I been thinking about this question since it was posted as it has been at the back of my mind for a while that my D3 cameras need replacing. OK so what is the matter with the D3 and D3S that I have? Nothing except that at times I find that I would like more MPs. But I have a D600 that has 24MP and a D800 with 36MP. So what is the matter with these? Nothing! OK so what is the problem? The D3/D3S has too few MP, the D600 is great for most of my uses but occasionally it stumbles under low light with its slower AF speed. But what about the D800, well therein lies the problem. Easy answer is replace the D3 with a D800/810. Well yes but for many occasions I find 36MP to be too much, so get a D610. Yes but the D600/610 has a different set of accessories to the D3/D800/D810 in that it uses a strange USB-like conector while the D3/D810/D800 use my tried and tested 10pin connector that I have used for (decades) years! So what is in a connector...... Lots! I want a D760 or like with 24-30MP but with all the features of the D810 especially the 10pin connector and Highlight metering option, EXCEPT I want the twin SD cards of the D600/750 not some stupid hybrid card dreamed up by a user of Betamax, sorry Betamax users!

Not an easy thing to answer. I have a D800 on trial at the moment, my thinking is if I need the 36mp I've got itIf I don't I have the option of the 1.2 and 1.5 crop modes. I have a week to try it out, watch this place. I was and am still tempted with a D3 but the 12mp kind of put me off. Isn't it funny a handful of years ago we would have been quite happy with 12mp.

Thats my main concern with the D800 for any sort of people photography it's going to show all the bumps and hollows that people don't want to see.

Need to use Imagenomic Portrait Pro plugin to reduce the level of detail otherwise even the best model with the best skin looks like she has moon crater face!

Yep, I've been playing about with it tonight and have had to inspect things because it's showing marks in things I am finding hard to see by eye.
