you can choose on Uncompressed and set to 14bit then the Raw output should be around 73-75.9MB per each..

My setting is Lossless compressed 14 bit. I don't need it to be any bigger:sweat: as the TIFF file will be even bigger !!

I do wonder if there's any benefit to shoot tiff. Universal uncompressed files?

Thanks bros for your likes and +ve comments.

Here's another pic with the D800.

Funny story, I started off from the back of the crowd and was literally pushed about. Next thing I knew, i was pushed to the front of the crowd and was facing the Mona Lisa in front of me! Very lucky indeed. Needless to say, I has a good time taking the picture and wish to share its beauty with all of u. Pity the reflective glass in front but I hope u like it

PS: My sincerest apologies for the copyright banner in front of the pic. Do imagine it not being there Thank you.

Ps : My colleague in France said the picture they put there are fake copy, the real one are keep hidden outside museum.

Was this pic (dynamic colors) captured due to the dynamic range advantage from D800 or just picture control?
For all I know is D800 give sharp image with rich details but at the cost of gigantic files. Avg > 40MB in size for raw.

Am I still right to say D700/D3s still the right way to go if high resolution big print is not require?

For D800 u can choose on uncompressed & 14bit of Raw for every single files output at 75~79.5MB per each.

Even after crop and made become 19inch screen wallpaper size or more large size an still can see much more amount of detailed.

The picture control was set to standard and no pp was done. So, yes the colour is basically from the D800 & 85mm lens combination.

As for the resolution, the benefit is more than just for big prints. The ability to crop and still have a great quality photo is an obvious advantage. And with large monitor screens in common usage, the ability to display the photo in all it's full glorious detail on a 27in monitor is just breathtaking. If you have the chance to view a full size JPG or TIFF file on a 27in Dell Ultra Sharp or Apple Thunderbolt, you will know what I mean :bsmilie:

Hi Beachboy

Good choice to bring the d800 along with u on ur upcoming trip.. i had no regrets Just take care of ur expensive equipment. Pics to share? too many But lets give other people a chance to post their d800 pics!

Polarizing filter would be helpful if u take pics outdoors.. Think u will still get gd amt of sunlight in Sept. U will see alot of leaves changing colour.. lucky you . But i'm not sure abt its use indoors.. anyway, the lighting conditions in the Louvre is not very bright so the use of a polariser is not recommended. But u can always try

The Mona Lisa is a fake?? Heard thatrumour somewhere but I like to think that that is real.. I think the Louvre would have some integrity.. so if they have that's the Mona Lisa, I take it as face value. But realistically, I dun blame them if that's a fake. A mighty good one I have to admit.

Do bring a zoom if the farthest u hav is only a 50mm.. u definitely need more. I used the 28-300mm for my trip.

All the best!
