I have owned the D800 and the D800E, although not actually at the same time. There is very little to choose between them.

Try using the kit lens first. Then if you find that you mostly shoot at 18mm, 35mm etc you can consider investing in a prime lens of your most frequently used focal length.

If I were you I would borrow my partner's cameras. That might then inform a future purchasing decision.

I have owned a few different Canon G-series cameras over the years and they have all been great fun to shoot with. They are an easy recommend. I quite like Nikon's 1 series as well. What does an original Fuji X100 fetch second hand? That is still a terrific camera.

Thanks everyone. What about specific models though?

Can anyone recommend a really good tripod and head combo that fits these requirements...? Well made, reliable and very stable Capable of supporting up to 5kg of camera or other equipment without strain Capable of being easily transported from car to studio and back (but not necessarily lugged...

I agree. It's very impressive.

I think that's the best reason to choose one DSLR over another in today's market.

Hi, I shoot Nikon a) because I have historically preferred the ergonomics of Nikon bodies and b) because I have a collection of Nikon lenses. Honestly though I doubt that there's really any appreciable difference in image quality between equivalent Canon and Nikon cameras.

36MP will tend to do that. Persevere though. It's worth it.

It works great without VR. I can't see Nikon introducing a VR version anytime soon.

I could argue either way. Personally I'd go the Eye Fi route and upload files to my laptop whenever it's in range.

Not without the camera kit or a third party equivalent. You might want to consider an Android tablet, many of which have USB ports and card readers built-in.

How is that a backup?

With an iPad another option would be to buy the camera connection kit but its expensive and arguably not as elegant as the wireless option.
