Should I replace my newly traded-for D800 for a different model?

[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 379423, member: 13076"] Keep in mind that you will most often be shooting close to infinity if the animals are at a distance so the focusing on the D800 in bright sunlight should be able to handle that....certainly a bit faster than a D700, which I also used to have. As far as fps, most of the time you would be looking for the action moment rather than just shooting at 8 fps. Plus, with the D800 you can crop an image a lot and still have incredible resolution so if an animal is far away, you'll still see that detail. I have a D4 and it is extremely rare that I would be shooting at 10 fps, and I've shot action as well. A lot of nature/wildlife photographers shoot with the D800. And for landscapes and portraits the D800 cannot be beat. So unless the lion is coming right at you (and then you would probably be running instead of trying to focus), I think you should be fine with the D800. And if you shoot in DX 1.5x cropped mode on the D800.....with the grip you get 6 fps and without the grip it is 5 fps....at the same resolution. [/QUOTE]
