"or even higher ISO can buy it with a tool that is better suited for low light and speed, the D4"

Well, as far as High ISO is concerned, the difference between a D800 and a D4 is practically non...

"The reality however is it does not provide the best dynamic range, ...............- only when evaluated by a down sampled (pixel binned) image"

heheheeh! What a "reality check"!...

As a workig pro I don't remember to have ever needed high frames per second rate. That's just for sports shooters and one can argue how much does that have anything to do with the art of photography.

@KSV Just check the DR and the High Iso performance of the D800, since it's just on the top. The "bad DR because of too many pixels" D800 just conveniently happens to have the best DR of all...

CAClark:"It's a simple case of the have-nots having a grudge against the haves."

Right. The haves have a D800 and shoot happily the best images, and the have-nots have to try to get by with their...

My beautiful mother once (that I know) bought a Hermes scarf, and I must say it was on of the most tasteless scarfs she has ever worn. This camera would go well together with that ugly scarf.

It is funny that every time someone talks about Leica someone will mention that boring Henri Cartier Bresson. And still, Henry made pretty interesting pictures compared to all these wannabe Henries...

I bet those screens will be collectors items. You should invest in this superb camera.
