[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 198551, member: 9240"] Geoff is spot-on regarding the D800's pixel count. I know, I did extreme amounts of math when the D7100 came out and I was considering it to replace my D7000 as my "wildlife camera". While the pixel count math gave the D7100 the edge I wound up going with the D800 because of the fps vs. buffer size math was just too unfavorable for the way I shoot birds in flight. Just remember, pixel count is only part of the equation when it comes to cropping. The rest has to do with the quality of the sensor with all those pixels. No doubt the D7100 has a fine sensor, and likely produces results that hold their own with the D800 for subjects like these, and if that's you needed it would win that contest. But I love having all those pixels on an FX when my subject fills the frame as well ... though my hard drive might complain. LOL [/QUOTE]
