[QUOTE="Brian, post: 256153, member: 17621"] I don't agree that the Df is "crippled", it's optimized for what it does. Getting rid of electronics is easier than isolating the noise from them. Using a smaller Af sensor saves size, and cutting the clock-rate in half lowers noise. as far as Video: that would cripple me with everyone wanting a Video when I want a photograph. I have a Video camera- it is small and fits in the case if I need it. Also have a pair of u43 cameras, EPL1's are down to $100 and have an EVF for eye-level viewing while shooting video. I hate "Chimping". The EPL1 and EP2 are fine for Video and can use Leica lenses to keep the size small. There should be more to selecting a camera than just counting the number of features and adding up all of the numbers in the specs. You should like how the camera handles, and ask is it the best for the job. For Landscape work: large blow-ups, slower use: the D800 has higher resolution. The D800e, most lenses will be "soft enough" to act like a low-pass filter. I've seen aliasing artifacts in my Leica M8, not so much in the M9 which has a thicker IR cut filter- so ask to see some Landscape shots done with a D800e showing aliasing artifacts before buying.
