Wedding shooters will probably love this. I bet this thing will shoot in the dark or near dark with the proper lens attached.
Actually, the iso is limited to 6400. Since the pixel density is so high, high iso performance is affected.

Which lenses might meet the resolution of this sensor?
Anyone care to guess what the RAW file sizes are going to be on the D800!?
I read they are almost 80 MBs! That might tax your average laptops processor too.
Here's my conversation with the Gateway sales rep on the phone back in 1992.
Me: Should I get the 20 MB hard drive for the tower desktop or upgrade to the 40 MB hard drive?
Sales: Frankly, 40 MB is over the top. You will never need more than 8 MB.
Me: Thanks! I appreciate your feedback.
I was reading through the DPReview Preview on the camera. So unless I misunderstood, you can mount both DX and FX lenses on this camera, and because of 36.3 megapixel sensor, on mounting an DX lenses one gets an APSC sensor size which takes pics at 15.3 megapixels. What happens to the rest of the sensor? Won't there be black banding all around the pic?
As I understand it, the camera simply captures the DX size image, if you have it set to that. Think of it as a cropped image. It probably captures a FF image, then crops out the "unused" portion of the image. You end up with a 15 MP APS RAW file. It also has a 5:4 portrait option.
Bold - presumably you mean a DX lens?
Hi Andrew and Boid, there won't be any cropping, the readout will be only from the central part. My assumption is based on the fact, that in DX mode the speed increases, while if it would be doing cropping it should decreases.Hey Andrew, thanks for the reply. Does the cropping happens in-camera? Does the camera automatically adjust for a DX lens? What implication would it have on the DOF? It sounds great to be able to mount an DX lens, especially for wildlife photography where reach would matter!
