It's a bit slow today, due to all the extra traffic.
95 points overall, with the Phase One IQ180 coming in second at 91. Whats impressive is that the Phase One costs 16X the D800 at $48,000. I also found it pretty shocking to see the D800 in 3rd right under the D4 on the low light test, with a healthy gain over the D700. I think it'll lose this 3rd place spot to the 5DMarkIII though, Canon has been stepping it up in this area by dumping APS-H on the 1D line and not pushing above 22MP on the new 5D. Kicking myself a little for canceling my pre-order, but I'm also glad because I've seen the price drop on Amazon UK by 300 pounds ($475US) right before launch...so I kind of dodged a bullet. I'd love to get one for $2,500 when they're in stock later, but after this news $3,000 doesn't sound bad at all.
