Andy Rouse is a funny chap:
"On the subject of D800 sharpness, one D800 knocker spoke to me at Focus, spreading rumours that the D800 images would all be out of focus due to the file size. I have noted other reviewers suggesting that at low shutter speeds the D800 images are not sharp, all I can say is check the hare image at 1/60th second, put that in your pipe and schmoke it baby."
And:
"A lot has been written about the D800 being solely for bearded landscapers and architectural types with perpetually cricked necks. You know I sometimes wonder if the people that write this stuff are actually photographers or just technical writers who just read books instead of talking to girls."
Good man. I'm tired of hearing people say it's no good for this ir that, we had that out on the D800 thread, I still cannot believe that actual users of the camera still think it's "harsh" - it's not. No harsher than a D90 if you're not shooting steady enough
The only thing it lacks is a fast burst mode, and I don't think anyone should rely on such things. It'll be great for wildlife. I just bought a 300mm f4 for mine, and ordering a TC 1.4x on top. To give me a 420mm f/5.6. I'm keen on trying a little wildlife. Nothing specific, a bit of everything really. SO far I'm getting shap shots at 1/160 - using a 300mm lens that has no VR, hand held. Yup, that D800 is soooo 'harsh'
