the macro one?
dont see any reason why AiS lenses wont work, as it has been working on other bodies already.

only question is whether it can resolve the high mp of the D800...guess u can be one of the first few to find out

yesterday was doing a yumcha session with my friends and somehow the topic of photography came up and one of my friend a canon user was saying that he "read an article or comments in dpreview that because d800's high MP, the current line up of nikkor lens cannot handle the resolution (meaning cannot maximize) and most images would become SOFT. thats why, Canon is not chasing MP's but changing its line up of lenses."

to me im normally pretty cool with who ever uses what la, not a real technical person either. for me its about the images at the end of the day not the technicalities of the gears. But when one hears smug comments like that, its kind of annoying. As if we are in the wrong camp and Nikon's made a booboo. I have heard this same sentiment from numerous d700 / d3 s/x owners. That D800's mp too high and current lens line up might not be able to maximize it. Maybe they are all reading from the same blog... hmm..

My unfounded theory is that it will look soft because its BIG. If you scale it down to maybe 12 mp it will look sharper than say actual 12mp sensor results. Anyone care to enlighten me..

Is it really worth the extra cash if i sell my D700 and get a D800, i am not interested in the video.
Anyone sold their d700 and got a D800,is it better?

Actually, my main upgrade points from D700 to D800 would be the 100% VF and new AF module which is supposedly better than D700's.
