You already have it then just use it. If you encounter issues, get another like Sandisk.

Or sell it off in BnS and get a Sandisk.

My memory card is Kingston 16gb 133x / elite pro... How about this card? Suitable for D800???? Please advice

I can said not eought good speed and the Kingston also not suitable for 36mp if taken for Raw file.
At lease your memory card must using the SanDisk extreme pro or extreme type to keep the faster read & write speed with most safe the data for your each photos.

It's one of the known problem with the D800. If use Lexar or Sandisk, then not much problem there. See:

Finally something to share, notice when low light, you really need a very steady hand

This work perfectly for your d800 as they are the best of what Nikon has to offer for wide angle and mid range zoom

Really envy u... my 1st DSLR was the d40 with 18-55 & 55-200...

From from own (limited) experience, you have to have a grasp of the technicalities of taking photographs. For example, D800 ISO-Auto functions somewhat differently from my D300 (not even mentioning A,S,M modes). You need to dial in the ISO Auto as well (for my own camera.. bit strange but no big deal if I know what and how I would like to shoot). Using manual mode, one could exploit the prowess of the D800 even more fully.

Since I do not know your background or experience, my only advice to to master the basics otherwise you'll be disappointed why the pics didn't turn out the way you want it esp for a $$ camera. On my recent holiday trip, I prefer 'some' of the colour dynamics of shots taken by my daughter using a $300+ PnS camera than even my own D800 >$4000 D800 on P mode

Embarrassing... there u go. Haha
