I am betting Daniel has the answer to this - I think he knows more than he lets on...

In all the comparisons I have seen, the d800 wins big on dynamic range in the video mode... YET, no one comments on this except Dave Dugdale did in his piece.

So DB - does the extra shadow detail show up in the stills? Any dynamic range comparisons out there that worth any salt?

I was thinking of titling this thread as "2nd impressions are there any?"
