Nice review Greg. I went for the 800 over the E for cost reasons alone, and don't regret it. I suspect side by side in the real world I'm not going to see a difference at my level of skill.
As to the processing, I have finally got my new 24 CPU i7 with ssd's humming, and it's now quite fun to play with the data in near real time. Of course, now I need more data...!
As an example, my 3 year old Toshiba took 3 days to process the 110Gb of video I took during July's transit, and I have never bothered putting it into a movie because I had opted to save as tif rather than jpg. Last night I rectified that in two hours!
Anyway - loving the D800. It works quite well during the day, too.
Cheers,
Andrew.
