D800E

The Nikon D800E is a digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Nikon on February 7, 2012. It was a variant of the Nikon D800, distinguished by the absence of an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). This omission was intended to maximize image sharpness and detail, particularly for landscape and architectural photography. The D800E retained the core specifications of the D800, including its 36.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and EXPEED 3 image-processing engine. It offered a wide ISO sensitivity range, 1080p video recording capabilities, and a robust build quality. The D800E was targeted at professional photographers who prioritized ultimate resolution and detail over potential moiré artifacts, which could occur in certain repeating patterns due to the lack of the OLPF. While it delivered exceptional sharpness, users were advised to be mindful of moiré and utilize appropriate post-processing techniques if it arose. The camera featured a sophisticated autofocus system, a high-quality viewfinder, and dual memory card slots. Its release contributed to the growing trend of high-resolution full-frame cameras in the professional market.
