Well done Judith as I've said before, I think the d810 is the best all round camera at the moment.

I wonder if, like the D2x in its time, the maximum quality can only be realised when tripod mounted? It's one of my big concerns ...whether I would see much difference between the 36mp and the D750, 24mp sensor, when using it in more casual situations?

Why did you go for the D810 as opposed to the D750?

Or even the D600 that JK holds highly?

I plan to sell my D3 and D7000 in March, and I am still debating (nay vassilating) whether to replace them with one of these or wait for a the holy grail, D400.

I glad you asked that one Eric.
I have the D800 and find it much more demanding to use than the D600 except in the studio where the use of flash negates any camera shake issue.

I really am wondering if 24MP is  that sweet spot.  I just wish Fuji would release a 24MP camera in the X series.

I think I would agree with that Eric, I had a friend come to me with a new D800 and soft images and it took me a while to get through to him it was camera shake.

24mp might be the limit for out and about.

Not sure whether 24mp might even be too much on Fuji sensor size. Ok on FX size.

The D7100 is 24MP on DX and works very well from results I have seen.

Rumour mill says D7200 is to be announced next week at CES in January 2015.
The D7200 is to be like the D750 but DX.

I havent seen any results from the D7100, but you may be right.

I suppose if the conventional wisdom of larger pixels are better is correct, the IQ of the D7100 should suffer more from camera shake than its predecessor the D7000 at only 16mp.

It will be interesting to see if the D7200 will be the D400 in all but name? Nikon may be steadfastly sticking to x000 numbering for DX and consigning x00 to FX from now on.

Eric, I decided on it after reading reviews and comparisons and seeing so many people waxing lyrical about it. And for the first time, I could actually afford to buy something decent that would do me for a looooong time to come! Hopefully it won't prove to be too difficult a beast to drive. I've had a play with the d610 but I just didn't like it. The d810 felt much better in my hands - a bit like the d200.

I think the difference between the D800 and D600 feel is down to the distance between the lens and the grip and also the shape of the grip.

I agree that the D800/810 feels better.
