: On my D300 I have had some issues with older non-AF-S lenses due to relatively slow focus rate by the mechanical drive

The D800's slow frame rate also means that it it not a good camera for sports or wildlife photography

I would buy the D800 if I need the mega pixel badly but it has no use for me other than chewing up my memory and slowing down the frame rate

The only compromise for me was the slower shooting rate of 4 frames per second - but that was a small price to pay for this amazing piece of technology.

Slower frame rate ( frame rate of 5 with FX could be great).

Image quality is absolutely stunning - DxO Mark rates it at 95 and calls it "A full-frame sensor with no weak points" for a good

So don't even trust the rating from Nikon's site.

This camera has 1 drawback to my shooting - the slow frame rate on continuous high speed shooting

When you couple up this camera to professional or pro-sumer lenses the overall rating on the image quality for sharpness is unparalleled.

Rather, I want to share the experience of jumping from low [12] MP, fast frame rate DSLR to one with 3 times the resolution and much slower frame rate

Some people have complained about the slow frame rate of the D800 and that is a consideration if you are a sports/action shooter

The Mark iii kept on going but at a much slower rate

Nikon truely shines with its built-in flash as it comes quite handy for fill-in flash

I did not at first and my images were not as sharp as I wanted them to be

If the camera worked as it should it would be wonderful, however in my limited experience it doesn't

I was bit surprised, that there was no signs of use, everything works as it should be

Until I can afford the 85/1.4, this glass will remain my "portrait" lens.70-200 VR: DX just as good as on the D200.

the shutter sound is a little different from what i am used to ... as in a little louder.... kind of nervous to use it at my first wedding lol but it is a super great camera!
