It's like you tasted some really fine wine. Afterwords, lesser quality wine you may have enjoyed before just doesn't do it for you. Sure, it's wine and no doubt good quality but once you have taste really fine wine it's hard to go back.
That is pretty much spot on! I'm not trying to knock off other cameras but after using the D800E for a year, there is something different or distinct about the images that I get when viewing the original RAW or JPG files on my monitor. However, it is not your typical all around camera. It does have its own weaknesses which is speed (fps) and some might find the file sizes too large.
