first copy had a problem but was easily returned and replaced. The replacement has the same basic problem and will not format the memory card. I have no idea why?

Love this camera! Nothing to complain about. This is the 3rd refurb I have bought from Adorama, started with the D200, then went to the D700, and now D810.

I use this camera as a professional, for this price and image size, the noise at 800 to 1600 is unbelievably bad for this camera. Still far behind Canon camera's for this price range. Better tracking on the D750 and very close in image clarity.

I have read accounts of Nikon refurbished cameras appearing fairly rough to like new....I appear to have gotten one that looks just like a new Nikon D810 out of a factory new box. So far it is performing very well. I have an older early serial number D810 and the refurbished one has a very recent serial number and the latest firmware updates. It was missing the screen protector so I called Adorama Customer Service and they got a brand new one out to me free of charge. I am very pleased with the camera and totally happy with Adorama. I'd highly recommend a Nikon D810 from Adorama as they totally stand behind anything they sell.

I bought the Nikon D810 as a refurbished item, but when it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. Other than the fact that the label on the box said "refurbished" I could not tell that this camera had been used before. I'm still learning all of the nuances of this camera, but it is a definite step up from my old D7100! The only minor drawback is that there was no user manual in the box. This was easily worked around by downloading it from the Nikon website.

Camera refurbished by Nikon was indistinguishable from a new product. It did not come in a new product box, but was carefully packaged in a white box with the Nikon logo. It came with all the same accessories as new, except: it did not have the hot shoe cover and did not have the monitor cover. Both of those items are available as replacement parts from Adorama for a moderate price. It also did not include the software disk or manual. Both of these are available as downloads from the Nikon website. I have a D800 and love it. The D810 is very much like the D800 but with at least a half generation newer technology. Color is excellent, resolution is excellent. It has no antialiasing filter, unlike the D800E, which really still had an AA filter that was altered to be less obvious. I have bought several refurbished cameras and lenses (by Nikon) and have always had a good experience.

This was the third refurbished camera body I've purchased from Adorama, and each has come quickly and exactly as described. I haven't had the body for more than a few weeks but sofar it has preformed flawlessly. No noticable dings or marks on the camera itself, and very clean. Nikon does a great job with their refurbished equipment.

The camera looked and seems brand new. No problems of any sort, no marks or blemishes. And saved about $ vs new. I couldn't be happier.

D810 Nikon Refurb, in great condition, and is performing well so far. I've bought one or two Nikkor refurbs (lenses) in the past without any problems, so I figured the same would be true of a Nikon refurb of the D810. So far so good :) Item was at least as good as described by the Adorama web site. I've previously bought used from them, had an issue, which was resolved, so I have no problem buying from Adorama, new or used.

Some minor signs of wear are evident on this camera primarily in the area of the tripod mount where rub marks can be seen. This is not noticeable once the tripod mount was installed. The camera itself functions as though it were brand new. I was surprised by the basic packaging used for shipping the camera. I wasn't necessarily expecting original packaging but the packaging that it came in (one layer of bubble wrap taped over it and otherwise tossed into an oversized box containing similarly wrapped accessories) seemed to be shy of the level of care one might expect with shipping a pricey electronic item. At minimum the extra space in the box should be filled with additional packing material. When the box was placed in another box the void between them also should have been filled. Another item of interest was the accessories shipping with the camera. Most appeared to be in excellent condition while the battery looked like it may have been skipped across a parking lot a few times before being wiped off and placed in the box. While I wasn't expecting everything to be in stellar condition here the receipt of a battery in this condition was a stand out against a background of otherwise well maintained gear.

My camera came and it is amazing! You would never know it’s refurbished. It is like brand new! Love it. I’m so happy!

This is my first full-frame camera. Typical Nikon quality. Heavy, but built like a tank. Looking forward to years of reliable quality service. As a Nikon owner already, no real learning curve. Easy to use, although this does more than my D7200.

I saw this refurb being advertised by Adorama at about $200 under the going price (which is already a bargain). I immediately ordered it, not knowing how long that price or the supply would last. It was promptly shipped UPS ground at no charge. When I received it, the appearance was as new and subsequent usage confirmed evrything worked well. Since it was a refurb I checked the total shutter actuations. It was delivered with 286 clicks, nothing where a D810 is concerned. I did notice the plastic back screen protector was missing and I emailed Adorama. They sent out a new one at no charge within 24 hours. I'm impressed. With the D810. With Adorama.

Always purchased new in the past. Have bownloaded a manual from Nikon as wall as purchased D. Bushes book and am very satisfied with my D810. Will consider Referb’s in the future. Nikon seems to have done an excellent job.

