[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 223374, member: 11653"] No question a wonderful camera can be enjoyed I many ways. Yes, the D800 is picky if you are making that determination at 100% crop. I have a very good steady technique for shooting, and depending on the environment,I will intercede if I think - shorter shutter speed is needed... I shoot a lot in the rain in the forest. I discussed this with my wife, and she suggested lot of folks are not willing to give up all the hard earned knowledge they got as film photographers. Some folks are thinking they are way more valuable in the process than they really are. I'm starting to think that may be true. I tend to back off on things I do until I see a problem. Basically lazy I think. And with the incredible automation of the D800, I can. Have auto ISO set to 125 min... Or if there is fast water, 250th, and the camera does the rest, unless you run out of light gathering,then you are going to have to make the trade off. So, hopefully the next version will have even better light gathering, and I will have to resort to taking over less. The multi point focus is really good at figuring out what to do... It recognizes that typically you want a subject, near focus a third of the way up or in from the sides. If there is such a thing. JD [/QUOTE]
