Nikon D810.

Can't really test IQ yet until Adobe properly supports it.
Anyway shot of cat at ISO 6400 and converted to DNG and imported to LR.

Nice. So, what happens when the D810e appears? :D

How do you find the AF from the D800?

Haha, frankly I'm already annoyed the new camera only has an extra 10 and is missing an E.

I haven't done much shooting with them atm, but I would say AF is basically the same speed, however the 810 seems a little more accurate. I'm not sure whether my mind os play tricks on me, but it does seem more 'consistent'.

I have a wedding this weekend but I think I'll still use my field tested E's until adobe fully support the D810 and I'v used it a little more.

That noise performance is astonishing, it looks like ISO 800 on my A77. :(

Yes but it's not so bad, as your A77 has IBIS.

Had ago at adding some NR. It may be just me but it seemed to clean up well without losing much detail.
Although I still prefer it with natural grain.

Ha ha. :p
I always find it ironic that I much prefer the look/colours of film, but have never owned a film camera. :o

I don't know why more camera makers don't do what Fuji do, and provide camera settings to mimic film sooc.

Tested the video quickly, and audio seems much cleaner than the d800's noisy pre-amp.
Also looking forward to some 1080p slow motion.
Video/sound is unedited.

I do like that noise on the 6400 shot. Very clean :)

Cmon Canon, bring out the 5Dmk4, daddy needs new 0% finance options :p

Well I'm expecting the 5d iiii to make a fairly big jump compared to the D810 as apparently it's not out until 2015. According to rumours Canon have made good progress with sensor tech, and I'm expecting big leaps in terms of video.

The D810 looks like a nice small incremental upgrade from the D800/E but not something I would go for already having a D800. I'll wait until the D900/E or whatever it is called.

I partly agree tbh. I have noticed a few other improvements that look minor to most, but will make a big difference to me from a usability standpoint. One being the control stick thing that I haven't seen anyone else pickup on.
 
I don't think we will see a d900 (well at least not for 9 years as eldude said).

I'm expecting..
d3100 d3200 d3300 d3400...
D5100 d5200 d5300 d5400...
D7100 D7200 D7300 D7400...
D610, D620, D630, D640...
D810, D820, D840, D850...
D4s, D5, D5s, D6, D6s,...

Perhaps I'm wrong though, but I don't see where else Nikon can go while keeping some kind of symmetry/order in it's product naming scheme. MK1 2 3 4 5 6 is a much better naming scheme.
 
I ordered a LAING P-04 as the youtube reviews were quite positive. I also liked that it was relatively light.
The below video was apparently made with one, and I quite liked the smooth movement (probably best to start about half way through).

I'll see how I get on...
 
I only carry a maximum of 3 lenses during a wedding.
36mp + AA less + 85 is my 85-200. I rarely need such a lens but when I do, I would shoot it with the 85 and crop. If I need to crop allot I would stop the lens to 2.8 for tack sharp pixel level files.

The 28 1.8 and 85 1.8 are much lighter than the F1.4's while just as optically good, and are my alternatives for when my feet hurt, and I'm aching all over after running around all day. Recently sold the 28 now though and replaced it with the 35 1.8 that's in the post.

Regarding the 105, I'm not really into macro, and even when I do.. I just use extension tubes.

It's a bit brighter. The red light that lights up the grid and af point is a little too bright compared to the d800 imo, but overall the D810 feels marginally nicer to look through, at least for me.
