D800 is finally here

no one has mentioned the in-camera hdr... I'm only an amateur but i think it would be an incredible handy feature in some situations, at least for normal people like me looking to jump to a fullframe camera from a rebel

I really hope canon will offer it in the 5d successor

its jpg only, any in camera post processing is not going to give you anything comparible to what you can achieve in post using the raw files. in camera HDR is 100% gimmick unfortunately. i would rather use the cameras processor to achieve the cleanest Raw files possible. I mean that is the whole proint in shooting with DSLR cameras to shoot in RAW and have complete control. God forbid they implement some sort fo gaudy in camera tone mapping too  that is a scary thought. They could make it a new scene selection mode and call it Fine Art mode...

I don't know where it was mentioned, but isn't the 36mp limited by the quality of the lenses?  I believe there is a physical limit by which a digital sensor and lens can handle before diffraction is introduced?  This is the reason why medium format cameras have a larger sensor and lenses that cost $3k because they are geared to handle the large amount of light necessary to utilize the MP.

It will still be interesting to see what Canon comes out with.  Call me crazy, but I probably won't buy the newest 5dMk3 or whatever, because of budget, would rather buy the 5dMk2 and save some $ then go broke.

Thank you,
