UK Magazine Amateur Photographer Sat 19 May 2012 have tested back to back Nikon D800E and D800 against the medium format Hasselblad H4D-31.(The Has back tested was 31 mill pix) I think people are going to be amazed that the Nikon at 25% the price has out performed the medium format. I do not want to infringe copyright by reporting exactly what was said. But an interesting point made was that Hasselblad are still on CCDs and these are old hat now compared to the years of development by Nikon on CMOS chips. In the review they state: The D800s sensor works better in almost every measurable way. They have never seen any DSLR with such high res score as the new Nikons. D800 also is not cumbersome to hold or slow to operate with many other advantages.

In fact I planned for June but it is only a couple of weeks away. I really dont need all the features of the D800 (least of all the 36MP) but I do want to see how it works for my flamenco shots and also if I cna push as far as I can with the D3S then I will be very happy to use. I might feel the need to release my D700 and/or D300 at that point. Probably the D300 will go first.

Probably a good idea to off load the D300 ASAP, it's looking dated but is still the current model (with an S anyway).

Mine arrived at my doorstep yesterday, but I wasn't anywhere near my doorstep so they kept it. I picked it up at the parcel delivery office today.

I hope you chaps are going to be as pleased with your cameras as I am. Let us know how you get on. I am busy looking into the use of the video side and will report in full later.

Interesting article to read. Seems that the D800 E may have rated even higher with better glass. For those wanting optimal results non Nikon glass may be their only solution.

I saw a posting on another web-site from Australia from a photographer who said wide angle lenses giving serious problems with very unsharp pictures with the D800. He would now need to spend serious money on Zeiss w/a lens? I had not as yet needed to do too much wide angle work with mt D800 so I set up a test yesterday with my 14-24mm AF-S f2.8 that with my D3X is one of my sharpest lenses. I am very happy to say all is very well! I did pix of outside of our house with lens at 24 and 14mm settings and at 100ISO took pix from f2.8 to f16. Results are spot on with no change from what I would have seen with the D3X on a similar test. Best results at f8 to f11, f16 still nearly as good so defraction with the high pixel count is not the problem that some so called experts have said would happen with this camera. Even f22 is OK but f16 is as far as I would use in normal working with this lens. f2.8 is not bad but f4 is sharper and f5.6 onwards show remarkable sharpness across whole field. Well done Nikon a great lens and a great camera who needs to spend extra money on Zeiss? Attachment: DSC2547.jpg (Downloaded 53 times)
