Hello Nikon family. I became part of your big family short time ago. I bought Nikon D800 a few days ago. I'm currently using it. But ı think ı have a problem. I feel vibration on Nikon D800 while ı take photos. I researched it and found why camera make me feel vibration. Camera vibrates because of much pixels. Do you feel same things with me? I have to take my photos that use to high shutter speeds. If ı don't do this, my photos seems little bit blurred. How can ı solve this?

You can get camera shake from any camera / lens combination.  What lens were you using with it and what shutter speed were you using when you noticed the vibrations?  How fast are you having to shoot in order to eliminate the vibrations?  Everyone is different - some can hand hold a big lens at slow shutter speeds and some can't hold a small lens at the same speed.  And I can tell you that it changes as you get older too.  I know I can't hold the camera as still as I used to.  Let us know and we will do what we can to assist!

The D800 doesn't have more problems with resonances than any other body, but the high resolution reveals them more efficiently than other bodies. What is your lens, focal length and shutter speed when you encounter these vibrations?

Thank you so much for your response TBonz and Merco! I am using Nikkor 24-70G ED. There is no VR on the lens. I am not using low shutter speed while ı take portraits. So less 200, 250, 320... I am not ameteur. So ı can tell this that ı was not getting this vibrations before. I passed Nikon D800 and started to see it on nikon D800. I am using Topaz Labs plugin on portraits and adding little bit sharpness via photoshop. And I will buy 50mm 1.4 lens a few days later. How is it? Do you like its performance on portraits?

Your shutterspeeds seem reasonable. I wonder if there is some kind of resonance initiated by the mirror raising. You could try weighing the camera down and see what happens if you raise the mass 200g or so. If that helps, I see a vertical grip in your future.

What 50/1.4 are you interested in? The Nikkor is very sharp but the backround tends to be busy. The Sigma gets rave reviews. I suppose you will use it for full-body or group portraits as it is on the short side otherwise.
