I found the D3X was too large to take on overseas holidays and now I am retired no longer need a full sized pro body so was happy to let it go and sold it with the D300 when I got the D800. I now have best of both worlds in one reasonably sized body. I do miss my 18-200mm DX lens I had on the D300. But I am finding the 24-70mm AF-S is doing most of what I need on my USA trip. I state again quality is out of this world and quite a lot better than the D3X. I think the movie is also very good but I will need to see in my edit computer when I get home before reporting. High ISO also looks good but have not done much on this trip.

I may look at the new 24-120mm when I get back as an all in one travel lens but I was not impressed with the old version.

To sum up the D800 is an ideal camera for me and will also work for my studio workshops in UK and cope for the odd pro job that still comes in from some of my old clients.
