I have no clue what I'm saying here but most likely that's the future.. The work around with the 800 is live view but that just doesn't work well in many action situations.. so far anyway..

Subject: OT -- a question -- Re: [PanoToolsNG] Nikon D800 test with 16mm and 10.5mm
So as mirror-flap becomes a problem to overcome -- how does that reflect on mirrorless cameras as a possible avenue for reducing that particular problem?

In my earlier post I mentioned that I just got one a week ago.. So I've been shooting several lenses just to see what I get but all in the studio ....a controlled environment .. I'm honestly surprised.. and not in a positive way. At this point I'm seeing that it's not just the lens that's important but also what were shooting it off of.. On what I thought was a half way decent tripod with slower shutter speeds mirror slap is showing up.. or I think it is.. as when I bump up the shutter speed, shoot off something that I know is really solid or lock the mirror I get a different image as far as sharpness goes..
> At this point non of any of this is really surprising me.. I read all the hype just like the rest of us did and am still trying to work thru it. Anyway for this guy I think we have to deal with more then just a lens choice.. I feel holding the camera still needs to come first.
