Hi Jan

Yes, D800 and 800E differ only in the anti-alias. I ended up with the 800E because it is what was available and because I do not do wedding photography with fabrics.

I am very much on the fence at the moment. The D4 is the logical replacement for the D3? - built like tank, reliable, reasonable IQ (not quite D3X but subjectively as good).

The D800? is a bit like Churchill's response to a lady named Bossom (neither one think nor the other). It is not MF and the quality (with Nikon or Zeiss lenses) will never reach Hassy or Leica S2 standards.It has the form factor of the DSLR, but is far more discerning in the glass it likes and the technique.

And just so I do not seem to be against the 800, here is a shot with 800E and naked 300 f4 - cropped but not much else.
