You are all correct. The top is the D800e and the bottom the S2. To be fair there was a little more wind in the S2 shot, but the depth of field is microscopically thin. Interesting, n'est ce pas? Ed

Ed it's a very skilled area you work in. In very controlled studio conditions where I have done most of my ultra close up macro work it is not easy to get enough depth of field even with powerful studio flash and small F No. On my USA trip I lost quite a few cactus flower pix because of poor depth of field with the 105mm Macro VR lens even in bright desert light at f16! With dragon flys it's even harder as they can see you and move!

This is an example of the insane cropping that you can do with the D800E. handheld, 200 mm Macro and ISO 400 (which is almost noise free). Plus my first sensor grolly, I notice! Ed Attachment: D800E.jpg (Downloaded 36 times)

Ok Ed, your going to have to translate for me. Grolly in my book is a sticky green phlegm.

Gary, look at the right hand picture, in the left hand corn,er ther is a small greyish dot. That is a dust mark or grolly!, Maybe Ed was clearing his throat with the lens off the camera!,

I did see the small dot but thought it may have been a lady bug sized asteroid Ed caught in the shot. Grolly, first time I have seen that word used to describe a dust bunny! I like it. Sorry about the grolly Ed. I would have thought the D800 would have vaporized any foreign matter to come into contact with the sensor.

I think the new generation of Nikon cameras come from the factory well cleaned with far less dross on board. I only had to clean my D300 once in the 4 years of use and the D3X lasted 3 years before it needed a very mild clean for 2 small spots. The D800 seems good after 4 weeks in desert and several lens changes. The problem with the early DSLRs was the CCDs held static charge that collected dust but CMOS chips seem much better. I also think most of us have learnt to take much more care when changing lens in clean place etc.
