Is it GAS or is it real?

I can trade my D300s and D700 bodies with MD-10 grip for a D800 body / straight up, no cash. All of my glass is Nikkor FX and high end. Benefit is one body vs two to get the reach my D300s provides; downsides are slower burst rate and HUGE file sizes. Comments appreciated. (I can not afford a D810 at this juncture). I have attached images shot 3 weeks ago in Iceland so you can see what I am into. Thanks.

If you are mainly shooting landscapes, then burst rate probably isn't really that important. I think it's best to choose a camera based on features that are useful to you. If an upgrade doesn't bring anything to improve your photography, then it doesn't make all that much sense to upgrade.

I dont think you need to change a thing as those images are great, especially the last one, very nice

Your images shown are excellent but if you are a landscape shooter especially, the D800 is the ultimate tool short of the D810. I would swap in a second. I have the D800 and file size means little as I use external hard drives and the prices for storage have dropped and will always be dropping. Frame rate is fast enough for anything I do.

Thanks, Joel. Turns out that the local dealer won't actually make a straight trade and I would have to throw money at it. Right now, unless I can sell some pics I can't swing it. Maybe later I can spring for a D810 but for now, I will just stay the course. PS - thanks for the positive comments on the images.

Actually nothing is "wrong". I have been cropping some images and losing resolution in the process so I thought maybe a sensor with more MP would give me more real estate to work with. Of course, choosing the right lens from the bag would have the same effect for free.....
I am going to stick with what I have until Nikon comes along with a really compelling body (and I have the $$ to buy it).
