The MH-26 arrived from B&H this afternoon.  This is the dual battery charger for the ENEL-18 batteries.  BTW, where are those batteries?

DxOMark Rates D800 #1 Overall

DxOMark has just published their evaluation of the D800.  The new Nikon placed 3rd in the Studio and Sport categories, and 1st in Landscape, which was enough to take the #1 spot.  The overall score was an impressive mark of 95.  Thanks DxOMark, but this isn’t going to make it any easier for me to get hold of the D800.  You do realize that, right?
