[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 81203, member: 9521"] I think people get way too hung up on the large pixel count and miss the truly revolutionary, or should I say "evolutionary" aspects of the D800. Above and beyond the MP count the real value of this camera is the awesome dynamic resolution, better than any existing camera on the market, the astounding IQ thanks in large part to the new EXPEED-3 chip, it's low light abilities that surpass all but the D4 and D3s, and HD video potential that you may or may not use right away but is there nevertheless. To judge this camera only on its megapixel output is to miss the forest for the trees. Granted, the D800 is not for everyone and as we all know it's not the camera that takes the photo, it's the photographer. A camera is merely a tool, kinda like a Swiss Army knife. Some knifes have more tools than others. While D800 has the most tools, if the only tool you know how to use is the saw blade, then all the other tools will just get in your way. [/QUOTE]
