D800 does dance recital...

[Hangman]

I got a chance to try out the new cam in a dark environment at my daughter's dance recital today..
The theater was dark, dark and the camera earned its worth...

The D300 is a fine camera. I actually wish I had not sold mine. I missed a few shots with the D800 this weekend at my kid's Tae Kwon Do test that I would have been able to catch easily with my D300. I missed it because the D800 is only 4 fps, whereas my D300 was 8 fps with the grip.. And as it always is the case, the missed shots are always the critical ones..

We were not allowed to use flash.

Did you have the camera on a tripod? What were your ISO settings? I'll need to shoot my daughters recital in a few weeks.
