What's the difference between Nikon D800 and D800E?

The biggest difference between D800 and D800E is whether there is a low-pass filter. In fact, 800E also has a filter, but the definition will be better than that of 800, which will have a certain effect on people with high image quality requirements. As for how to choose, it depends on your choice.

Quote: For example, does Nikon D800E have a low-pass filter? The answer is yes, but this kind of filter does not have the characteristics of ordinary low-pass filter to reduce moire fringes by disturbing the incident angle of light. In other words, the low-pass filter of Nikon D800E doesn't work.

So, if it doesn't work, why put something like this in the fuselage? Wouldn't it be easier to get rid of it The answer is that Nikon D800 and D800E have the same optical path design. If the filter is removed, the optical path may change and the imaging quality may be affected. In other words, first of all, Nikon D800 designed a low-pass filter when it was developed. When designers began to consider whether to get higher resolution by removing the function of low-pass filter, they did not intend to redesign the optical path, but only removed the function of the original low-pass filter-the filter itself was still there.

We have to ask again, why is Nikon D800E 300 yuan more expensive than D800? Nikon's official answer is that the price will be slightly more expensive, because this change involves design and manufacturing costs.
