I have just got back some A4 colour prints from the USA made by ProAm and I am very pleased with quality and yes the fine detail does show on a good colour print. I have also been watching the John Ford/John Wayne DVD The Searchers shot in Monument Valley, it was most interesting to see how the great director took full advantage of this wonderful location. I only wish I had been able to spend more time there and capture more creative lighting later in the day. The local Navajo Tribe took part in the film and have named the place where I photographed the cowboy on horse as "John Ford's Point". Thank you all for the interest you have taken in my USA trip with the new camera! Reviews for the D800 are now flowing thick and fast and they are all good.

Thank you Graham for taking the time and trouble to keep us posted, I have enjoyed this this thread immensely, both the images and the posts. It's given us a good push off with the new forum and some interesting debating points. This is a candidate for a link to classic threads. Will see what we can do.

This is another example of high level of small fine detail. This is whole image size ie FULL FRAME. Photo of Capitol Reef. Nikon D800 and 24-70mm AF-S Lens. Attachment: CapitolReef2119A.jpg (Downloaded 66 times)

I have now had time to look at some of the movie footage taken on this trip. (I did not have my Sony Camcorder with me as this was a holiday and not a railway filming trip!) The sharpness of the moving images is of a very high standard but some shots were lost with auto focus letting go, this only seems to happen with live view and shooting movie. Auto focus with the D800 can not be faulted when shooting stills. When shooting I did find hands holding a DSLR and looking at the LCD with a loupe was not easy and the resulting footage was not as stable as I would get with my Sony NX5 Camcorder that has a good steady-cam built in and is designed for shooting movie. I would not use any of my USA movie images in one of my professional productions the main reason was on this trip I did not have a movie tripod and pro sound mike with me. Any wind hits the built in mike taking out all sound.

When I got my D200 I was blown away. Then came the D700 and, to be honest, I was getting as good a result from the D200 as the D700 (sometimes better) at 400 and upto 800ISO BUT, shooting weddings, often in difficult light, the D700 really made a huge difference. It didn't anywhere else though. I have, on many occassions, thought wow (yes, blowing my own trumpet) at photos and looked at the RAW file to find it was the D200 when I'd assumed it was the D700. Therefore, if you're not shooting in low light for money, I'd say you can get as good a result with the older cameras as the new ones. BUT, I have to say that I am blown away by these images from the D800. It is easy to take a bad shot with any camera, and operator skills are not to be taken for granted. But the quality shown here with the D800 really does make me think - I WANT ONE!! However, 56mb files? Mmmm, that would mean outlaying for more hardware, and definitely updrading if not replacing the main PC (with a mac probably). This means spending around £4,000 Thats something I can do without. Unless I win the Euro lottery tonight!

You will also need to use top quality Nikon Lenses to get the best out of the new camera. I was just going through some A4 colour prints of still life studio product shots taken by me with the Nikon D1 2.74 MP camera in July 2000 and I have to say the detail is good and the quality is amazing. But they are well lit shots with good lens in studio.
