I tried out the new 810 yesterday and I'm thinking (very hard) about jumping ship from my 800E to the new kid on the block.... for two reasons... it's soooooo quiet and as I'm getting into bird photography quite a bit of late that would be a help.
And the second thing is the "handgrip" ... only a small improvement but it's MUCH better than the 800E ... I always felt the grip on my 800E was a bit skinny and I wasn't quite happy with it - and after trying out the 810 it's a "deal-maker" for me... so now I've just got to get in contact with a mate of mine who may buy my "old" 800E (7900 actuations) and we'll go from there... the prices here in Australia range from a low of $3300 up to $3900 at some stores... one place I rang is throwing in a pair of Nikon binoculars to try and swing the deal... we'll see.....
cheers
