A less expensive body makes sense until you consider what the demand for lenses would be. As Irakly Shanidze pointed out, Leica can barely manage current demand.

The B&W treatment reinforces the elegant cleanliness of the composition. Very nice.

Why is Leica so desirable? OK, we know the answer. However, is Leica really the only company capable of designing awe inspiring lenses? No, but they may be the only company willing to make the...

It is clear from this comments thread that there is a tremendous amount of Leica envy. The real issue is not Leica's prices, but the lack of imagination on the part of Canon and Nikon. Though Fuji...

... I too am seeing a similarity in acuity between my D90 and D800. The D800 may have a bit more, but the anti-aliasing filter seems about equal on both cameras. Where the D800 is better is in DR,...

I apologize for my rudeness, arrogance is a little too easy to come by on the internet. Sorry.

I did not say your boat image was out of focus(it is indeed in focus,) but did suggest the acuity of the image could be better. But obviously you are happy with your own definition of what good...

Yep, spent 25+ years with 35mm film. Undeniably, the pristine quality of digital is a shift.

Why not take the quality that both the lens and camera offer? It's clear from the texture in the sweater Aperture is compromising the camera equipment. I too am a user of Aperture, but have...

Congratulations, and it's obvious the PAD project has been fruitful, with some really nice images you've made.

I've had the D800 for a few days only so only have a few samples with the 35 f2 AF, which is actually the first iteration of the 35 AF. However, it has the same optical formula and build as the D...

I have been using NX2 extensively since my D800 arrived a few days ago, and find that Nikon did a great job in making NX2 much more stable and quick in the last major upgrade. My copy is at 2.3.1....

.... are tough! :) The shallow depth of field was purposely done for, um, flair and ambiance. Can't you see it? Nice rendering by the 50 1.8G too. :D I'm finding the quality of OOC jpg's to be a...

.... from a three day old D800. Ordered 3 weeks ago, paid local taxes and got it this past Tuesday. Anyway, a couple of images with the 50 1.8 G. Hope you...

....people do enjoy detail, and if it's there in a large print, many folks will get within inches to inspect/enjoy the detail.

Totally agree with Ms. Oelund. But what is really funny, is the whining by the most entitled group of people on earth when their "fun" is called out. Yep, I belong to that most exalted &...

The earbuds make the first image for me. Wonderful.

Impressive. At %100 I can count the slats on the park bench back in the middle of #9992. With a bit of added sharpening in PS, the detail gets even clearer. Cool.

Mr. Morris, you personally insult and ridicule Mr. Rockwell, yet you visit his site often. That's not credible. By the way, the web site listed in your profile goes to a blank page. Perhaps you...

My early 2008 iMac core duo with 4 gigs of ram is running the D800 raws in NX2 amazingly fast. But Lightroom 4 is molasses compared to Lightroom 3. Nikon did a great job with the last upgrades to NX2.
