Seems to be an amazing camera, like the D700 before it. I moved from the D3s to
the D4 though, and got the D800E for a smaller substitute, but it certainly lacks
the dynamic range at high ISO that the D4 so effortlessly provides.

Not true.

The D800E and the D4 are virtually identical in high ISO
dynamic range. See the graphs that Bill Claff produces,
or any other quality data, such as from DXO, for dynamic
range of these cameras.

http://home.comcast.net/~NikonD70/Charts/PDR.htm

The D800E at ISO 12800 gets 4.92 fstops and the D4 gets
4.99 fstops. That is about the amount of difference at
any point from ISO 400 to ISO 25600.

Of course at lower ISO's than 400 it is the D800E that
"so effortlessly provides" very significantly more
dynamic range than a D4. The D800 and and D810 are
virtually identical to the D800E, while the D4S is
slightly better (5.2 fstops at ISO 12800).

And note that the D750 at ISO 12800 gets 4.82 fstops of
dynamic range. Not significantly different except from
the D4S (the difference there is still only 0.38 fstops
and you'd be hard pressed to see that in actual
practice.)

I wonder what he would have thought about the D4s? It seems most of the review is
his amazement that a D*** met his expectations as a D* replacement, so if he had
bought a D4, his review would probably have been "yeah, it's better - as
expected" really
