I have now had time to look at some of the movie footage taken on this trip. (I did not have my Sony Camcorder with me as this was a holiday and not a railway filming trip!)
The sharpness of the moving images is of a very high standard but some shots were lost with auto focus letting go, this only seems to happen with live view and shooting movie. Auto focus with the D800 can not be faulted when shooting stills. When shooting I did find hands holding a DSLR and looking at the LCD with a loupe was not easy and the resulting footage was not as stable as I would get with my Sony NX5 Camcorder that has a good steady-cam built in and is designed for shooting movie.

I would not use any of my USA movie images in one of my professional productions the main reason was on this trip I did not have a movie tripod and pro sound mike with me. Any wind hits the built in mike taking out all sound.
