Nikon D800E Top
Although this camera looks like D700, the older model doesn't have the ability to shoot videos while the D800 can take full HD video in both full frame or in DX format. This awesome camera also offers the time lapse function that captures images at optional time intervals which are then combined to make a time-lapse video.

\\\ Body and Look 

The magnesium alloy body is 100 percent water/dust resistant. The body is very well built and not for a full frame camera and well-balanced in the hand.

These buttons : quality, white balance, ISO and exposure bracketing let you control the image quality accurately. These controls may seem daunting at first but rest assured, their learning curve is pretty small. Moreover, the LCD menu is also quite comprehensive and solid.

Ergonomics are very well designed.

\\\ Movies

The button given at the top of the deck can be utilised to record in movie mode. While shooting a still image mid-movie will cause the movie to stop. While in movie mode, auto focus and exposure work very well in movie recording. This is probably the best possible combo we have encountered so far in a DSLR.
