I converted an image I took to B&W and I think the D800 will be king of B&W photography. This is just an observation from trying out a few images. You be the judge...
D800 B&W Heaven

As much as I like your pics, I find the quality hard to define since the size is so so small. Could you try at least 800x800? 300x300 is a little small for a quality check.

Nice....but not even a close 2nd, thanks for playing!
The Canon 5D Mark III is better than the D800; therefore, making the 5D the King........ Ken Rockwell says so

Ha ha ha, well...if Ken "Massengill" Rockwell says that then, yes....it must be true.
It cracked me up how much grief the D800 is causing. I just picked up the latest Digital camera mag that had the "ultimate shootout" between the MarkIII and D800 making you think by the headline that they were going to declare winner.
the image quality shots and even noise resolution (to say ISO 6400) really gave the edge to the D800.
Of course they blah blah blah,, uplift the FPS to be such an issue.
in the end, they panicked, and gave neither camera the win. Sport users, and well serious photographers ... the MarkIII and well picky Landscape and Macro the D800.
Overall, I have somewhat taken back on how little the Mainstream magazines are not giving much cover time to the D800. Compare that to when the D700 came out, and for months the cover of the magazines were plastered with screaming articles, but the D800,,its like they whole establishment is tiptoeing around the subject....well,,, yes... its super resolution... why yes,, surprise they matched the D700 for noise (which was the defacto King),... why yes,,, they gave it many of the D4 features, etc etc... but ..... but..... like it pains them.
but holy batman,,,, 3200,, now that is a camera (well at least based upon the number of front page photo ops).

Of course it is true. It is written on the internet, so even more reason to believe that it is true.

Would you care to repeat that? Stop. Think for a minute. Do you really want to repeat that?
I would like to share here the FaceBook link of a great Indian wildlife photographer, with whom i only exchanged messages till date and yet to meet. He is one inspiration for me to pick up a DSLR. An Amazing Personality, yet sooo down to earth.

I can repeat it all you want Ted. However, if you would take a minute to think about what i said and to think about what i was responding to, it will become clear that i was saying this in jest. Now, steady on or else i will send some of your pictures to KR who will be dissapointed that you did not get it done right in the camera!
I didn't realize you were the only one allowed to speak in jest. My mistake.
PS... I don't really know how to do voodoo, just in case you thought that was serious too.

My apologies then Ted. I am happy to hear that we can have fun here
I know how people can react to KR, so i thought you were getting uptight. Sorry. Voodoo may be a good hobby.... There is one thing I can say I like about Canon cameras over nearly every Nikon I've ever shot (with the exception of the D3200) and that is the shutter sound. It has a very pleasing sound to it, almost sexy and much quieter than a Nikon. And it's easily recognizable. I can stand next to 10 other photographers and instantly know what camera they're using just by the sound of their shutters.
That said, the D3200 has an almost Canon sound to it so I know Nikon has the ability to make a sexy sounding shutter. I wonder why they keep making these mirror slapping monsters?
