Its not about the hardware, its your software that counts!
These photos were not tweaked with software. I just exported them to JPEG so I could upload them.

Nice Pics, Reo! You know if I had started with a mirrorless like that (with no or minimal delay) I might never have looked toward the DSLR's. I like my compact for the convenience but missing so many shots due to the slow autofocus really bugged me on the last couple of trips.
I took a big plunge during the week and went ahead and ordered the D800 and a housing. I will have a lot of fun with it on land and can always sell the housing if I really hate it. But I think I'm going to love it ... it sounds like no one has been disappointed and feeling like they are lugging a concrete block around all the time! I have promised myself to leave the camera on-board for a few dives if it ever feels like work because its all in the name of fun for me.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I'll be sure and post some thoughts after I use it in the Turks & Caicos. Lot's to learn suddenly... but I like that!
Thanks Twilight!
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your photos here.
