I agree, the shutter speed is plenty high in all of the photos. Probably too high in the shot with 1/8000th. Remember that the dynamic range is higher at ISO 100 (As compared to ISO 800). So, even though you might not see any noise, you might have got a better shot with a lower ISO.
For reference, look at the Dynamic Range graph here:
On the other hand, if you just took it straight out of the box, I'm pretty impressed with what you've done. Coming from a D700 can be daunting. There are so many controls and settings...
Jeez guys, give the guy a break, just because he's using iso 400. Would you tell a guy with a D3s to lower his iso? For the shutter speed, fair enough, sure, but not for any noise, or dr..

In situations where light varies in intensity (eg. in shade then not in shade) I'll usually put the ISO a slight bit higher (but not to high as to hit the shutter max) and then I don't have to watch my shutters speeds as much..
So I think it's a trade off I'd be willing to accept in unpredictable situations.
