[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 54484, member: 6573"] I think the bigger question is how can you get one soon? The demand is still high and the supplies are just barely coming in. With the NPS folks getting the priority, it will be months before you can get one. The D800 is a game changer camera. I don't do large prints and I am just an enthusiast. It is hard to justify anything if your end in mind is to be practical especially in today's economy. If your gut is telling you not to get one then don't especially if your spouse (if you are married) will oppose to your decision. Re: DX lenses. You can still achieve up to 15mp if you use your DX lenses but that would be a waste if you are not going to maximize it's full potential especially if you are going to do larger prints. Your 50mm might be able to do the work. Getting the D800 would also mean additional expenses to upgrade your computer or purchase 1 or 2 TB hard drive to store those enormous files. How about memory cards? You'll need at least 64gb sd or CF cards. I cancelled my D4 pre-order and re-ordered the D800E version for the second time since I had a hard time deciding. Adding the 28mm f1.8G lens from Nikon that was just announced has spiked the total damage to just over $4k. Ouch! :boxing: [/QUOTE]
