guys.. want to ask...

how the accuracy (not speed) of outer AF point (not the central cross- type)
of nikon d7000 and d300s... at large aperture
(using nikon lens, 50mm f1.8, 85 f1.8, 70-200 f2.8)
same as d700?

on my d300s, i'd say its about 99.9% acccurate, only 0.1% would be operator error, i.e. when i focus on my son running towards me, if i dont pan fast enough, camera will capture regardless of subject in focus,for portraits, im using a dynamic 21 point AFsetting without AF tracking on, for non moving subject its 100% accurate, i use this setting for a faster AF speed

When i switch to sports mode, -full 3D matrix, 51 points AF continous focuing, its dead accurate if it locks in a moving subject.

Taken with 35mm f/1.4G... but this round I didn't shoot wide open and was using flash.

Not SOOC, shot in RAW format. Edited in LR and using Vivid color profile and tweak WB according to my taste

if you can choose 2 lens it would be
12-24mm
18-200mm

if just 1 lens, then 12-24mm, then crop the pictures since you have the 16mp sensor

but my suggestion would be the 16-85mm, you wont regret it

24mp for what on an entry level Nikon pun mau untung liao this time ka.

so the D800 is for the mega newbie?

Newbies love high MP. When they see a DSLR, they usually go 'how many MP is this?'

So Nikon is probably on the right track... when the shop goes, 24MP sharp sharp. Newbies buys it immediately 

I own the 16-35 too
previously wanna get the 24 1.4g with the D800
but will get the 28 1.8g instead now

Get the D800 then resize it down to 12mp like D700. Gives you cleaner photographs at high iso compare to D700. Hahahahaa
