Auto AF Fine Tune: Nothing, absolutely nothing to the subject, but hundreds of words around which address people entirely new to AFMA, not to speak about Auto AFMA. It doesn't appear to me this guy tried that function with many lenses, he just blows a can of (more) hot air into the cosmos. In my experience his "max +5/-5" is plain bullshit, I had lenses from Nikon which were off around 15. So, talking the need of AFMA down - I don't agree. Needing careful proceeding - I agree. Opening a can of worms - I agree, too, but that's the solution of the otherwise impossible to get FDAF-modules to zero tolerances.
Oh, and 3 million ISO are not the same as 400? how surprising... who says unusable? Marketing department was for sure very happy to put such numbers into the feature list :lol:
It would have been a miracle to me, if the early adopters would remain happy , people who want to find issues or "good - bad - ugly" combinations will find them - no matter if it's Nikon D5 or whatever else.
The DR can be an issue, but for as sports- and action camera I also would not put too much weight on that. Or to be more precise: I never will buy one anyway. On the other side, the way dpreview works on finding the DR is quite useful. Sure, one can always do the HDR-series of static subjects which users of less good DR capable bodies have to do because otherwise they get weak shadows and blown highlights. I'd be disappointed if the sensor of the D810 made less than 4 stops of underexposure possible. To me, great DR is a very welcome feature - 3 million ISO are not.
