I have now used both D800 and D800E and no doubt that images from D800E require far less un-sharp mask in Photoshop and are often show more fine detail strait from camera. 6 months after I had purchased the D800 I found myself wishing I had purchased the D800E.
I think and hope the D810 will prove to be the right camera for me and the time to make the change is now when the D800 is 2 yrs old and still got good 2nd hand value. I will also have a new camera plus 2 yrs guarantee.
I will be interested to know how it performs handheld.
Maybe it's me but I find these higher mp cameras increasingly difficult to capitalise on their ultimate quality without using a tripod.
Being basically a lazy sob I rarely take a tripod out with me, unless it's for a paid assignment. So I am unlikely to realise the potential of 36mp.
Handholding I find the D3 12mp is more forgiving ...that's probably why I never upgraded to the D800.
The Fuji, despite having 24mp, is a match for the D3. This is because being lighter and slower to use, some of the rush and wobble is prevented. Or maybe it's that all my Fuji lenses, unlike the Nikon ones, have image stabilisation?
