I can assure you it is 100% accurate.

If I used a real model when playing around with my lighting set up, I'd be broke by now. It often takes me days to get it just right.

yes, does it have my 5d2 biggest weakest. Blown highlights and noisy shadow details?
I seen reviews of nikon d800 amazing DR. I feel that the greatest gain over 5d2 is the DR .

I heard that D800 DR can match some medium format. What do you think?
my PC have some power supply issue, i would need sometime to fix my PC so i can see the tiff on my 30 inch monitor. such resolution wasted on my notebook.

Not when it comes to studio portraits. The Phase One is way ahead. Take a look at the image on your best monitor. That's converted directly from RAW with no processing. No saturation tweaking, no sharpening, no noise filters.. just straight off the sensor.

However, the D800 scores higher in low light high ISO settings. The Phase One was not designed for low ISO. Its sweet spot is in controlled lighting situations. If you took the Phase One to shoot an indoor sports activity, the images would be absolute shit. The D4 would be the camera of choice for action shots.

The D800 is a fantastic all rounder though. If I had a limited budget and wanted a camera that could do almost everything very well, it would be my camera of choice.

With a big budget, I would go Phase One for portraiture, D4 for sports and D800E for landscapes.

For street photography, My Olympus OM-D is perfect. I wouldn't use anything else.

Oh yes i just saw with my 30 inch monitor, my old computer power supplies kaput. Have to replace it.

Yes, the IQ160 is very impressive indeed. Too bad, it weight a ton, cost a bomb and as big as a steam iron.
If i win the lottery, i will get on though. Thanks.

Most of the time, it's sitting securely on my tripod.
