(OK if the D400 comes along that may change the goalposts again!!!!)One thing I think you will run into is that same thing that had me getting the bases for my D700's?? The shorter body like the D800 leaves the little finger hanging out in space, and when I hunched my hand up on the body my index finger kept triggering the Auto Stop Down button.. The second thing was the lack of the vertical release, I really missed that thing, as I have always used Nikon Pro bodies, and when using the D700 named, I am always hunting around for how to fire the shutter when I have to shoot a vertical!!! Just a thought or two, Eric??? ![]()

Having used the even smaller D7000 for some time when on vacation, I seem to have cured my wayward pinkie. Using the D200 (as I do for IR) I am quite comfortable without a grip. In fact the D3 seems quite heavy when I have to return to work. I have a big shoot at a London Hotel next month...I will need to get back into training after the recent month off! ![]()

Likewise with the D3100 having to go to Menu items to do routine things like ISO and re-formatting the CF Card.
