No, but I did see Kai from DigitalRev take a Canon, basically dropped, kicked, submerged, and took a torch to it and it STILL fired. The debate (and that's all it is) of which is best will never be solved. Just fodder for long posting lists. Cheers. Oh, and yes, I do shoot Canon.

I think Jerry is feeling that he's almost ready for a Canon.
If he gets a Canon, he can stop checking his oil daily, and be able to wear a big, white hat!! SS

I’m in engineering. In my career I have often seen engineers getting caught up in their zeal for perfection with little regard to whether the time and energy and money spent will contribute value to the end product. Everything is a process that results in a final product. We have a saying here. “We measure with a caliper, mark it with a chalk then cut it with an axe.
Applying this logic here, it makes little sense for most photographers to spend this kind of money to acquire a supper sharp image only to process it in Photoshop then have it printed at Walmart.

Being realistic, Both Canon and Nikon make excellent cameras and lenses it only boils down to personal preference. I chose Nikon. I have the D800E and it is a stellar performer. There are a couple of drawbacks. When hand holding this camera your technique has to be flawless otherwise your images will be soft. The other thing is that the files are huge and when it comes to storing them it could be a problem unless you have a good system for this. Otherwise the camera is a beast to put it mildly. Most people do not need something like this because they will never have the need for the file capability of this camera. If you intend to make large prints or if you are professionally involved and you need the highest quality by all means buy this camera. If you just want to get a full frame camera I would suggest the D600 over the D800E. I am extremely satisfied with my D800E, the images cant be beat. If you get this camera you will be amazed at the quality of the files that it makes. One last thing. This camera will quickly show you how good your lenses are. If you dont have good glass the camera will easily reproduce any flaws in your lenses.

You'll also have a bunch of morons with no common sense or personal reasoning skills when the net crashes or there's a power failure. Seems there's just too many who want the easy way out and take that pill or implant that neural interface and wifi connections to make their decisions for them. This allows then an easy excuse for errors without any personal responsibility for their actions or responses.
The internet is not foolproof nor 100% accurate in the information attained there. Thus, until information is accurate, concise, and presented intelligably from internet sources, this future you see with implants is nothing short of "BIG BROTHER" in control and shades of "1984".

The did a shootout of the D800e against the Hasselblad H4D-40

IF I had any doubts about the capability of the D800e they where completely shattered.

The D800e held it's own nicely.

I don't have an "E" but I have been using my D800 since last October and really like it. The only problem is very large file size when shooting RAW. I am looking for a nice D700 as my backup. Full frame is great. I have used mine for wedding, portraits, landscapes and action including horse events and racing so don't let anyone tell you the camera isn't capable of sports or action. I have adjusted to the FPS and it has not been an issue for me. Just shot over 5,000 at an event 3 weeks ago.
