Although with drastic cropping the D800 should probably win.

I go up to 12 X 18 print size and will just have to see how much cropping the D4 can stand. It certainly isn't a problem with the D800E! Thanks for the suggestion about the camera strap. Will look into it. Went to the Otter Bay terminal today but the eagles didn't show. Perhaps tomorrow, Howard Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 21:43:35 -0500 (CDT) From: grduprey at mchsi.com To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Subject: Re: [Leica] Shooting Eagles with the D4 and 80 - 400 VR zoom Hi Howard, Some really nice photos here. I like the eagle taking off, and the wing tips over water shots the best, but all are very good. You will find you can still do some large cropping if needed with the D4, depending on your final print size of course. You will also find the high iso capabilities are even better than the D800. I would also ditch the Nikon strap and get a aftermarket strap that will stay on your should better. I find the Nikon straps are worthless, as they never stay on my shoulder. I have Leica straps on my D700, F3 bodies. Cheers, Gene _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
