One would always expect, or at least hope, that each new model was a step forward.

It's the size of that step that defines its ranking for me.

Look forward to your assessment of it.

Graham,

I do not necessarily agree with everything I read (grin)
but I do hope you will be satisfied with yours.
Regards, Gilbert

I have now used both D800 and D800E and no doubt that images from D800E require far less un-sharp mask in Photoshop and are often show more fine detail strait from camera. 6 months after I had purchased the D800 I found myself wishing I had purchased the D800E.

I think and hope the D810 will prove to be the right camera for me and the time to make the change is now when the D800 is 2 yrs old and still got good 2nd hand value. I will also have a new camera plus 2 yrs guarantee.

I will be interested to know how it performs handheld.

Maybe it's me but I find these higher mp cameras increasingly difficult to capitalise on their ultimate quality without using a tripod.

Being basically a lazy sob I rarely take a tripod out with me, unless it's for a paid assignment. So I am unlikely to realise the potential of 36mp.

Handholding I find the D3 12mp is more forgiving ...that's probably why I never upgraded to the D800.

The Fuji, despite having 24mp, is a match for the D3. This is because being lighter and slower to use, some of the rush and wobble is prevented. Or maybe it's that all my Fuji lenses, unlike the Nikon ones, have image stabilisation?


o.O

Eric, wouldn't being mirroless help the Fuji as well?

The Fuji is currently only 16MP but the next set of Fuji mirrorless cameras are likely to be 24MP.

The mirrorless cameras do have an advantage in the vibration stakes as there is no mirror clacking up and down.

Err... Wouldn't the shutter have closed (and therefore be immaterial) by the time the mirror was lowered? o.O

Some bodies (like the wonderful D200) can have a delay on the shutter to allow the vibes of the mirror slamming against the open buffer to subside before making the exposure. It does make a difference. :hardhat:
