Replied in D800 vs. Canon 1Ds3: Some oservations.
Thanks for the observations.. I used to have a 1ds3 too (and currently have d800e on order). One thing I loved about the 1ds3 was the large bright viewfinder, how do you find the d800 compares...

Replied in consider the Sigma f/1.4
I was in the same boat and went for the Sigma 85 f/1.4 . It is excellent and my favorite lens, most of my shooting with it is at or near wide open. Currently shooting with a lowly D5100 until my...

Replied in D800E, moire, and diffraction.

Replied in UWA on the D800
I considered the same pair but ended up going with the more expensive 14-24, of the two you've suggested though, I think I'd lean toward the Tokina because of the distortion on the 16-35 at 16mm...

Replied in I did the experiment
I was in the same boat as you - I too felt that the fun factor was being compromised by too expensive and heavy gear. I also felt my vacations were becoming too much about photography and not...

Replied in 70-200mm lens from Tamron an Nikon is sharper (at 200mm) than the Canon brand
I believe it.. all sites I've seen (including dpreview itself which tests all 3 of these lenses) put the Tamron in very high regard. Look at thedigitalpicture.com for another angle

Replied in D800 HDR mode
It would be nice if this feature eliminated the ghosting effects of shooting multiple exposures on a tripod when there's object movement between exposures (e.g.- leaves on trees)... but I have a...

Replied in D800 technique guide MIGHT convince me to cancel my order
I'm surprised Nikon would perpetuate this myth in their guide... For a given print size, you will see the same level of blur (no more, no less) than a lower resolution sensor..
I guess its a...
