Hi! I just joined the forum after recently acquiring a D800 in trade for a precision rifle.
When the offer over cash came up, I jumped on it because in the next year of like to go on an African photo safari with my fiancé. It was an impulse decision and I'm starting to regret it because of the slower frame rate.
My question is: what is the chance of losing some cool action shots of say a cheetah or lion taking prey over something with a higher frame rate?
I haven't fully researched the D700 but somewhere I heard it could hit 8fps with a grip? Those go for about $1000-1200 and I would have cash left over if I sold the D800 to cover it. The other option I'm seeing is sell the D800 and get a D3 for around $1600, buying/selling would be a wash in this case.
Lenses would end up being the holy trinity and maybe a set of TCs.
Thanks all! I'm pulling my hair trying to figure out what to do.
