It is unfortunate that so many have grown used to to the “average” 165 lb SuperSize American woman that they now consider anything less unhealthy.

This D800 picture at 6400 ISO is so very good that it helped my decision to buy the newest Nikon.
I especially liked the hair.

Jeez, it’s a good thing no professional photographers existed in the film days with those super slow fps they had back then. Impossible to shoot sports, weddings, or anything other than landscapes or studio work. Seriously shoot less and know when to use the camera. I’m not saying having 10 fps is a bad thing or unwelcome but we have become a little too dependent on the features of the camera rather than the art of taking a picture.

“…but will it rival other ILCs? Yes in size (that it
being similar image size) and in affordability.

But it will not rival
the other ILCs in resolution because of the individual pixel sizes in
microns. For a 1″ sensor to have 10 mp or more, it would have to be
smaller to “cram” more pixels into the sensor. And then there’s the discussion of the processors
that would render the images, and in particular shooting above 6400
ISO. ”

This exact quote could be said of the J1 and V1. Anyone worth their salt, even if they were complaining at the top of their lungs since the day the first images were leaked, will admit how different it actually was.

The D800 is no different. Anyone who pays attention to Nikon, or just camera releases in general would know that by now.

Cheers.

Yeah better quality blah blah blah. There have been a handful of great images taken with that camera, and many more with other cameras of varying quality. Gimmicky camera- nice. Cameras built for photographers- even better.

Sounds like you’ve got their plan down to a T Patrick, nice work there.

You know, it is possible to shoot at lower resolution… lol…

They are targeting every high end amateur, and low end photojournalists/high end studio shooters, it’s pretty obvious. We’re likely going to see a 40MP+ D4x later this year as well.

And to add on to what Patrick’s saying here, if you think the best image quality is a medium format camera, you can have your H4D-60, for about 40k. I’ll spend 3k on the D800 and blow you away.

Yeah, and if you like 1.2 fps, shooting tethered, almost unusable af for anything but studio work or landscapes, and abysmal high iso quality IE 1200+, go right ahead. I know no professional photographers who shoot DMF. It’s for promotions and high end studio work, nothing more.

I’d love to see your journalism with one.

“Output from 10 mpx 2.7x sensor won’t reach picture quality and sharpness
of 2.0x ILC format cameras. I hope that Nikon will never do such a stupid
step with rumored 10 mpx sensor in V1″

Seriously, just go spend 20k on the only camera that will have the image quality you can use… and your pictures will still be just as wonderful! ;)

You are crazy. This is an incredible image. Just because it isn’t all PS’d up for the average viewer, doesn’t make it as terrible as you imagine.

If he spend 10 minutes on it in PS you’d love it.

Just because he posted a raw, makes it no less awesome. L2 Art.
