Okay - it's my fault for not paying much attention to Nikon products. Thanks! :)


I like to push buttons on thingies that take pictures. Sometimes I like to push other buttons, too.
I only bite on the second Tuesday of every week, usually only mean people - they kinda taste like chicken...

So the D800 is their answer to whatever will come after the 5D Mark II and they're ahead of Canon on that ... :-|

Oh well, in a way, since they try to keep up with each other, we have a glimpse of what the 5DMarkIII or whatever they will call it might include.

Let the new gear be on the market for a few months and let the prices shake out a bit.
Rebates are your friend, too :)

If the ISO performance of the D800 is as people are saying, then they are behind the 5DII IMO.

Just started reading about it. 36MP? No wonder they don't want to push ISO on it...

Having seen samples of the d800 and the 1dx at iso 1600, there is only one winner. What does that say of Canon's flagship camera?

Yup. I can use 6400 in a pinch on the 5DII if I need to. But that's the top range of the D800 w/o expansion. Perhaps if you use the full 36MP and do just a little NR, then by the time you print it will be okay, but we won't really know without sample images. I'm certainly all for more MP for my landscape stuff, as long as the IQ is there, but for weddings I also want good high ISO performance.

So why not link to them for the benefit of the thread, instead of being a wiseass?

I do not understand. Is he saying there's some reason not to buy a Canon? Or does he just mean high dollar cameras from Canon?

How rude.

Do you want me to do everything, go do a search and make your own mind up like I have.

Really..went to Nikon, their sample images the highest ISO is 640.

But looked at that one...seems like a decent amount of noise for 640.

Also a search for D800 sample images has now yielded anything other than what Nikon is providing. A few random things from Flikr which no longer come up, random forum crap...anyway. Apparently they are not all over the net.

Well... how can I tell I've found the same images to compare that so easily made up your mind for you? Or are you just putting this out there to create controversy? ???
