    Amazing… I never knew people played polo on the beach.

    Seems like a good choice for action, some of the photographers already use them at Loftus for night games.

    Stunning pictures, although I think most of that has to do with the 400mm f2.8 lens....

    Hahahaha... Seems like Polo is the test of choice for both the 5dMkIII and D800... Nice shots!

    Yes, I agree... Dynamic range on the D800 is spectacular. I wish I could get one for a day to do a nice and solid review.

    If I can use your 5D Mark III, then you can have my D800 for the day!
