This is just damage limitation speak. The more pixels the greater the risk to IQ.

We all KNOW that with ANY system the optimum results will be from ....tripod mounted camera, locked up mirror, low ISO, prime lens at f8ish (depending on lens), fast shutter speed, precise metering and good light.

Its needing (or choosing) to trade off some of these criteria that determines the ultimate quality of the end result ....and our satisfaction with the product.

 

 

But you are right Robert. We are in the classic improvement situation.... spending 90% effort to extract 10% more quality.

I bet all those D1 photos are being ripped up and burnt. ;-)

Yes indeed. I think that getting a D800 will be an examination of my technique.
I better sharpen up my skills before middle of year.

Latest rumor indicates no internal AF motor but will have HD video. I would prefer to have the internal AF vs the video.

24MP figure seems to be confirmed.

Ok so no internal motor means my 80-200 2.8D won't work?

IF that is the case then true.

This may turn out to be something completely different... Look at the title, Rumour. And this is a brand new rumour, very late in the day, relatively speaking. It is thought that it MAY turn out it's actually a D400 which may be FX may be DX and will almost certainly have a focus motor.

Which for me begs the question why do Nikon fit a focus motor on the D800, because the only lenses they recommend are AFS lenses for the D800, which don't need an internal motor.

Until we have an announcement from Nikon it will remain a rumour.

Very good points.
I really do think if you are investing in a top end camera then you need to have the best glass.

Whilst my Sigma 24-60 f2.8 was very good there is a noticeable quality difference with the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 AFS.

Without doubt.

The glass makes the image, the sensor only captures it. Thing is, sensors are getting a bit good nowadays.
