The auto focus is faster and works much better in low light. I found the D3X and D800 both gave problems in the studio when using dramatic back lighting, I have not had the D810 long enough to be 100% but it seems a lot better.

I can see no problems with using F18 but there is so much detail in all images I may just not see any slight losses due to diffraction? We all know it is better to keep near to f11 with most lenses but there are times even with a 24mm lens when you need more depth of field. I also agree that the 120-24 AF-S f4 was not one of Nikon's better lenses (I traded in mine when I got the D810) and my 24-70 AF-S is still my top lens for image quality.

To be honest it is a great camera and so is the D800 perhaps I need not have done the upgrade but I have no regrets!

To sum up the major thing I notice is how little un-sharp mask is needed in Photoshop compared with all previous Nikon DSLRs I have used over the years.
