Finally picked up a D810 on Saturday with a MB-D12 and the 24/1.4 afs lens.
Love the feel of the camera and it's nice and quiet. Reminds me of the D3s/D3 in the hand with the battery pack on.
AF seems fast and accurate and I like the Group AF. I haven't tried it on birds yet though.
Video seems much improved too.
