I tried my D800E with the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII lens in DX mode to shoot our local High School football game. I've recently shot a similar game with my D7000 and Nikon 300mm f4 AFS lens on the thread below.

So, for those of you who have seen them, what are your thoughts? Even the slower fps of the D800E, I prefer the 1 stop advantage of the FX compared to the DX. The f2.8 lens vs f4 makes a big difference IMHO when shooting with a very challenging lighting condition. My camera was set at Auto ISO up to 6400. Shutter speed varied from 1/160 to 1/200, aperture at f2.8. Set-up included a monopod and knee pads.
Feedbacks are always welcome and appreciated.
