hmm.gif I didnt intend it to be High dynamic Range~ it was one photo in raw. I just tweaked it in Lr and resize n watermarked in Ps. The "Halo" is from bumping up Clarity slider to 100 value. blush.gif

200mm on a FF isn't much of a zoom to be honest. Its something like people bringing 18-135 on a crop LOL. No big deal la ._.

Is it anyone from lolyat? laugh.gif
LOL I never like to use my original straps that comes with the camera body. All my original straps are never used. My D300 and D700 (as with D800 too) straps are still unused. Still in wraps in the box like the day I got it.

QUOTE(hkenh @ Apr 14 2012, 01:55 AM)
Yeah, one thing I like a lot is details. I love to see DETAILS!  tongue.gif
And the power of the sensor in enabling one to capture all the details and resolution makes you feel the money invested in expensive glass money well spent.  laugh.gif
Yes, exactly. Something like trying to see what kind of details your current lens lineup can resolve. Surprising that my "old" 135mm f/2 and 85mm f/1.4D can still do. Screw driven lenses are quite snappy and lively on the D800.

QUOTE(hkenh @ Apr 14 2012, 01:55 AM)
I read, you need to switch it on thru liveview but after that you can shoot it thru viewfinder and it will detect the face, which is great with backlit situation.
I need to RTFM one of these days when I'm on the throne (toilet bowl). smile.gif

QUOTE(hkenh @ Apr 14 2012, 01:55 AM)
hehe, I seriously don't bother with fps. I shoot single shot mode all the time on my D700. Frankly, never once used CL or CH on the D700 for shooting(use it just to test it works rclxms.gif ). So I really can't relate to the fuss of 4fps is too slow etc by all the ppl.  rclxm9.gif
I keep it on CH but I burst 2 or 3 at most depending. Useful especially in situations when you cannot communicate with your Thai subjects to do this and that post or tell them to repeat that position since the first frame was accidentally cropped off the head / hand... icon_question.gif

QUOTE(hkenh @ Apr 14 2012, 01:55 AM)
or maybe it already auto detect faces without doing anything. Does it frame the face when you playback the pictures?
No. In playback mode, you can just view the focus point you used.

QUOTE(hkenh @ Apr 14 2012, 01:55 AM)
oh. . .apparently need to be in AF-C and Auto-area AF for it to work smile.gif
wow. . . some even says no more the need of focus and recompose!!!
I think you still need to. The AF focus layout is similar to D700 and it's concentrated in the middle.

QUOTE(ifer @ Apr 14 2012, 05:20 PM)
One thing that makes me perk up is the fact that you mention of downsizing a 36mp camera to 12mp. Please pardon my ignorance but why wouldayone want to do that? Why don't just get the D7000 then?
Depends on who's using the D800... You're a working professional. Most people are serious enthusiast and likelihood of WANTING to print 36MP is not something you would want on a daily basis.

It's just like having a Lambo for your daily drive. Not so convenient with maintenance, pot holes etc but nice to have. If someone says, hey let's head for the track, you'd won't be out of place !

Yup. Some people are armed with handholding the 300mm f/2.8.

If it's a Sigma, it's 120-300mm f/2.8. 100-300mm is an f/4 only lens.

If not wrong, Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 SSG lens is still the most expensive 70-200mm lens compared to other manufacturers.

I think you still need to. The AF focus layout is similar to D700 and it's concentrated in the middle.
in AF-C if you recompose it will still only focus within the AF focus layout area (so no fundamental differences), so with this face detection feature the face of the subject will always be in focus(around the AF area) and you can put all your attention on the composition. Depending on how well it works, I think the days of getting frustrated because image is OOF after recompose may well be gone for good.

since you have the camera you should try it out how well does it work. Put ur settings to AF-C and Auto-area AF and then do some test. It doesn't need to be a real person, you can even shoot poster with a face. laugh.gif
