A camera focused better in low light than in good light?!? OH THE HORROR!!Not to mention that you apparently took ONE shot in each location and made a conclusion.You have almost 6,000 posts on this...

I wouldn't say 100%. No camera is 100%, and anybody who says their camera gets perfect AF every time, under every condition, with every lens with every focus point is 100% lying!My d800 focuses...

Yup. Nikon repair seems garbage. I'm in the UK.I sent my d800 in for a sensor clean as it was covered with oil splatters.It came back with the oil all pushed to the top of the image, not removed at...

+20 *is* within specificationAnd if 3 separate people from Nikon, including managers, have told you it's fine- then it's user error.Nikon basically told you "it's fine. No go away". If you still...

So if the failure rates of 8Gb and 64Gb cards are the same, the risk of using a 64Gb card is much higher.

D800E28/1.8G or Sigma 35/1.4 (and the bokeh on the sigma is great)Nikon 85/1.8GThen either the 70-200/2.8 VR I or 14-24 or 16-35 depending on whether you prefer wide or long.They're all great...

I have the RF-603s. They work great with my d800 and 4 yongnuo flashes. Sync cleanly at 1/200 every time. Sometimes have sync errors at 1/250 (i.e. small black band at the bottom of frame).  They...

It depends. A photo of the night sky or a cityscape could easily have a histogram piled up in the left and that would be absolutely correct. There is no way that any camera or computer can give the...

This thread just shows a LOAD of hearsay.Nikon said that the d800 and d4 share the same AF, period. They are newer systems, better than the previous, so all this "oh my d700 was better" is...

The problem imo is that it tries to be TOO clever. It tried to guess whether you want highlights savings, tries to guess about whether there are faces in the image etc. Frankly, I want matrix mode...

To be honest, no camera is going to be perfect in this situation. If the dog is running directly towards the camera, the focus needs to change at the fastest rate. You can help things by stopping...

Nice comparison.And to be honest - all apart from the 7D look great at ISO6400. That's all you practically need. 12800+ are just for emergencies, but it's amazing how some of them still look good!

User error, or a duff camera. Not representative of the D800 overall performance!

I have a very similar machine and Lightroom was feeling slow for me too eventually. Re-installing Windows did the trick for me - a nice clean install not bogged down by other crap. Also, keep the...

The d800 is better, all things considered. D600 isn't far behind though.

Stop pixel peeping. Learn to hold the camera steady.The amount of camera shake is exactly the same, no matter what camera you use. You just see it more if you look at 100% on a d800. But at the...

D800 autofocus is fantastic. Despite lots of people yapping about problems on internet forums, the AF system is brilliant - my camera is fast, decisive and accurate. And the high ISO is incredibly...

It's just personal preference really. I actually don't like the D800 in terms of comfort, and I think the ISO and white balance buttons are in a STUPID position. But the image quality and...

Hopefully you can toggle it on/off with a firmware upgrade. I like the "what you see is what you get" but it would be good to be able to see the shot when you are shooting in a studio etc.

You also have to factor in technical advancement too. Like 3-4 years of technology means that the d800 or d600 has less noise at a pixel level than the d700. The best comparison really is d800 vs...
