I have just finished another of my steam railway DVD/BluRays filming included aerial from helicopter work in Snowdonia: Welsh Highland Railway The Complete Journey.
I did take the D800 and tried to give it another go but sorry it is only good for set lock-down shots. For good audio you need a pro mike and sound mixer. On the footplate of a steam loco climbing steep grades it would be almost impossible to use. View-finding with a loop only just works but the loop will not stay in place.

I need still pix for the cover but every time you take a still you miss a good movie shot so with regret digital high def video is so good these days you can take all the stills you want of your movie footage!

But Nikon D800 is still great and one of best ever SLR cameras I have ever had!
