[QUOTE="Disorderly, post: 76719, member: 10297"] Be prepared for a bit of a learning curve. I got my D800 a couple of months ago and am having to unlearn a lot of behavior from my D300. I shoot a lot in studio, and was used to working at F/8 at ISO 200. For group events I've had to shoot F/11; they set the lights at F/8 for ISO 100 shooters (generally Canon), which works out to F/11 at ISO 200. Anyway, first group shoot I really wanted to shoot at ISO 100. So I did, and then discovered that the combination of a bigger aperture and the bigger sensor meant a whole lot less depth of field than I was used to. Shot a male model with muscles so big that when his eyes were in focus his arms were blown out! So now I'll shoot F/11 at group events. And I'm seriously loving the camera, now that I'm getting some experience with it. And the high ISO is pretty darn amazing! [/QUOTE]
