[QUOTE="stmv, post: 73568, member: 10038"] I get a kick out reading the shootouts in the magazines, and always seems to be puzzling,, clearly they state the increased dynamic range and sharpness, but in all categories, they gave the win to the Canon, basically giving the D800 a 8/10. I suspect that one becomes splitting hairs, but I do think that the magazines are not falling over themselves on the D800, and really really want to keep the Canon in the running. To paraphase,, The D800 produces absolutely breathtaking when you take the time to use the camera to its utmost... WTF.. so, essentially, the magazine assumes that the buyer is not able to use the camera to the utmost, and really want the more forgiving Canon. to this, I say bulls... I keep the D700 for that, but for me to invest 3000K or more dollars, you know darn well, I want the best results possible. If I take the time with lens/tripod/etc, then I want the camera to respond in the same manner. and when I want well good results, with less work,, sure, carry the other body. but,, don't down the D800.
