What should I say ....
Far better than my old H3D39 but also better than the IQ180....
I for myself have already started thinking .....

Terry I believe you are right about this, but they also gave it a 14.4 EVS DR mark which was previously unheard of and unmatched (at least with their testing method) by any other camera to date. Note too its portrait rating was also very high but don't recall the numbers.Doesn't that score have to do with the overall and where MF backs will fall down is on the sports score?
Hasselblad V Zeiss on the D800....that's something I hadn't even considered.But the sensor - really nice.
Calls for Zeiss Nikon mount - and - put Hasselblad V lenses with adapters on it and this thing will fly !

Not testing the D800 with the 14-24 kind of sums up dpreview for me. It's higher up the totem pole than he who I dare not mention (KR) but not by much IMHO.Uwe
I was just talking about the samples on DP Review. I know the 14-24 is a great lens, unfortunately they did not use it. I saw several zooms and a 16-35mm. The Macro stuff is also OK, but still - I would bet put our Hartblei 4/120mm Makro TS or the Hartblei 4/40 IF TS on it and this will break the roof !

WRT 16-35 and the 14-24 I have a different opinion. Having worked with both, the 16-35 is very much on par with the 14-24, plus it is much more versatile and light and has VR!Not testing the D800 with the 14-24 kind of sums up dpreview for me. It's higher up the totem pole than he who I dare not mention (KR) but not by much IMHO.
Frankly you're only going to get acceptable results from the D800 I'd you use the very best Nikon glass. The 16-35VR is a very useful lens but not up to the PC-E, new wide G's & 14-24.
You really can't conclude this. The LensRentals.com tests showed MTF 50, which correlates vaguely with subjective quality in an unmanipulated image. It doesn't tell us anything about practical resolution limits, which are somewhere in the MTF 5 to 20 range, depending on noise performance.LensRentals.com - “D” resolution tests
as it seems that the lenses do need about any bit of performance and do as well NOT get to the resolution(Nyquist) limit of the sensor I think the question for the Non AA version is answered- it is simply not necessary as the lenses will probably not run into moiree, or if any only under VERY uneasy conditions.
