D810 Noise

[Nancy Jones]

Hi Brian,

Ive recently purchased the D810 and have been getting a lot of noise at low ISO's.  My D4 and D700 perform much better. Is this normal?  Is there something I need to change with the high megapixels when I import or edit.  Not sure if this is a defect as all the reviews I have read said it handles noise a lot better than previous models.

May we see?

Here is an image and a 100% crop with the D810.  You can see my settings and this is sooc with camera calibrations only

Well, you do have 36 million pixels crammed into the same physical area as your D700 & D4. What I think you are seeing is known as "Sensor Grain" and not noise. 

I have heard of problems with the D810 and long exposures creating hot pixels and amp noise. This isn't an example of that. I'd say this is normal and really wouldn't show up on a physical print. 

I'm going to move this to the land of misfits. Let's see if any other D810 users have a similar experience.

Oh, handles noise better than a D800 / D800E. Nikon isn't talking about a D4. Different class of camera.

I see nothing wrong here.  Just normal raw noise.  Easily removed in your software.

Damien, 

So, because this is a high megapixal camera, will I see more noise at 100%? I never experianced this with my other cameras unless i shot underexposed or at a really high ISO.

Thanks

Do you still have the other cameras?  Can you do the testing and show us?
