Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor with 36.3 effective megapixels
The D800/D800E render levels of texture, nuance and detail to your photography that, until now, have been the exclusive domain of the complicated medium-format system. Define every eyelash, every line in tree bark, and every shimmer of light. Savor the exceptional depth in your still images — with the combination of an astounding 36.3 effective megapixels, the world’s highest*, and the outstanding performance of NIKKOR lenses, you can. Enlarge them as big as A1 poster-sized prints (59.4 x 84.1 cm/23.4 x 33.1 in.) at 200 dpi, or crop aggressively to reach the composition you desire, all without sacrificing the detail and tonal range of the original. In order to maintain clean, high-resolution images, 14-bit A/D conversion within the sensor and a high signal-to-noise ratio deliver phenomenal images in a diverse array of situations. The image sensor’s incredible potential does not stop with photography, either. For cinematographers ready to put their exceptionally sharp NIKKOR lenses into action, the D800/D800E’s 36.3 effective megapixel data is efficiently processed for exquisite 1080p broadcast quality video at 30p.

Canon XH A1S Professional HD Video Camera
For the professionals who require a smaller, lighter weight HD camcorder but who won’t give up capability and performance, Canon offers the XH A1S. Our latest in a family of high quality HDV camcorders, the XH A1S delivers advanced features and a wide range of image parameter controls to make your vision a reality- and at a very attractive price.
Starting with the superb Canon Genuine Canon 20x HD lens with Professional L Series Fluorite, the XH A1S adds 3CCDs, each of which is at 1440 x 1080 pixels. It also means you can be sure that your shooting in the field will be the best it can be with Canon’s SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization. It corrects for a wide range of camera movement and vibration, and combined with Instant AF (Auto Focus) you’ll get ultra-quick, accurate focus. The DIGIC DV II HD image processor finishes the picture with improved colour reproduction and noise reduction – for a final result that delivers excellent image quality.

Sony Handycam HDR-PJ760
The Sony HDR-PJ760 is a truly impressive camera, combining many of the technological features of Sony’s other products into one sophisticated device. This camcorder reaches almost professional standards in terms of video quality and performance, in particular showcasing the magnificent advancements in image-stabilisation technology, which we will rave about further on. Unfortunately, like many other Sony cameras, the cost of the PJ760 might prove to be too ambitious for people setting out to buy a simple camcorder. (source)

Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8
The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S is an ultra-ultra wide zoom. It’s not a fisheye; straight lines stay straight. It is intended for use on the D3, D700 and film cameras. It works great on the D300, but you’re paying dollars and pounds just to use the center of the image. The 12-24mm DX and Tokina 11-16mm are smarter ideas for the D300 or any other DX camera.
The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S set a new standard in ultra-ultra wide angle lenses. It was the best on the planet, by a large margin, until Nikon’s newer 16-35mm VR raised the bar even higher. This 14-24mm is significantly sharper than any other fixed or zoom ultrawide from Canon or Nikon that I’ve ever used, and I’ve used both Canon and Nikon’s 14mm, 18mm and ultra-wide zoom lenses extensively.
The 14-24mm does things no lens before has done. It is sharper wide-open at 14mm in the far corners than my fixed 14mm f/2.8 is stopped down at f/5.6! For sharpness, the 14-24mm is blazingly sharp and devoid of any coma or softness at every aperture, everywhere in the full film and FX field. It’s just nuts! Optically, if you’re looking too close, it makes the other ultra-wides look like poo-poo. Of course if you’re just taking pictures, any of the other lenses (20-35mm, 17-35mm, 18-35mm) works fine, and they take filters which the 14-24mm can’t. (source)
