Nikon D800 Digital Camera Review

Durability

Like most professional-level digital SLRs, the NIkon D800 is capable of surviving life in some fairly moist and dusty environments. The camera is weather-sealed to survive field-work, with a magnesium alloy shell to provide durability when using the camera out in the wild. The insides are also fairly durable, with a shutter tested to "well over" 200,000 cycles, according to Nikon. If cared for properly, the Nikon D800 should last anyone quite some time, even when put through the abuse of a professional workload.
