DIGITAL CAMERA

Nikon D810

$4,888

Step up your shots with this 36.3-megapixel full-frame digital SLR camera by Nikon.

It offers the ability to record in full high-definition video, letting you record 1,080p movies at 60 frames per second (fps).

For low-light shots, the wide ISO range of 64 to 12,800 helps to deliver rich detail in every shot.

The Expeed 4 image-processing engine and the new CMOS sensor crunch data quickly, allowing for continuous shooting at 5fps in full-frame format, and 7fps in cropped format - great for shooting still and moving subjects.

If you are looking for a high-quality stand for your Apple iPad, the iSlider is worth considering. Weighing 230g, the iSlider's stand slides into the base, making it more compact. A carrying bag is also included for extra portability.

The iSlider's aesthetic suits the iPad. Its anodised sandblasted aluminium case mirrors Apple's design. The stand has support for multiple viewing and typing angles.

It supports both landscape and portrait orientations.
