[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 590136, member: 753"] One needs to look at the use, is it for large format print or is it for the web, how much is needed for the web and everything else may be overkill, I shoot the bodies I use more for the life expectancy and reliability, super resolution is sometimes a waste, how many thousand images do you guys take in a week and does that really need the highest resolution possible? Why do the manufacturers have built in capabilities to use lower settings when the highest is not needed or not required. I shoot thousands of images a week, have already worn out one D810, my D800 is a trusty backup and probably have have over 100K on my latest D810. I was always happy with the image quality of my D700's, so 12 bit lossless compressed is fine for my work. Pixel peepers and folks not shooting in the real world need to examine what is really required. Folks that think their images are better at the highest resolution are foolish to think that higher is always superior, it's more to do with what is required for the job and achieving the desired (customer) results, poor technique will never be aided by higher performance cameras, quite the opposite, poor technique is often amplified.
