Nikon D800 & 17-35f2.8 at 35mm, 1/80 @ f11, ISO 900 hand held Similar shot with 24-120VR f3.5-5.6 with all the same settings was not as sharp. This was due to lens resolution, not camera motion. Attachment: _D8G0186-1.jpg (Downloaded 82 times)

Yes think before shooting take a little longer to compose your picture and double check your settings, taking your time makes for good photography. If hand holding are you well balanced with firm foothold etc... I agree use the faster shutter speeds is always good news. Also in bright light you do not want to go beyond f11 as we all know most lenses are at best f5.6-f11 so have faster shutter speed keeps you in the range. I am also please to see that D800 has 100 ISO it all helps.

JK I agree about the 1/length + 1 stop rule. just had a weekend away with the D4 and D800E. Basically blown away by them. For any birders the attached image is kind of weird. Firstly, I picked up all of the wrong kit as i left the house (200 mm not 300 mm, 1.7 TC not 2 TC. Emergency stop on the way put D800 on the floor (OK, my fault). But I can confirm that the build quality is good. This is taken on the D800E with the 200 + 1.7 in FX mode (should have been 300 + 2.0 and probably DX = 900 mm). But it is handheld ISO400, f 6.3, 1/250th. Oh yes, and the final ****-up. For some reason I had left the camera on +0.3E The only reason for posting, is that this bird is shaking its head at a phenomenal speed not to be frozen at 1/250th I am quite pleased.

Nice picture Ed. Amazing swirl of a kingfisher! Where was this in Basle area? You were lucky to be that close with your combo. Branch is nice and sharp

Very unique Ed. What was flying off the bird that made the white lines?

The tones in Dave Groen's picture are fabulous. Great light and well captured.

I have found one little niggle with the D800 but maybe I'm missing a trick. On the D3S I use the switch on the back to change between the three AF sensor modes. I dont seem to get the same controls on the D800 or am I missing something ?

There is a button in the center of the AF-M lever on the front below the lens release button. Press this button and use the main and sub-command dials to change focus modes. The mode is shown on the top LCD display. See page 92 in the manual.

Logically I can see the reasoning for the move but ergonomically it is less efficient as the new process requires both hands while the old one required only one thumb.
