The D4 is aimed at a different market, it's a press/sports camera built tough and fast shooting.

The d800, while it will do sports etc, it is in my opinion aimed at studio/landscape photographers.

Yes I think that is right Iain.
It's another reason why I think that a D4X/S will arrive next year.

I don't like to disagree, but there is a definite role for the D4 in macro work. The object of getting the maximum number of pixels on target and as great a depth of field as possible make the high ISO capacity and higher pixel density than the D3s very attractive.

Surely thats more of an arguement forthe D800? The smaller sensor giving greater dof, yet 34mp and high ISP performance?

I thought the D800 has an FX (Full frame) sensor?

And the D800 does not look to have the high ISO (dunno ... they don't seem to exist in Switzerland yet)

D800 seem to be in short supply. I guess they are making a batch of D800E units for the launch before starting the next batch of D800 units.

I hear they have also been some colour issues with the way the TFT screen shows the colour of the image on replay. I guess this will be a firmware fix.

Nikon however say this.

It isn't like Costa del Norwich!

View out of my office window now - and a test on a beetle in the garden suggested ISO 1600 f8 1/60 with the 200 macro!
