Nikon D800 who wants one?

**RADCOM** · 04-27-2012, 08:56 AM

I've just read a very favourable review of this marvelous prosumer camera and I want it lol. Resolution wise it competes with a large format camera for a fraction of the price. roll on next birthday :-)

And heres a nice lense to go with it Nikon 6mm

Highest rated camera on DxO. It's definitely in a class of it's own for performance/dollar. There is nothing else in the world like it. Being a wildlife photographer I'd rather have a D4 or D400. However comparing it to large or medium format cameras is apples to oranges. What makes a medium/large format camera different from a FX (35mm) is the physical size of the sensor instead of the pixels packed into the sensor.

Plus the D600 should be out around September-December. D3200 with a FX sensor for around $1500. Rumors as of now but highly likely.

I have a D7000 and it's a lovely camera, I also have a D5000, I would gladly trade them both for that D800.

hit me up when you want to drop that 7000 ;p

I'm okay with my D5100 for now. Does everything I need it to do, maybe not everything I want it to...I can even photograph race cars at night and make a decent 11x14.

Landscapes that aren't moving I can easily take 4 shots and stitch in post, ~60MP...

Its more like who doesnt want it.

Tho its not all sunshine and rainbows..

At least 2 cases of camera explosion. Few batches of battery is a bit.. dangerous.

LCD has green tint (messed up WB of LCD). LiveView is wierd and not much usefull, especially not under dim light.

Otherwise its fine. Just I would probably wait a bit until they catch all bugs.

Lately theres tendency to release "beta versions" of camera. 5DMK3 isnt exception, other horribly flawed in all ways is Fuji X-PRO 1. Tho thats probably not "beta version" thats just Fuji being.. well Fuji.

D700 is right now good buy, if you dont need 36 mpix..

i want more then 12mp, HD and AF video though!

Nikon says the "green cast" on the lcd preview is accurate. They claim it's a correction from earlier models.

It makes me want to move to Nikon

**nuclearjock** · 11-20-2012, 11:08 PM

I'm REAL happy with mine! Resolution (cropability), and dynamic range are superb.

Seems your D800 is in right hands. Nice photo.

**RADCOM** · 11-21-2012, 03:46 PM

nice shot nuclearjock. I rented one for a wedding and it was awesome. Now the D600 is out and has the same controls as D7000 the game is truly on. ( not to mention the price) Do you find that your hard disk space and opening up a days worth of shots tiresome?

Not at all. My PC handles the large files very well. They usually get a simple pass through LR4 and that's it. Very seldom do I have to use CS6 for anything. I shoot .nef, crop for composition, sharpen a tad, and deal with recovering dark areas if necessary and that's it. Resize and save as a jpeg and I'm good to go. I love the D800 so much that I'm contemplating adding a D800E as well.

Holy Guacomole "As well" lol Are you a professional photographer or just a well heeled enthusiast :-) You have a serious truckload of Kit there.

I shoot kids soccer and fast pitch softball to pay for my gear. Been doing it for ~ 10 years now hence the "collection". Wildlife and landscapes in my downtime. Forgot my 500. Sold a few lenses as well. List should be up to date.
