800E, especially in portraits with larger apertures, where diffraction is not an issue. Even minimal diffraction negates the advantage of the 800E.{{cite web |url=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d800-d800e/34 |title=Nikon D800 Review Conclusion |access-date=July 16, 2012}}

= Mislabelled D800 as D800E fraud =

Nikon has advised that there are mislabelled Nikon D800E in circulation that are actually the D800 model with the front cover replaced so as to appear like a D800E. A D800 modified to appear to be a D800E is not covered under Nikon warranty.{{Cite web |url=https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63056 |title=Notice regarding fraudulent Nikon D800E digital SLR (Fraudulently modified D800) cameras |access-date=2015-03-03 |archive-date=2015-02-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150210180345/https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63056 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|url=http://petapixel.com/2014/12/16/nikon-warns-fake-d800e-dslrs-wild/|title=Nikon Warns That There Are Fake D800E DSLRs Out in the Wild|date=16 December 2014|website=petapixel.com|access-date=11 April 2018}} Nikon advises users to "please take all necessary precautions to ensure the authenticity of a camera before purchasing one".

To detect fake models the user has to display an image captured with the camera in the camera's monitor. The name of the camera used to capture the image will be displayed at the top right corner of the display when the overview display option is enabled in full-frame playback mode. If the correct model number is displayed, it is authentic.{{cite web |url=http://petapixel.com/2014/12/16/nikon-warns-fake-d800e-dslrs-wild/ |title=How to detect fake Nikon D800E |date=16 December 2014 |access-date=14 August 2015}}
