lol, the 5.6 at 300 definitely isn't doing you any favours...

even the 4.5 at the close end of things is very slow. Great for sunny days and such, but even decent lighting indoors would cause you trouble with those apertures.

Supposedly there are 2 versions of the D800 coming out. one is short a coating on the sensor which allows for sharper images, but the likelyhood of more moar is very high. But the camera us supposed to come with software to help with that as well. Might be a consideration, and allow even higher ISOs be to usefull.

I used to shoot the F4 in the indoor horse riding arena and still had a bit of trouble with it. I ended up shooting my 100mm F2.8 and my 135 F2 just so I could maximize the light. A lot cropping was needed to get the shots I wanted, but the shots were much easier to get.
