Avi,

The D800 is a very nice step up from the D300/D300s. IMO, the image quality is much better and the extra pixels respond very well to photo editing and sharpening. The 2 image "in camera" HDR works great, better AF, better high ISO capability and other nice features.

4fps works very well for me, I have a D300s w/grip when I need 8fps.

Also, in the beginning, I was worried about the large file sizes, but I have reached the point where I don't save every single picture I take, so it has not been a problem. For sports I use the crop mode and the extra reach and lower pixels are welcome. For wildlife and landscapes, the 36mp's provide excellent detail.

Bob
