Are? you serious? Of course it can!!!!
Wow, great camera!? Great Video!
I was wondering how do you get such a clear and sharp vide pic when you imported to youtube?? I recently bought D800 and couldn’t get the export setting right. Thank you in advance. You answer much appreciated !
Sweet Jesus !?
Spot on re the lens choice – for sure use only pro Nikkor lens on this. I had a Sigma 70-200 in the bag at the time I got my D800 and it really isn’t up to the high end? glass the D800 needs – that went on eBay and I bought the 70-200 VRII which is tons better. Good review.
Nice work, keep it up mate…
BTW… beyong your talent? I don’t know…? that is some fine photography.
Fantastic review of the features. I Just ordered one with a 24-70. I can’t afford an ultra-lens yet, so I’m going to shoot a Sigma 10-20? in DX mode. I just hope I don’t get a body with the left focus problem.
cool gundam there? lol
I know you said the camera exceeded your own ability, but I thought some of your pictures were FANFREAKINGTASTIC!? Anyway great review and as I have come to expect a fair, straight to the point review
Great review dude keep? it up.
Yes.?
Happened across this? by accident. What on earth gave you the right to give such a sane and down to earth review? Seriously, keep it up. Good stuff.
What lense did? you use for the tunnel shot? 24-70?
so what is your kind of Camera that you like to walk? around with, have you tried the OMD or the Fuji Xpro1 ?
Nope, didn’t hit any of the issues that are reported here and there, and? no, haven’t gone hand son with the 5DmkIII so can’t comment.
Just from the? platform, yup.
woah! great train tunnel shot!? was that taken from just the platform or what?
I have watched endless video’s about the D800, and this is the first one that shows some images that? impress me with the fine detail and image quality, and make me want to buy the camera, so thank you for that, did you notice any of the bad issues with the camera that i keep hearing about ? like paint coming off of buttons, green screen, out of alignment view finder, focus point issue, bla bla bla ? ,,,,,, also have you ever used the Canon 5D mark lll and if so how do the images compare ? thanks
@deathsmate100? get a d7000
@Blunty3000 Hi mate, great vids. I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction for getting a good beginners digital camera. There is so many on the market and I don’t really? know much about what to look for. The price is not really important but I am total noob in photography. Please help lol.
Can this camera handle well in weddings??
3:01 is that he’s holden VT commdore ??
wouldnt it be cool if MARKET CITY was renamed FLYNN’S??
So what your saying is the image in the veiw finder dosn’t change when you adjust the F-stop and Apature settings. Although I never have any problem fitting over 500+ RAW pictures on my 8MB memory card. That is more than I? will shoot in a year. I get awsome quality photos from it. I really just lack experience to know whats what I guess.
I did know how to use them at one point but I always had the visuals, and a color meter, with my old SLR to guide me. But when? I upgraded to didgital, I forgot how to,especially because I have to use the same wheel to do both aperture and f-stop. Lack of experience is my problem, took a college class on all that stuff, but I don’t get out enough to take lots of pictures. On the up side I can take over 500? RAW pictures with that 8MB memory card which is more than I would ever shoot in one year!
