I've been meaning to do this for some time. Just how good is the D800?
Well.. controlled test.
Copy lighting with 2x Bowens Esprit 500 heads 1:1 ratio.

Nikon D40 with 18-55mm kit lens set to 35mm @ f8 ISO200
Nikon D7000 with Nikkor 35mm f1.8G@ f8, ISO100. Manual focusing using live view.
Nikon D800 with Nikkor 50mm f1.8G @ f8 ISO100. Manual Focusing using Live View.
Sinar P2 5x4 monorail. Schneider Apo-Symmar-L 180mm. Fuji Provia 100F. Imacon X5 Scanner @ 2400dpi optical (300MB TIFF).
Interesting. Not as much between the D800 and 5x4 as I thought there would be. Obviously the 5x4 tramples all over the D800, but I Was expecting total annihilation. Look at the texture in the offset printing on the woman's face to see just how good 5x4 is.
Still nothing out there that can touch 5x4 film IMO.
