[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 239604, member: 9240"] OK, so now that I know what you're shooting I'm going to shove you with great force at the D800e. The lack of an anti-aliasing filter will give you wonderful detail on your landscapes, and the extra pixels are a must for birding. I didn't go with the 'e' and while I don't regret it there are times I kick myself and wonder why when spending that much I didn't go the extra 10$? Not that I look at shots and say, "Man, that would have been so much better on the 800e", but I've read enough from photographers using both since I made the purchase to realize that there is a difference. With regard to Geoff's recommendation of the D7100, it's something I strongly considered before adding the D800, but the small buffer size limits you to about 5-7 consecutive RAW shots before filling and slowing the camera down and that's not acceptable to me when I'm tracking a hawk or eagle. The D800 will give me 16MP's in DX mode and something like 28MP's in 1.2x crop mode, as well as around 16 shots before filling the buffer, which is a clear win. Plus shooting in cropped mode gives me smaller files to deal with, and since I am more than likely going to crop that's another win. [/QUOTE]
