My new D800 arrived today...what a camera!!!

Well, after almost three months, my D800 finally arrived today. Just started playing with it and I love the size and weight of the camera. Easier to hold than my D7000 and it is quite intuitive to use, haven't even picked up the manual yet. I love the four different crop modes, just put on my 50mm 1.4 and it is like having four different lenses. The video mode is much easier to use than the D7000 and I can't wait to shoot a 'film' short with it. :thumb The bigger screen in the back is nicer than the D7000 but I do see the slight color shift that people talk about. I hear nikon will adjust it in the next firmware update but honestly, it doesn't bother me. My first full frame camera...I am so glad I picked up full frame lenses the past few years anticipating I would eventually get a full frame camera. The bokeh on my 50mm 1.4 looks beautiful on this thing. Will take it out for a spin this evening...

I shot with the D800 and 200-400 VR for 9 days in Africa this month, so unbelievably amazing!
