Had it on a Safari recently and the images were unbelievable. Depth, color saturation, etc. , best I've seen in any camera that I've used.
Those are impressive shots. Do you mind if I ask you how much the D800 and whatever lenses you used on that trip - weigh? And how much of your carry-on luggage that outfit occupies?
I'm taking an educated guess that it's quite a bit more than the 4.5 pounds and half of my personal item that my Micro 4/3 traveling gear (which includes one body and glass that the spans the FF equivalent of 20mm to 600mm) occupies.
