jasenz - the pic with the giraffe and the bird is absolutely phenomenal! I have a d800 and love the crazy amount of detail I\'m getting with my camera but after looking at this shot I\'m wondering if I should have got the d800e instead. do u also have a d800? if yes, are the heavily cropped images comparable?
one other question. i only shoot jpegs but if I shot RAW instead will the difference be worth all the trouble of dealing with post-processing? (i\'m obviously not a pro, just an expensive hobby)
Hey thanks for the comments. I think the photo has not got much artistic quality but certainly shows the amount of detail the camera is capable of. It really is phenomenal.
I am pretty sure the d800 will give you just as much detail with the right processing. I dont have one to do any testing to compare however.
But i will be surprised to find much difference, as after all they are essentially almost the same camera. So you should really keep the D800 and be happy with it. I would have been happy with either model, but it just happens the D800e\'s queue is much shorter and i was comfortable moire was not going to be an issue with what i shoot.
With a camera like this, you should shoot raw irrespective of whether its a D800 or D800e. That is my opinion. And irrespective of whether you shoot raw or jpg, i dont think the difference between the two cameras is significant enough for one to trade one in for another. Just pick your weapon. You really cant go wrong
