Elite  3290     Oliver, BC, "Wine Capital of Canada" |  Subject: Nikon D800I recently acquired the new Nikon D800 and thought I'd share it's amazing resolution capabilities. The D800 is a 36MP full frame DSLR. The samples below show the original image and a highly cropped version. As you can see there is practically no loss of detail at all, even at the extreme crop.

Extreme Veteran 635 Georgia | Subject: RE: Nikon D800 I know nothing about photography, but love this photo. Can I ask a dumb question. What do I have to spend to get a dslr that takes a photo as instantly as my dads dustly old Nikon fe28 film cmera from the 70's ? I have a d80 in a camera bag that has range finder and lens mount problems so Im thinking of a new camera, or film for the old timers camera. |

Nikkor 28-300 3.5/5.6 This lens is not a usual choice for pro photographers but I love it for it's versatility. Yes it's slow but quite sharp. btw - this was hand held too. |

I have a d80 in a camera bag that has range finder and lens mount problems so Im thinking of a new camera, or film for the old timers camera. about 2 years ago I got my Nikon D5000 with 2 lenses for about $500 on sale. It is still going strong though I do need to get some additional lenses. I can sometimes push its ability to capture images to the edge but it has always gotten me the picture I needed. According to Nikon's website the D800 runs about $3k for what thats worth. Also I love that picture |

Since you already have Nikon lenses, have a look at Nikon's new D3200. I believe they are selling for around $700 |

Yes, D300 to 800 I was thinking of getting the 700 but at that time I felt the 800 was going to be released... that was over a year ago. |

Elite 3290 Oliver, BC, "Wine Capital of Canada" | Subject: RE: Nikon D800 moondawg14 - 2012-08-15 10:39 PM Quite a bit of CA from that lens.. I assume only at full magnification and wide open?
Yes, I did not correct the CA, just did a straight crop. Shot wide open. |

I really love some of what the 800 can do but its built for a very diff job. I think i am picking up another D300 as a backup and a D3 this weekend, would love a D3s but i can dream on |
