Tough learning curve, but the result is near medium format quality photos.
This camera, beyond low f-stops and fast shutter speeds, requires planning and knowledge of the accessories used with it. In the FX setting, image blur with high ISO, chromatic aberration and motion blur are unforgiving enemies that were more tolerated with lower pixel cameras and even in the DX setting of the D800. I have taken thousands of test shots to learn the limits of my Nikkor lens' and filters when used with the D800. Once mastered, the quality of the photo printed as a 6'X4' photo is unparallelled. I rarely print, but when I do, it's large. I now have the choice to crop down and still be able to keep good resolution in larger prints. The details in the photos are amazing. This camera will force one to become more technically aware of equipment, setup and post processing. You're technique will be challenged by the D800. If you are not willing to work through the learning process, there will be a question on why you purchased the camera. I found that my D700 allowed me to have a less rigid technique and still produce good shots. You will not have that with the D800; which is good if you aspire to improve your abilities.

Gets the job done
I have only shot 120 photos and the customer was impressed with the quality of the lighting on an outdoor shoot. They stated that it looks like we were 3D in the photos. I'm quite pleased and looking forward to the second one arriving.
