[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 123202, member: 7698"] Cropping post shot is just not something I do much of. I would rather get a set of telecons if I have to. That's my preference guys. That's how I was taught by other professionals. I rather get it right in camera than other wise. As for a 400 on safari... thats awesome, take a telecon as well and you are almost assured of getting the shot without stretching the pixels later in post. I am not saying my way is the only way, obviously. We work with what we have when we need it. Every one here has seen shots that are cropped to the point that you are not just seeing the noise but nearly the pixels themselves and to me that is just not acceptable. That being said, I have not used a camera like the D800 or even 24mp fx for more than an hour or so. I actually have more experience with a D4 (not mine) than either of these so switching to a crop mode in camera might not be all that bad. I can certainly see where as far as memory and processing goes where the D800 in DX makes sense. All of that being said, I have been doing my homework on the D800 as well. Has anyone who shoots with the D800 noticed any noise issues? Times where what appears to be black to the eye comes out more gray? Build quality is a major factor here as well but really when it comes down to it. [/QUOTE]
