[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 199345, member: 8705"] This is nothing to do with which is the better camera. It's a bit like asking is a truck better than a car. It depends what you're trying to achieve. As a D800 owner I'm hardly likely to go to these lengths to rubbish the product. When cropping like this (Using a very small part of the overall image), as all of the recent posts have been this test works. Those two cropped images represent 0.2mp for the D800 and 0.3mp for the 7100. In my book more pixels equals more ability to resolve detail hence the title. I specifically stated that this was not a DR, colour depth or noise test but you insisted on coming back to it. In reality a modern APSC is pretty good in all those respects and the D800 only blows them away when down sampling. The simple fact is that the hair detail is better on the 7100 image. Both images are raw and processed the same way. No matter what I did in post the resolution of the D800 would still be less when performing extreme crops. If I had filled the original frames with the final image composition the D800 would have displayed much more detail, but that is nothing to do with extreme cropping. You say that both images should contain the same content in order to compare. Both were offered the same content by use of the same lens and distance to subject. I then cropped to provide the same content. If you are unsure why the D800 shows much more of the scene in the uncropped image I suspect some fundamental knowledge is missing as that is real FX/DX basics when using the same focal length. The irony of all this is that I was just trying to help those who did not understand the pros and cons of different pixel density cameras especially between FX and DX. All I've had in most responses is people defending the honour of their D800 super cameras. I use my D800 when it's the best tool for the job and my D300s when it is. I think I'll leave the whole thing now. For those whoare able to understand it that's great and those who don't just carry on enjoying all that resolution. If anyone would like to spend the time showing how the D800 has more resolution using such a small area of the sensor I would welcome it. That's resolution folks, not DR, Noise or colour depth.