I was nervous with the d810 being a refurb but all that changed when I inspected the body. No scuffs or scratches on the display. This was an excellent experience especially for an affordable pro grade camera.

I just took delivery of this camera yesterday and am very excited to be upgrading from a D800. The camera looks clean and new, but I was really disappointed to see the master image count on the body I received was approaching 28,000. I’m hoping for the best.

The camera was everything I expected and more—low shutter count, impossible to tell apart from new, and 90 day warranty, all at the same price as used. The standout for me was Adorama's customer service: Nikon forgot to include the LCD cover, so I reached out to Adorama to see what could be done. Even though Nikon goofed, Adorama fixed the issue. I can't stress enough how much their extra effort meant.

For the price of a refurbished d810 you can't go wrong. The camera works perfectly and has a low shutter count. This camera outperforms any other in resolution so far. Yes I would recommend buying this product

Got my Refurbished Nikon D810 from Adorama 2 weeks ago. Started using it right away and it's working great. Adorama's customer service person said I would be very pleased with this refurbished camera and they were right. Delivery was fast. Getting excellent reviews from pictures posted using this camera.

I would recommend this camera to a photographer that knows what they're doing but is looking to save money. I have rented a d810 before and I fell in love with it and decided I wanted my own. Since I'm still starting out my business, I needed to go the cheaper route but I didn't trust eBay or Craigslist. I was originally going to buy a refurbished d810 from the Nikon site but adorama offered a 2 year warranty instead of 90 days. And they're customer service is a lot better!

A couple years ago I bought a SB900 speed light, refurbished from Adorama and it has worked flawlessly. So I recently purchased a Nikon D810 from Adorama refurbished as a Nikon D610 upgrade, it has also worked like it was brand new. Although it has only been a couple weeks, I can tell this camera is awesome! I have attached some photos as reference. If by chance any change to the status of this purchase happens, I will update promptly.... Thanks Adorama!!!

Excellent camera. It came in a white Nikin box that said refurbished. Inside was the camera, battery, charger, sync cable, strap and warranty. No plastic lcd protector or manual (i think). The camera itself is in brand new condition. Everything works exceptionally well. I"m very satisfied. I had the D810 before but sold it when I made the jump to Fuji. Now we're back in each others arms again.

