[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 67468, member: 8344"] Great question Jeff. I have been holding the two side by side trying to figure out which of the two I like the feel of better. Believe it or not, they feel almost the same. The D800 is slightly beefier and a tad bigger. The D90 ON/Off button seems to be better quality or more substantial. I don't know why, but I like it better and feel it is more durable. My first impression of the D800 ON/off button was it was cheap feeling and cheap looking. The D800 has more fancy dials than the D90 and has that pro camera look on the back plus flash syncs on the front. The real difference is the shutter. The D90 clunks, the D800 sings to me. To describe it as something someone could understand, the D90 sounds mechanical, the D800 seems more cushioned and slick. It is a very nice sound. This is the best I can tell you as I have only had it in my hands and actually using it for a few hours. But what QUALITY TIME! I can't say it enough, the D800 is simply AMAZING. See this image below. ISO 2000 cropped at 50% taken with a 300mm f4 + 1.4 TC Thought I would crop it close to see what it looks like: [ATTACH=CONFIG]13801._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
