Hey guys,
Alright so I'm having a Dilemma with my D800 pre-order. First off I'd like to say I'm not a pro. I have been paid for a few of my shots, some are on display and some have appeared in publications but don't consider myself a pro by any means.
I started with Nikon back in my D90 days when I get serious about my hobby and then upgraded to the D7000 and I love it. But I'm finding that I want to move to a full frame format with something that may have the ability to provide decent video(I come from a video background) Before the D800 news broke I almost pulled the trigger on the Canon 5D Mark II but since it's around 3 years old figured they would be doing an update at some point and of course it will happen if I decided to buy the 5D MII the very next day. I'd like to stick with Nikon due to the fact that I have invested so much money in glass and lots of our video gear have Nikon mounts as well.
My issue is all this negative info about the D800 and it's not even released yet. From image blur due to the high MP count to the **** ISO, over priced grip and so on.
I'm not worried about the ISO - I shoot my D7000 at iso100 almost all the time even in low light, so I have grown my skill around that.
What bugs the hell out of me is for every one person that gives the D800 a positive mark there are two negatives.
I'm not looking for someone to stroke my ego and tell me that the D800 is the perfect camera and I'm not committed to my pre order I can back out anytime before the camera ships. But I am looking for some none Canon fanboy feed back and maybe to hear from a few others who have pre ordered the D800 as well.
I wish I could afford the damn D4 and call it a day but I'm only going to be able to pick up one camera this year and I want to make it count.
