The Nikon D810 actually produces equally good, or better colours than the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, but is slightly slower in terms of focusing. However, the main reason why this ranks behind its rival counterpart is because of the degree of ease in camera operations. The Nikon D810 is decidedly more geared towards the professional photographer, while with the EOS 5D Mark IV, you can even shoot without fiddling around with all of the settings.

The next in line among cameras that we have used and tested is the Nikon D500, which is also the best DSLR camera to have ever been made. Sharp colour accuracy, good retention of sharpness and low noise rendition, coupled with class-leading auto focus mechanism. The Nikon D500 is the first prosumer DSLR from Nikon in a long time that even pleases the professional veterans, and as a result, can even take on many full-frame DSLRs around, barring certain engineering limitations.
