  2. <p>I just added the D800 to my camera bag. It drives like a Nikon, what else can I say? The advantage for me is the resolution - it gives me an advantage when editing photos. The detail is incredible - and this helps me when masking images.<br> I don't find any of the criticisms to be true - aside from the file size concerns, however, that should serve as motivation to stop any image-hoarding tendencies.<br> My gripes are simple:<br> <strong>After shooting with my D3, battery life for the D800 is HORRIBLE! Reminds me of the D200. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, NIKON????</strong><br> <strong>Where's my FOCUS SELECTOR? Why do you make me stand on my head and tap my ears to change modes?</strong><br> <strong><br /></strong>Aside from that, I love it. It's a high resolution camera, and that's why I bought it. I miss the weight of my D3, but not the size.</p>
  3. <p>I was in the same dilema. The D3 does mostly everything I need - it's not a lacking camera by any means as it excels in every department. If you're shooting in RAW, you can surpass parameters (ie; iso) that you'd be shooting with 35mm film.<br> In the film days, I was never a darkroom or retouching kinda guy - so - the D3 would take care of all my needs for a lifetime and I could get by just fine.<br> <br />Until now. Now I am entirely into post-processing; doing things that others would have done airbrushing or in the darkroom....... the resolution of the D800 opens up a new world of precision for me.<br> <br />Otherwise, for parties - and other "on the go" photos, the D3 will be by my side and I'll use the D800 for portraits and still life.</p>
