UK Website Leaks First Impression Review of Nikon D810 Hours Ahead of Schedule

In a move some will inevitably say was planned by Nikon, but which certainly looks a lot more like a mistake from our end, UK tech website Expertreviews has published (and quickly removed) their entire Nikon D810 review ahead of the official announcement, which is expected late tonight.

According to Nikon Rumors, the accidentally published review was, of course, pulled offline quickly; however, the cached version is still available at this link for you to read in full.

By the looks of it, the D810 is exactly what the rumor sites predicted. Image quality has been improved thanks to an all-new 36.3 megapixel sensor, sRAW capability has been added, the autofocus has been improved to match the D4s, and the processing engine has been upgraded to the Expeed 4 leading to improvements in overall speed (it can shoot 5fps at full res now, and 7fps in DX crop mode). 50/60p video has been added as well, but no 4K… sorry folks.

We’ll cover the full announcement whenever it actually does drop later tonight, but if you’d like to read Expertreviews’ first impressions and be a few hours ahead of everyone else, you can do so here. We won’t judge.
