I've searched the web and only found some on a Russian server, which I am hesitant to access, and some shots of camera bags taken inside a store. I suspect these don't show its full capabilities. The D800 demands the best in technique and lighting to realize its full potential. It will be interesting to see if Graham feels he IS having to use best technique. I would like to see handheld results...because we know it will be good on a tripod. I wouldn't want to have a camera that needed a tripod.

Still at Bryce today but move on in morning. Todays pictures I have been adding -1.3 and getting exposure much better first time. The brightness of the coloured rocks upsets meter a bit. Yes when I get back I can let people have a few NEFs to look at but they are very large and I will need to send then via disc in post. Attachment: Bryce2264.jpg (Downloaded 142 times)

All pix I have posted are hand held but I take care with settings and try to keep shutter speed at 1/160 th or faster but using the D800 is just same as D3x only better!

Graham, Thank you for the NEF offer. There is a service called "dropbox" for computers, iPads, and smart phones. You can drop large files there and they are accessible to anyone you choose. It's free for up to 2 GB storage. http://www.dropbox.com This link http://www.nikonusa.com/en_US/o/Y6wrkA9OU_z04IreazIXl_22UII/PDF/D800_TechnicalGuide_En.pdf suggests a tripod and mirror-up or LiveView to get maximum sharpness from a D800. There are comparisons showing blur from mirror bounce. Their example is from a 1 second exposure, though.

The brightness of the coloured rocks upsets meter a bit. That is good Graham. Must be something extra reflective in the sand/stone of the rocks but if it works then that is good.

Also see my note on faulty EN-EL15 battery I had an "E" and had two days when I thought the D800 had gone mad. Done factory restore and camera now back to normal so hope no damage. Battery taken out of service and will be replaced N/C by Nikon UK on my return.

Grand Canyon we only had a few moments of sun this morning before the rain came and put an end to photography. As we drove South in our hired RV the rain turned to snow, yes snow in the desert but at 7000 feet. The D800 again getting exposure spot on even in difficult light like this. My two days of problems as stated with the faulty battery seem to be sorted after restoring factory defaults and re-entering my normal settings. Attachment: GrandCanyon2413.jpg (Downloaded 114 times)
