First Clicks With the Nikon D800

Nikon D800 + Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G | 6 sec, f/8, ISO 100
Bridget and I made a brief drive out to one of our favorite spots to view the Golden Gate after work tonight. Well, she drove. I was busy unboxing the D800 I received only a couple hours earlier. I set it up the best I could in the car, and as soon as we arrived, took a few frames of the bridge during dusk. Hoo boy does this thing bring on the pixels.
More impressions to come…




Thanks for this. I’m considering getting this camera some time in the future. Great shot! Keep them coming!

I am sooooo jealous! I work with the Nikon D40 and truly love this camera, but I dream of getting the D800 one day! Amazing quality on the D800.

whooooooaaa… the d800! congrats on the big purchase! can’t wait to hear your impressions.
i’m struggling to resist the siren call of the 5dmkiii. i’m also thinking i might get the mkii, since it’s dirt cheap now.

There’s a big case to be made for the 5DII now since the price has dropped so significantly. I say go for that one

[...] side note: I did not stitch full resolution, 36 megapixel frames from the D800 here, but can you imagine the final size of these images if I had? Hoo [...]
