Whoa a D810 for a first time DSLR user? I wouldn't recommend it. It's a pro level camera with a steep learning curve.

If your heart is set on a full frame camera, I'd recommend a D610 or Canon's equivalent. Camera technology evolves so fast and becomes obsolete relatively quickly. It's the lenses that are the true investment and should last you many years so I would spend less on the camera body and invest more in good lenses. A great camera body is only as good as its lens (and its user).

Another good resource is dpreview.com - check out the user forums. Word of warning: set aside some time as there's a massive amount of information there!
