[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 146674, member: 13076"] For $2k you could get the D600, but not the D800. I'm not sure who would say that the number of pixels is too high for the sensor size (sounds like they don't know anything about CMOS sensors) when the pixel size is on par with other Nikons and the sensor has proven itself to handle noise extremely well even up to higher ISOs. In fact, this particular sensor is a marvel in terms of how well it defies conventional wisdom that with higher pixel densities/smaller pixels comes higher noise. The D800 sensor has been compared against medium format sensors and holds up very well in terms of dynamic range and holding details in the shadows. If you were to take an image in DX mode on the D800, then take an image from a D7100, the D7100 would have even higher pixel density than the D800.
