I do photograph landscapes, but I admit that I need a jack of all trades. Michael's point about many tools at hand is right - I have a more limited option set. The D800 and Mk III cross DR performance at around ISO 800 (

I'm often out with my camera on an AS head and Gitzo set of legs an a cable release, but I'm also shooting at the higher ISOs now because they are so clean. I'm not down on the D800 as capable of wonderful images - I made some nice landscapes with it (

I agree those issues vary by user, although I found the D800 focus to be frustrating, even in my landscape work if I was shooting with the lens more open or wildlife (part of that was AF, part of that was the Nikon's LCD zoom implementation - it's much easier to MF zooming in on the screen with the 5D Mk III, but that may also be a lack of better MF know how on my part).
