[QUOTE="Roger3006, post: 275309, member: 20353"] Good Morning Everyone (depending on were you are), I sell firearms online. Many of the guns I sell are quiet valuable and are considered functional art. I still must balance speed with quality. I shoot tethered in a studio. Lighting consist of Speed-O-Tron strobes with a variety of Chimera softboxes plus many other things I cannot describe that I rig up. I was one of the last people to go from film to digital. I used pro equipment in film and am using semi-pro with digital. I have never been sorry that I bought high end and/or professional equipment regardless of what I am doing. I started with a D300 using a D90 for backup. My D90 finally died and I switched to a D7100 as my primary camera and use my D300 for backup. I am a strong believer in prime lenses and good glass. I shoot tethered straight into Lightroom 5.3. The D7100 did speed me up by allowing me to shoot a little looser and crop more aggressively. Many of my shots never see Photoshop CC; however, some do. Often, it is faster to fix lighting issues in Photoshop rather than spending forever getting my lighting perfect. A firearm has a lot of curves and materials that vary drastically. To say the least, achieving correct exposure, over the entire gun, and eliminating hot shots is more than trying. I did notice raw files (I shoot everything in RAW) from my D7100 took a little longer to load in Lightroom than my D300. It is still acceptable. My three thousand dollar question is how much longer will it take files from a D800 to load than with my D7100 assuming both are shot in an uncompressed RAW format. Also, relatively speaking, how much longer will it take to open a file in Photoshop CC from Lightroom? In short, is file size problematic with a D800. I very much appreciate any and all input. Thank you and y'all (yes I am a Southerner) have a great day, Roger [/QUOTE]
