Here is Göran’s conclusion:

Positive

  • Very good high ISO performance
  • More sensitive in H-alpha
  • No need for a computer when doing astrophotography
  • Boosted live view
  • Long exposure M* mode
  • Electronic Front-Curtain Shutter
  • Good battery life

Negative

  • No tiltable LCD
  • No backlit camera buttons
  • Boosted live view can be a bit noisy
  • Higher sensitivity to red light could cause some problem for general daylight photography

The Nikon D810A camera is still not available in the US. According to Amazon, shipping will start on June 8th, 2015.
