I see it the same way as Ming Thein in his review of the D600, where he wrote:
\"Over the last few months, I’ve received no end of emails from prospective upgraders asking if the D800 was the camera for them; my answer is a resounding no. If you need the level of image quality this camera can deliver, you’ll know it, and you won’t need to ask me. If you don’t, and you buy it, you might be surprised that it doesn’t quite deliver the same pixel-level crispness as the D700 or D3\"
Careful not to take things out of context. Ming Thein\'s point was not that the D800 are softer at the pixel level than the D700/D3, but that it is much harder to make the most the camera, due to the high resolution. With sufficient care, the D800 delivers files which are noticeably sharper than the D700/D3 at the pixel level. I own both D3 (probably my favourite camera ever) and the D800, btw.
I have never thought that he meant that the D800 are softer at the pixel level than the D700/D3,
He wrote very clear:
\"pixel-level crispness\" and that is what I quote, so........yes you have to be careful not to take things out of context = Agree very much.
And then we can argue a lot about crispness or clarity - there is a thread about that on NIkon Cafe.
I tryed an interpretation, and it is only an interpretation = D3/700 has the biggest pixels in the DSLR.s history, and then Thom Hogan has another point, so perhaps this is the \"thing\" together ?
But of course the lens matters a lot for this also, and you can see from the pictures from MingThein (the link is above) what this lens can do, and I have it myself, and I have shot with all the goodies from Nikon.
And again: For me it is the final print, that matters, and as the review (photograpjyblog)shows, you can not say, when printing, that this camera here has so many pixels as the \"true\" high reslution cameras, like D800, but our fellow brough that into this discussion.
