Also, with the D800 coming out in two versions, it seems that will also take sales away from the D4. Am I missing something here?

I'm sure there will be many more samples out there by that time.I'm just wondering your thoughts on this technique as a possible moire reducer on the D800E or any other camera with no AA filter and sharpness is not critical: http://philipbloom.net/2010/08/04/an-interesting-solution-to-eliminating-moire-and-aliasing-from-your-dslr/If this is effective then it may be coupled with post processing software to minimize the moire.

So let's say you have a DSLR that has a max resolution of 6000x4000 and you set it to shoot at 3000x2000. Will your photos look any different than if you had shot at 6000x4000 and then later resized it to 3000x2000 on your computer? If so, exactly what will the difference be and why?

They look really good.If you say that the 800e camera is not for portraits I think you mean because of possible moiré in the clothing, but not in the hair i suppose? ans I am doing architecture; If you do a side by side comparison of the two d800's could you try and see if using D11 or d16 will solve any moiré problems on the d800e? thanks in advance !

Which is why I don't particularly understand the comments disregarding resampling. Unless the final output is always used at 100% or is cropped and used at 100%, things should be compared at the final output image, whatever size that might be. So you can downsample a D800, up sample a D700, downsample or upsample both to a given output whatever that might be, it doesn't matter. Compare the final image at the same size and D800 looks to perform better. If its a convenience thing, ok fair enough. Nikon should've given us 18mp and 9mp RAW modes.

Am I wrong in thinking that is impossible if you are in aperture mode? I'm new to this so if it is a stupid question, I apologize.

I am using a sony a-700 now and want to switch to Nikon.At the moment two camera's have my interest.

Thanks for the examples.

It’s looking better at high ISO than I thought.

Have a deposit on both the D4 and D800. Need to make up my mind and cancel one. Examples like this are helping me decide.
