did the tuning with objects around my room around 6-8ft away, then "real world" as i took pictures. It's not 100%, but the values are very close to what they should be, especially since i tested with static objects at home. Nothing close to +/- 20 anyway.

i'll give it a shot. thanks!

af is noisy depending on the lens, sometimes consistently hunting for contrast and may not get what you want to be in focus, best would still be manual focusing

I would agree. The built-in mic can pick up the AF noise. Depending on the lens, the focus breathing when it is making small AF hunting adjustments can drive you nuts!

Pressing the AF-On button when an AF adjustment is required seems to be a good compromise.

I've also found it better to turn off the automatic gain control of the mic to prevent the audio from clipping.

Used AFS lens to be solving noise problem.

Very impressed with D800's high iso performance.

Shot at ISO 6400, f1.4, 1/50 with AFS85 f1.4G in pitch darkness (JPEG, cropped)

Are u sure that this shot by using iso 6400? This is impossible. How much the body of d800? My d7000 at 6400 is suck with the result.

Do i need to say more?

i seriously don't understand why do u hv to doubt the high iso capabilities of D800.. FX and DX - Its a diff league, u don't compare apple to orange..

 

[Blur Shadow]

ISO 6400 and f/1.4. That is quite a bit a light. I don't see a problem.
