It's hard to get a true understanding of how good this camera is by simply reading its spec sheet. Fortunately, we here at Inqmind have been shooting with it's predecessor (the D700) since its release in 2008, and have been excitedly waiting for this day for a long time.

While most people will get caught up in the game of megapixels – a game that the D800 plays exceptionally well, boasting a whopping 36.3 megapixel sensor – the real measure of any DSLR is how it handles white balance and how it operates in low light situations (which can arguably become a conversation about lenses).

The D800 however has a whole slew of upgrades, but what a lot of people have been really waiting for (myself included) is the ability to record video. Now that the day has arrived, I can quit my day job as a photographer, and realize my dream as a director... just kidding.

The only downside to this story is that the D800 will be retailing for about $3000 and up (depending on which model you get), which is about $1000 more expensive than the D700. Either way, we're still copping. For all you photog junkies, head over to Gizmodo to read about it in more detail.
