I agree about the 1/length + 1 stop rule.
just had a weekend away with the D4 and D800E. Basically blown away by them.
For any birders the attached image is kind of weird.
Firstly, I picked up all of the wrong kit as i left the house (200 mm not 300 mm, 1.7 TC not 2 TC.
Emergency stop on the way put D800 on the floor (OK, my fault). But I can confirm that the build quality is good.
This is taken on the D800E with the 200 + 1.7 in FX mode (should have been 300 + 2.0 and probably DX = 900 mm). But it is handheld ISO400, f 6.3, 1/250th.
Oh yes, and the final ****-up. For some reason I had left the camera on +0.3E
The only reason for posting, is that this bird is shaking its head at a phenomenal speed not to be frozen at 1/250th
I am quite pleased.
