[QUOTE="Clint, post: 484836, member: 40418"] Currently I have a D7000. I had taken a friends d7200 and the `D7000 out and tested them on long exposures/star trails. It was immediately evident that the d7100 could resolve more detail and therefore capture more stars than the D7000. This went against everything i had read on other sites regarding the pixel size and night time photography. Supposedly the larger pixel should capture more light yet the D7100 outperformed it hands down. Now currently I want to upgrade the D7000. I was considering the D7100 and maybe the D810. To be honest the D810 is a monster in terms of size and weight, so taking it on holidays would be difficult. Question is, with the D810 having been design for astronomy photography, have they put "image detail" above noise? I have not yet seen any samples of a 36mp vs 24mp vs 16mp for use in astronomy so I cannot compare noise. I have no doubts what so ever that the D810 will create astounding detail but how much better will the images be compared to D7200 24mp? is it enough to justify the price difference? [/QUOTE]
