True the D610 and the D810 require more care to avoid camera shake, but as I learned with the D610, it has realy good high ISO, compared to D2x etc. and so in most cases the problem is solved with higher shutter speeds. The old 1/focal length, as a minimum handheld for me is now 1/focal length x2. This would be 1/100 sec for a 50mm lens. Consider also that these cameras are quite large and with practice easy to hand hold at lower speeds especially with VR on, which should only be used at low shutter speeds or it causes shake. An small light ASP/C format 24mg pix will give as much or more shake than a D810 in similar circumstances.

You are right. I followed the faster shutter speed option with the D2X but as you say, it's useable ISO ceiling limited success. The D3 was a godsend giving latitude in ISO and pixel size. It's true technology has moved on and what once was unacceptable pixel density is now quite usable. Maybe the D810 with its higher ISO and sensor developments is not a 'bridge too far'. But unless you are doing a lot of large scale printing or heavy cropping I wonder if it's a 'bridge unnecessarily far'? Those file sizes concern me. But as Judith points out more critical deleting could be the answer. Having not upgraded my Nikon gear for some time, 2015 is going to be exciting as I get rid of the old and .....make my mind up what new to get.

Go on, you know you want to....I've had a wee mini play in the pretty crappy light of the living room - only a teeny bit life in the battery out of the box. I'm well impressed. The camera is slightly lighter than the d200 and very similar in size and feel which is great. The 24-70 is a heavy beast but I think it's only 200g heavier than my 70-300. Will have to try both out for size and weight to compare. I took a few exciting (not) pics of the armchair opposite where I'm sitting. The d810, of course had no difficulty coping with the lighting conditions and took a perfectly lit, sharp photo. The d200 couldn't even take a photo, even when pushed to 1600 ISO. So, first impressions are a big smiley yayy!! :thumbsup: Also, when I was collecting it earlier in John Lewis, there was a specialist Nikon consultant at the camera counter so I had a wee chat with her. Turns out she is there 2 days a week to deal with customer enquiries (and sell, obviously) so if I have any doubts about which buttons to press, I've to drop in and see her. Good to know.

Judith, Now is the time to get your D200 looked at by Nikon. Take it to the lady in JL and get her to get it sorted.

I'm with Eric, it's as mane that black and gold stuff spoiles the shot. At least you are sorted, I'm still wondering what way to go with my kit. All you need to do now is get out and take some pics.
