I have one and it is undoubtedly good for some things, but having said that I've enjoyed using my D300s again recently while the 800 was in for repair. The images are nice and manageable and everything looks sharp without trying. The reason I ask is that if you are actually new to the DSLR thing the D800 may not give you the best results straight away unless you use it in a fairly disciplined way. Personally I didn't like the images off mine when I first got it due to my technique. I think all I'm saying is that the D800 does not equal the best pictures just because it's an expensive body. It's a bit like a high performance car, it's not the best tool to learn on. Just a thought if you haven't already bought the body.</blockquote>
