While lens can be a problem I doubt that it is in your case, I suspect it is the settings you are using. Also, please note that the 1D2 is about 10 years old now, so it can't be compared with the...

...50/1.8 and the 24-70. While the 50/1.8 is a budget lens and may not be very fast I would certainly not call the 24-70 a standard zoom and would expect to be faster than any other zoom in that...

...several settings. There is a parameter (I don't remember the name of it now) which is about how fast the subject movements should be detected by the camera. Set that to the fastest possible and...

Very nice capture, even though the PP isn't really my taste.

What's your problem? Don't you think his question is relevant and interesting to get an answer to, for everybody else except you of course...

Good to hear that you sound happy with the D800 now. I have still not done the update because I had no issues and I am afraid that I will have after the update. Have you heard about anyone having...

I KNOW what I can do and what I can not. You don't. Flying bouquet was a lousy example of need for high burst rate.

Exactly. Another advantage of the 1.2 crop mode is that a larger image area is covered by the AF sensors. Of course, for a 5D3 fan that's not enough, they can always find something against the 1.2...

...and the D800 is even better than the D600 for landscapes for half the price (or maybe even less) of the D4.

OK, true regarding the 1/4000 but I have no idea about your "sub par AF" comment. That sounds pretty trollish to me, I have not heard of any AF problems with the D600. ...says who exactly? You?...

:-) I can capture that with a "finger frame rate per second" camera as well. How do you think people shot weddings before the digital era? I mean, really, if you can't catch the bouquet being...

Likewise.

Exactly. Nikon has the D600 24MP 5.5fps camera, the D800 36MP 4fps camera, the D4 16MP 11fps camera. Pretty much every need is covered, but of course, if you blame the gear there is always a 5D3...

Well, so be it. Nikon is deaf and blind because they definitely believe that there is no market for such a camera, or not possible to make for the price people are ready to pay for. Exactly. And...

You said... "I would pay Nikon $1000 to put a modern DX sensor in my 6 year D300 body, if they could get it to work." ...and my answer was... "That won't happen, at least not for $1000." The answer...

Yes, I know the D700 is faster but I still don't think it is such a big issue and I still doubt there is a market for a D800 with less MP. I also doubt that the D700 was the number one choice of...

...at least not that cheap.

Very nice images, especially the first two.

...no green cast and no AF issues with my camera, so I have not done the update yet. Maybe one of these days I'll do it, but I am afraid that I might get pink cast and AF issues after the update,...

That's very individual. For myself with most lenses the old 1/FL still works very well, even though I am now 57. As a matter of fact, indoors or without any wind I can shoot even faster than...
