Then why did you comment.
Look, locomacdaddy is absolutely correct in saying that to take full advantage of the D800\'s increased resolution to make larger prints, more care will be required. I just don\'t agree with his premise that the D800 will be used only in such a manner. Most importantly, if one is not going to make larger prints, then the reality is that techniques will not need to change.
Nikon is not marketing this camera solely to people that make large prints.
The D800 is going to be a mainstream camera used by all kinds of photographers. It\'s the only full frame Nikon DSLR at a price tag the average Nikon enthusiast photographer can stomach.
I would be willing to bet that 3 years down the road, most D800 owners are not making large prints. D800 owners will, for the most part, be using the D800 like they would a D700. There will be a group of landscape photographers that will be using the D800 as locomacdaddy envisions. It just will be a much smaller group than he thinks.
