Originally had D800E on order at amazon. Canceled because it was going to take over 2 months. Ordered D800E at local place, which was going to take 2 weeks...
Went to NEX (Navy Exchange) and picked up D800 for 2996 out the door...
Figured I saved right at 600... because E was going to cost 3300 plus 300 sales tax...
I have 45 days to return it and got a 4 year any issues throw it in water and we will replace it for 99 dollars.
So we will see how I like it.
I will post pics and my review.
I played with a 5D Mk3 I can honestly say the MK3 felt lighter and slightly smaller and was more comfortable in the hand... I know nikon\'s system better so that seemed easy to get used to. The MK3 also seemed to auto focus faster but it had an L lens on it and the nikon a cheap 10-24.
I could hear the slight shake in the Flash but was so vauge and you have to really shake it so thats a NON ISSUE really because the lanyard holders will make much more noise lol.
the serial number is 30k Something
I will let you all know how i like it.
i have 50 1.4 G lens and Sigma 150-500
It was really tempting to switch to Canon because all my friends and EVERY professional i know in Hawaii uses Canon...
But at the same time, this made me want to use the Nikon.
I really wanted the E version... but we will see. I think the D800 will do just fine.
I am going to sell my D7000 and 35 1.8 and 18-105 lens with B+W filters on them has less than 6k actuations lol
