I compared the camera heads up to the D7000 and to be totally honest, I'm not
blown away by the high ISO performance. I was expecting miracles @ 3200 and 6400,
but it seems as though the noise performance is pretty close. The FOV is a drastic
difference going from DX to FX and I really like it. The button layout is going to take
a couple days to get used to.

No left focusing problem it seems which is awesome.
Shutter count was 200 which is awesome, so this thing is literally brand new.
Firmware is up to date.

Definitely need to invest in some 16GB cards CF cards .
The Raw files are all in the 40+MB, the 50 or so picture's I've taken haven't been near 75MB yet
which is good. Tomorrow I'll take it for a spin and see what I can come up with.
 
I don't notice a huge huge difference in the ISO performance either, straight out of the camera but because there's so much detail, it handles noise reduction better than a D7000.

Congrats on yours! I love mine :)
 
Thanks. I'm setting up a little shoot with the wife tomorrow to test it out.

What PPI do you guys use for your D800? In camera raw the default is 240, should I just leave that?
