This is my first composited image using files from the Nikon D800 and they are HUGE. The final file size for this image is around 5gigs(!) working at full resolution and in 16bit. I have to say the D800 is a great tool for capturing backdrops for this style of work. The files have amazing detail and allow great latitude for zooming, cropping, and placement. For studio work at a slow pace it works great as well but if you're firing shots at a steady rate get ready to encounter the buffer, even while tethered.
For Strobist, this was a five light set-up; boomed beauty dish in front of model from camera right, 5ft octa camera left for fill, two strip boxes roughly at 45 degree angles back of the model and a gridded strobe back left. All lights are Einsteins and triggered with PW's.
