[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 126086, member: 9240"] Whether it been with my music or photography, I've never brought something new into the fold that didn't help me grow as an artist. It either inspires you, equips you, or frustrates you. Regardless, it makes you learn a little more about yourself and precisely where the line between what's "you" and what's "the equipment" really is. Putting theory into practice, an afternoon of shooting throwaway bird shots in the backyard with the D800 and the same Sigma 150-500mm I've been using for 2 years with the D7000 has already convinced me that this was a worthy investment. The difference in sharpness is immediately recognizable. The D800's combination of lower noise and higher IQ means that the details in the feathers of a cardinal sitting on a rock 45 feet away are now visible. And I can shoot faster and stop motion more cleanly because I can bump the ISO a little more without compromising details in post-processing noise reduction. So yes, it has indeed already helped my photography. [/QUOTE]
