You sure you saw the right cat? To me the whole cat is OOF! -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

I do shoot weddings & IMHO there is only ONE shot in these examples that need the extra MP. These examples show the skill & ability of the shooter, except for DOF he would do an excellent job with...

Good one!! -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

Stopped needing it with the 700...if you can't pull something out of a frame you missed the exposure. Would expect the 800 to do as well or better. -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

Bugger all difference really. The one or two examples that show a difference could be focus related. Makes it very hard to pick a winner for me. -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

That it's old news?? -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

...realised he is a troll after all these years & treat him as such. ...OR no EXIF & relevant shooting data no comments. ...Just put him your banned list -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

John just mentioned to me Bill's passing. As I seldom visit any of these forums these days I was unaware of the event. To his family my condolances. To this forum a huge loss. Bill had a...

Since canvas is crap you could go say 10' on the long edge & it would slill loock OK at realistic viewing distances. Top Quality Papers 4' no probs. BUT... it depends on lenses & few other...

HG yes it's been awhile. I agree the AF is just so so good, I'm happy with the old 70-200, yes background separation is great at 2.8 & focus is spot on. On the flash side I went with the...

would be the most practical way to go & already available from 24-85mm -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

Likely nothing new in the D4/D800 stable. And me I would not be upgrading anyway my D700 does all I need at this stage. So glass before body if I want to spend any...

G'day HG 24mp in a D800 not likely!! -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

It's more the small volume of water more than the composition, true the huge expanse of dead rock does not do a lot for the shots, would be better with a longer lens? Some EXIF would help but...

85 1.4 unbeatable, even the old one is a top lens still rather sharp but a dream portrait lens. The new one should be even better in some regards Here is a quick example D700 85 1.4...

The 105 excellent macro far TOO sharp for portait, so will need lots of softening for female portrtature. WMMV but I think most will agree. -- ad http://www.dsphotographics.com/

Are we not splitting hairs here guys? PPing is POST (AFTER) PRODUCTION (CAPTURE) TO ME adjustments to an image after it has been recorded (CAPTURED). Why use post?? to make the image...

Where did I say use a 36mm sensor? People tend to winge about "sever" vignetting now with many lenses—so nothing new. For wedding & portrait work my main sizes are 7x5 & 10x8 so a 3:2 sensor...

I spoke to Olympus Oz about this a few years back. Their comment was very positive, if it was ever passed on to Japan I do not know. In reality it is a rather logical step to take Square sensor,...

The D700 AF ability in low light is beyond belief. As for the AF assist light I turned mine off as the 2.8 zooms block it anyway. Try single centre point & make sure it is not set for...
