Get a fast lens like 50 1.4G or 1.8G or an 85 1.8 or 1.4G, all FX lenses. Putting that $150 kit lens on a D800 is like putting cooper tires on a Mercedes. The D800 is not intended as a low light camera because the pixels are so small. In spite of that it has very good low light noise levels but a D4 far outperforms in that department. Even a D700 is a very good low light camera because its pixels are even larger (ie: fewer megapixels usually means the pixels will be larger meaning larger area for collecting photons).</p></blockquote><p></p>
