If you prefer to compose scenes, no. If you can wait or return, no. If you plan your images, no.
But if you want speed to capture moments, get the D800e with a bunch of zoom, t&s and prime lenses.
I am using a Fuji GW 690 III, a GSW 690 III and a Plaubel 69w proshift - all with 6x9 slide film. If I want to achieve the same quality as with my Arca Swiss, set up time is almost identical, because all of them require to open a case/bag, setting up the tripod, leveling with a gear head and metering the scene with an external light meter.
If I need a fast camera to capture fast moving or changing situations, I use my Nikon F4s or my Contax G2 system.
Somehow and somewhere we all miss opportunities. The early train, the best girl, the fastest car, the best vacation... that's life!
Oh, just pops into my mind: If you never want to miss a chance, use an iPhone and join flickr & co.