"As a full-time professional wedding and portrait photographer, the D810 has served as a perfect DSLR for my needs. For portraits, the detail and image quality, thanks to the 36.3 megapixel sensor and EXPEED 4 Image Processor, is flawless. And with the amazingly wide dynamic range and low light capabilities, this camera allows me to shoot in any lighting situation on a wedding day with total confidence."
The Nikon D810 Digital SLR Body Only Camera takes its place as the high resolution option in the Nikon DSLR lineup. It features a 36.3MP FX-format CMOS sensor without an Optical Low Pass Filter for particularly sharp and detailed still imaging. With the addition of the EXPEED 4 Image Processor, performance speed is increased compared to the EXPEED 3 and noise is effectively reduced throughout the ISO range. Continuous shooting speed in FX format is 5 fps and in DX format hits a maximum of 7 fps. In addition, the full HD video capabilities of the D810 have been upgraded to include 1080p capture at 24, 30 and 60 fps. Also, the improved efficiency of the processor enables up to 1200 shots on one battery charge and 40 minutes of video recording. Low light performance has been upgraded thanks to a wide native ISO sensitivity range that runs from 64 to 12,800 and can be expanded from 32 to 51,200.
The advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor offers 51 AF points with 15 cross-type sensors and Group Area AF enables five AF sensors to be used as one group. This is useful when shooting subjects that cannot be tracked easily by one AF point due to lighting conditions.
As a camera optimized for video capture, the D810 features recording in both FX and DX formats including simultaneous recording to memory cards and an external recorder as well as recording 60p output to an external recorder. The ISO range for video has also been expanded to run from ISO 64 to 12,800 and expand to 51,200. Automatic ISO adjustment in manual mode enables smooth exposure transitions. A built-in stereo microphone is supported as are jacks for an external mic and headphones. A selectable audio frequency range provides exacting control over sound recording.
A 3.2" LCD with 1,229K-dot resolution provides playback viewing and live view and improved coatings on the optical viewfinder components provide brighter images and more accurate colors. Live View function now includes split screen display zoom for stills and zebra highlighting display in video mode. Full aperture metering during live view for still shooting is supported.
Interval and time-lapse shooting feature exposure smoothing and the maximum number of images per sequence is now 9,999. Improved Picture Control settings now offer Flat Picture Control to enable maximum dynamic range and color adjustments in post-production.
The D810 utilizes dual media slots for both Compact Flash and SD cards and it provides a built-in flash with i-TTL metering as well as a hot shoe mount. A larger grip enables comfortable control for extended shooting and a secondary "i" button has been added to back panel for faster access to important settings.
36.3MP FX-Format CMOS Sensor without an Optical Low Pass Filter
Nikon's highest resolution sensor is housed in the D810 and by omitting the Optical Low Pass Filter, the sensor provides superior sharpness and detail. The sensor boasts fast channel readout, wide dynamic range, rich tones and improved imaging at high sensitivities.
EXPEED 4 Image Processor
The EXPEED 4 processor provides 30% faster performance over the EXPEED 3 as well improved low noise imaging throughout the ISO range. Support for 1080p video capture at 60 fps is featured and the processor's increased efficiency enables up to 1200 still shots and 40 minutes of video recording per charge.
Native ISO Range of 64 to 12,800
The improved ISO range compared to the D800 enables more effective low light imaging and the ISO can be expanded from 32 to 51,200.
Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX Auto Focus Sensor
Versatile AF Modes of 9, 21 and 51 points and 3D tracking enable fast, precise auto focus control. AF sensitivity down to -2 EV is effective in low light and 15 cross-type sensors are compatible with AF NIKKOR lenses with open aperture of f/5.6 or faster. Eleven central focus points work with an open aperture of f/8. Improvements include upgraded 'lock-on', expanded 'store by orientation,' and more options for AF mode restrictions.
Group Area AF
Group Area AF enhances subject detection and tracking in challenging lighting conditions or when shooting comparatively small subjects against a high-contrast background by grouping and monitoring 5 individual AF points. The 5-point AF area can be shifted across the 51-point array as your composition changes.
RAW Size S
Accelerate your workflow with Nikon's RAW Size S file format which delivers 12-bit uncompressed Nikon NEF files that enable faster image transfer and smoother post-production.
Continuous Shooting
In FX mode, the D810 can shoot up to 5 fps and in DX mode it can capture up to 7 fps when utilizing the MB-D12 battery grip with AA batteries.
Reduced Vibration for Sharper Imaging
The D810's shutter/mirror box architecture and electronic front-curtain feature improve overall image clarity. The shutter/mirror mechanism reduces image shake for a steady viewfinder image with minimal blackout during high-speed shooting. When activated, the electronic front-curtain shutter reduces the risk of blur in even subtle details by minimizing internal vibrations during exposure.
Quiet Continuous Mode
A redesigned Sequencer/Balancer Mechanism enables Quiet Continuous Mode for near silent sequential shooting.
Picture Control
In addition to standard, neutral, vivid, monochrome, portrait and landscape, image control options have been expanded to include Flat Picture Control which is geared for shooting in RAW modes and for video capture when adjustments will be made in post-production. Also, a clarity option has been added to all Picture Control settings and better control over Picture Control is enabled by fine 0.25 steps.
Full HD 1080p Video Capture in 60/30/24 fps
Video recording is supported in both FX and DX formats with an ISO range from 64 to 12,800 and expandable to 51, 200. Simultaneous recording to memory cards and to an external recorder is now supported. Auto ISO adjustment is possible in manual mode for smooth exposure transitions. Nikon's 3D noise reduction reduces random noise, distortion and flicker when filming at high sensitivities. Zebra mode on the camera monitor shows you exactly where highlights are. A built-in stereo microphone as well as jacks for external microphone and headphones are provided. You can fine-tune audio levels in isolation both before and during recording and select the sound range (wide/voice).
3.2" LCD Monitor with 1,229k-dot Resolution
A high resolution LCD provides detailed playback viewing and live view capture with color balance and brightness control. A split screen display zoom for still shooting lets you compare two enlarged points in the image for sharpness and exposure.
Optical Viewfinder
Improved coatings on the optical components render brighter and more accurate color and the Organic EL information display makes it easier to make adjustments under bright/dim conditions.
Interval Timer/Time-Lapse Shooting
Exposure smoothing is supported in time-lapse and interval shooting modes and the number of recordable images has been increased to 9,999.
Flash
Both a built-in flash and hot shoe mount are supported with i-TTL metering, as is a flash sync terminal. The built-in flash offers commander mode for wireless control of up to two groups of off-camera flash units.
CF and SD Card Slots
Two card slots are supported for versatile image storage and smoother workflow. One CF card slot for high-speed UDMA 7 cards and one SD card slot for high-speed, high-capacity SDXC and UHS-I cards allow you to use one card as back-up or place still images on one card and video on the other or RAW on one and JPEG on the other.
Form Factor
A deeper hand grip improves handling and a secondary "i" button has been added for easier access to important settings. A durable magnesium alloy body with extensive weather and dust sealing ensure the D810 is moisture- and dust-resistant.
