You seem to take pride in your logic, yet you do not read thoroughly... Every single point you made is rendered moot if you had actually read my post.
I'm sure you want everyone to look at this and tell you how wonderful you are for posting it.
Here's where it falls apart.
Just because someone wants a camera that may be beyond reasonable capability, " What makes you think they can't figure it out?
It's not that hard you know. The camera is going to work by the same principles as any other camera. Time and light. It has always been so.
Yes, the camera may require higher end lenses to bring out the sensors true potential. Is it carved in stone that this cannot be obtained, by someone willing to put forth the effort?
Without the proper glass, yes actually. She plans on "eventually" obtaining better glass, thus she will "eventually" see improvement in her images. Nothing wrong with that, but like I said previously, why spend $3k to downgrade your images because you are not adequately prepared?
#2 All this mess about how this D800 is geared to studio work.
What about landscape? Ever think of that?
What about macro? I mean, 36 million pixels on a close up, that can be cropped and leave you with 30 million ( or whatever) for a larger size print without interpolation.
Why I just bet you anything you want to bet that I can make it work in these two afore mentioned categories.
If I can do it , or you can do it, " What makes you think others can't?
Please read again:
#3, you appear to believe that people can't learn, so it's best for them to stick with what you suggest.
Show me where I stated that people cannot learn? Please refrain from putting words into my mouth as it does not benefit this discussion.
I agree that a better camera doesn't mean better photos, but in this case it DOES equate to better image quality.
Actually, it doesn't. It equates to the possibility of better image quality, but the probability is close to nonexistent with a kit lens and a sensor that large, and no understanding of the precision that will be needed with the new design.
This is a joke.
It has to be.
I thought we already covered the part about upgrading lenses?
I think the point of being precise has been thoroughly covered
in this segment of the " I know everything and what's best for everybody" Show.
It borders on going right back to suggesting something that you claim not to have suggested. That is, that the OP is nowhere near precise enough to use this camera.
That the OP could never in a million years grow with the camera and become precise with it.
Can you understand that when people spend their money, that they want what they want and not what you want them to have?
Is it that terribly hard to comprehend?
The reason I ask is because that's exactly what it boils down to.
Now I agree that the OP did ask for this advice, which I have also covered previously.
Which is why there is the broad spectrum of suggestions.
The OP has thrown caution to the wind and decided that the D800 is the camera for her.
Much like ballistics, I advocate spending the money ONCE. Rather than having buyers remorse/regret and making comments like , " I should have bought that d800.
As far as image quality from a full frame sensor being nonexistent, when compared to a croppy, I don't think I'll entertain the stupidity of THAT statement any longer.
So lets just get that right out of the way, right now.
And I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
