Effectively the same as using the D800 in DX mode. The D800 is just slightly less MP than a D7000 in DX mode. The D7100 would cover this area with 24 mp which is greater than both. How many pixels is your cropped image. I have a D800 so I'm not trying to rubbish it, however I have given this subject a lot of thought over the last year including owning all of these cameras at some point. In reality my D800 only using the DX portion of the sensor is not that much better than my D300s. Doing the same thing with a 24mp D600 is worse than a D300. This is not a crop factor debate, it's a sensor area used one.</blockquote>
