I'd probably pick the D800, but the D800E sure is a tempting option RobGalbraith has some nice comparisons showing the increased sharpness and moir© issues here http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-11676-12555

I did this assessment when the details of the D800, D800E and D4 were out. I came to the same conclusions as you regarding this. I cant see the point of the extra hassle surrounding the use of the D800E. I guess some product photographers will actually benefit but I think it will cause me more problems than give advantage.

I won't be getting either camera but from my own perspective I found the D800e photos to be sharper, more defined and the color better. Now keep in mind I am color blind so you and I aren't seeing the same thing

To me the 800E starts to look like it has sharpening artefacts. (the motorbike number plate in particular) although I know it isnt. Just starts to look too harsh. I wonder how much unsharp mask you need to apply to the 800 to get to the same effect? Not sure I would want to do any digital sharpening of the 800E image. If I am correct in that observation, I think I would go with the 800 and sharpen to taste.

Oversharpening is visible on a lot of magazine images as people tend to oversharpen.

D800 is quite sharp enough for me and as stated while I was away my D3X has been sold. The D800 is far sharper more fine detail than the D3X so progress over last 3 years shows. Auto focus also quicker and low noise at high ISO is better, now back in UK will do more tests on high ISO and report back results. I am unable at present able to comment on the D800E as I have seen no pixs as internet not been very fast while in USA and no time to look!

Gary not too sharp, but oversharpened.  I'm sure that Eric's examples will demonstrate the point very well.
