[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 125564, member: 13076"] Certainly for the sake of enlargement, the extra resolution is useful, but even if you don't see that resolution in smaller image sizes, there's something about the images from the D800 that are, at least to me, the closest thing to what we really see. For the past few years I've always been able to tell a digital photo from a film photo because of the unsightly patterns of noise or NR. Now for the first time, with these amazing images from the D800, I can't tell. That makes photography exciting again for me, because it is no longer a digital image that is an approximation of reality....it really shows reality. And for an amateur like me to be able to gain access to MF-level resolution (check out that Leica S vs D800e comparison), it is an amazing time to be in photography. Of course now the lenses have to catch up to the sensors because the images are no longer "sensor-limited" but diffraction limited. [/QUOTE]
