A month with the Nikon D800: Exclusive interview with Jim Brandenburg

Jim Brandenburg Interview with WDC
One of the world's top nature photographers, Jim Brandenburg spent three decades working for National Geographic. His feature, North Woods Journal, shot in the wilds around his home in Minnesota, contained the biggest selection of images in the magazine's history. His seminal book, Chased by the Light, spawned an Emmy nominated TV documentary and even an iPad app. He has produced numerous other books and won many awards and his fine art prints sell worldwide through his website and galleries.
So it's probably not that surprising that when Nikon was looking for someone to road test their top secret new DSLR, with its revolutionary new 36MP sensor, they asked Jim. That camera would become the Nikon D800, and in this interview he talks about his experiences with the new camera.

Has anyone ever seen anyone who is given a preview device giving a bad review? The truth will out in the first two months of release.

Fantastic interview, and just to clarify, he converts his 12bit or 14bit RAWs to 16bit tiffs. Tiffs come in two flavours, 8bit and 16bit. You don't get more data, the converted raws will only ever use 12bit or 14bit of the tiffs 16bits until he starts adding photoshop edits/layers. Hope this clears things.
