Sooooo, finally I will break my longterm and mostly very harmonic relationship to Canon and give it a try with the D800.

Since I am from the other ship, may I ask the Nikon users for a good lens recommendation? Which lens is best capable of handling those MP? Beyond the usual 2x-70x/120 range I want to buy a decent wide angle / fisheye, but could not find any good competition for the Canon 8mm. Thanks guys!

Thanks Tab :-)

Pretty much as to my D3X, PRIMES! thats it. If you do feel the need for any zooms, yes the 14-24 is the one to go for, possibly the 70-200 VR but thats a gamble, some samples are OK, others are not.

BTW. Rumors has it that Canon will soon be launching something similar to the D800 with just as many MPs. Give it a thought.

best of luck,  whatever you cant go wrong.

Hi,
I have an 800e and use a 85mm F1.4G and 28-70mm F2.8.  Both are wonderful.

Best of luck,

Mark

Yes, defnitely. I am so used to zooms but I should consider using the opportunity to switch at least one lens. I heard about the possible Canon cam (3D?) but I am afraid that the price tag will be too high for me since the mkIII is already very pricey....
