I\'m not the most technical of photographers, but let me sum up my understanding of the \"issue\" with the D800 here - and someone please tell me if I\'m wrong or oversimplifying.
If I take the EXACT same photo with a D700 and a D800 with the EXACT same imperfect technique (say, a wee bit of camera shake). I know, not possible but work with me here - let\'s say it\'s a \"usable\" photo but not perfect due to the shake.
The photos will look exactly the same at normal viewing sizes. The D800 will look a lot worse at 100% pixel for pixel view is all.
So, to get the MOST out of each camera, the D800 will require better technique. But same technique, same result really on the 12mp vs the 36mp camera.
Yes?
Bingo
Well, unless you are already using good technique, then it\'s a non-issue. The only issue comes in if your current technique is flawed or needs improvement. As I mentioned earlier, I had zero issues going form a D3 to a D3x - but I\'m a tripod, cable release, mirror lockup kind of guy. You may very well find what you\'re doing now is perfect for the D800.
I think people are worrying about it too much. If you get bad photos with the D800, find ways to improve your technique, simple as that.
