Pretty blown away with the D800 Spec – if only it had a faster DX shooting speed of around 8fps (it does 5 normally & 6 with the grip) and shot 1080p at 60fps – then it would appeal to every photographer going.

If this camera can throughput 4fps @ 36 MP, I wonder why it struggles to achieve more than 6fps in DX 15MP crop mode?  Yet to see sample images, but if the noise handling is as capable as the D700 then this will be a winner.

I’m sure a camera with lower MP’s and much better noise handling and dynamic range is next on the agenda.  Still, as a Canon shooter I can say that this is the first time in a long while that Nikon have caught my attention.

I eagerly await the Canon 5D MK3 to take over from my MK2, and I have still to decide if getting a 1DX would be worth the extra wonga over the 1D MK4. But damn, this D800 footage looks very, very clean – I look forward to seeing some raw video files against the 5D2.
