<blockquote> <p>The AF system is excellent, compared to any other camera.</p> </blockquote> <p>The D800 (and E) do many things well. Its resolution, dynamic range, shadow noise, white balance, and auto exposure accuracy are the best of any camera that I have ever used. Contrast detection autofocus in Live View is amazingly accurate as long as your subject isn't moving.</p> <p>But I cannot agree that the phase detection autofocus system is "excellent, compared to any other camera." My 5D Mark III focuses MUCH more accurately and reliably than my D800E. The D800E is my primary camera. But when reliable autofocus will make or break the shot, I reach for the Canon. If you have a chance to compare the two side by side, as I have on many occasions, the difference will be obvious.</p> <p>I've never used a Df, so I can't comment. I'm glad that the OP likes his.</p>
