[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 328529, member: 8705"] Jake I totally agree with you principle here and I don't even get hung up about cleaning the lenses or sensors as the errors rarely show for me. The only thing I would say is that whenever I use my 70-200 2.8 lens (my most expensive) it provides an image that stands out from the rest, be that the bokeh or the sharpness. I can pick those shots out of a line up with ease. Now that's not just a D800 thing, just a good lens on any camera. But to your post, I can't spot the difference in your images and for most practical use I agree that the resolution doesn't matter as we discard it. Personally I don't print big from my D800 so resolution doesn't matter for that, however down sampling images removes lots of noise and makes them look sharp.
