[QUOTE="ShaggyRS6, post: 337466, member: 27973"] A further update. I had the original chap that asked the questions come back and ask a few more. Again, these are my opinions only. See below: [B]HIM [/B] [COLOR=#008000][FONT=Arial][I]Thanks for taking the time to reply. I would think the D800 would be more forgiving at the pixel level since the pixels are larger on the D800.
