Since when does 50% more megapixels automatically = 3x slower processing speed?  Here let me remind you... "Are you willing to put up with 3 times slower processing speed when you work your image...

50 % based on what? Do you just make stuff up? I went from 24mp to 36mp and my Macbook air processes d800 raws fine. This forum is going downhill fast.--“ Your first 10,000 photographs are your...

Too big physically? How?

I can definitely recommend the D800 over the D600.  Lens wise I would recommend the 35mm 1.4g and the 85mm 1.4g.  If you can't get those the 50 will be fine, even the 1.8 is fine.  Ever since I've...

I'm leaving Tuesday for India and this is my first trip ever doing photography and going out of the country.  I'm currently bringing a D800 w/ 35mm 1.4g and 85mm 1.4g in a Lowepro 15L AW bag.  2...

Care to share what types of photography you want to do with them?

It's clear that Nikon offers the better camera as far as IQ is concerned.

Well considering the OP was talking about looking for more pixels, file size is something completely relevant.  If you're going to argue against my post, please provide some actual relevant and...

I recently purchased a D800 and it works perfectly.  The 36mp resolution is phenomenal.  The freedom to crop is worth it.  There is NO downside to 36 mp unless you don't have the money to support...

Thanks Tiki for the great example, I see what you mean about perspective.

So is the 85mm 1.4G only useful for head and shoulder shots of people? And thanks for your response, it was quite helpful and informative!

I understand the 35mm 1.4G is best for walk around type shots and the 85mm 1.4G is best for portraits.  But what are the differences in use?  Can someone compare the strengths and weakness's of...

Cool thanks! Any reason you don't up contrast/sat? --“ Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." – Henri Cartier-Bresson

Can anyone offer any suggestions as far as what jpeg settings they found to work well?  I'm not looking to discuss what's better jpeg or raw, just what seems to work the best with jpeg and a D800....

Your CC is appreciated for sure.  I happened to disagree regarding the grass. Seems to me like a judgment call.  The important part of the image is the subject, and within that subject that part of...

My goal was to make the subject pop.  In the end I don't think anyone cares about the grass, although your CC is much appreciated, and thank you.

Hey everyone.  I shot my heart out on this one, let me know what you think.  Thanks!

LOL. You have got to be kidding me.  Just NO.

Are they slow, or are you too impatient?

Wow.  Thanks for your input...
