[QUOTE="STM, post: 127261, member: 12827"] You hit the nail on the head. Everyone is wowed by the prospect of 36MP resolution. But if you are going to print at most 11 x 14 or to the web, 80% of that resolution will be wasted, along with a pretty substantial amount of money. I use a D700 with a[I] paltry [/I]12MP. But it prints quite well out to 16 x 20. From the normal distance you would view a 20 x 30, it does quite well even there. If you want your camera to also be a video camera, well then forget the D700 because it does not have video. DX cameras are still very popular, but with Canon and Nikon coming out with more FX cameras, I see DX starting to go away over the next several years with the exception of perhaps a base consumer level model. If you want to do sports, then having a camera which is capable of higher frame rates is definitely something you should look into. If you are looking for something to shoot people, landscape, nature and family stuff, who needs 8 fps? [/QUOTE]
