The D4 result looks pretty good as well. I think I alluded to it before that I thing that 24MP is the sweet spot for digital but that is only at this point in time. New technology updates will move these goal posts. I am finding that 16MP gives me great image quality and when I get a better RAW processor for the XPro1 RAW files then I will really be able to test fully. So a 24MP DX (D400 ?) or FX (D600 ?) camera will be very nice but since Nikon pushed the boat out with the D800 then I'll have to accept the extra MP and improve my technique.

This is a small section of D800 test in very low available mixed light in my work room 3200 ISO lens wide open. I would never want to shoot like this but quality not bad at all! Attachment: D800 3200 ISO.jpg (Downloaded 45 times)

The point of focus was on 04533-03 and is quite shallow as the lens was wide open. As often stated I have little use for high ISO but JK asked me to do that test and send him the NEF Raw file. I was very impressed with how will the D800 did in light I could hardly see by! There is very little noise in shadows, it is better than the D3X could do at 3200 ISO.

Just got back from the US and took the first opportunity to play with the D800E this afternoon. It is a mean macro machine. It needs the very best of glass. A couple of down-ressed examples are here: http://bugsbytes.zenfolio.com/p41851089 These are all handheld and ISO 200 or 400. Noise is very low. Ed Attachment: 800_0105.jpg (Downloaded 24 times)

"Mean macro machine" seems like a pretty good endorsement of the D800e Ed. Super photo! Where were you visiting in the US?

Please confirm that my trip to Basle to pick up your S2 will not be wasted and that I can also have some of the delicious asparagus soup which should be in season now. ![]()

I found some wild asparagus the other day, so will send you a pikky of that when I get home Ed
