[QUOTE="wornish, post: 278452, member: 15434"] Welcome If taking a landscape shot you need to focus at whats called the hyperfocal distance I know it sounds technical but Google it for more details. Here is a good link that explains it. [url=http://www.naturephotographers.net/articles0307/rb0307-1.html]Nature Photography Instruction - Hyperfocal Focusing[/url] The other point is that you have taken a huge leap in image quality going from the D60 to a D800 and the D800 is very unforgiving in terms of movement caused by poor technique. So if you want really sharp pictures when taking a landscape you ideally need to set a small aperture at around F/11 and using a tripod and the shutter delay ( or a remote release). The D800 is amazing but like all good things you have to work at it to get best results. Hope you enjoy the D800 [/QUOTE]
