14 stops of DR along with super clean shadows free of banding noise? not surprised. But then again did we expect anything different? Nikon/Sony have been leading on sensors for quite some time. I'm interested to see if the 6D made any headways in resolving the lag dynamic range and shadow noise that has plagued the 5DmkIII and 1DX.
another amazing sensor from the Nikon/Sony devil's pact
if you do any of those things, the D600 is good, but the D800 blows it out of the water. What became redundant was the D3X.
plus if you've kept with Lloyd Chambers, you'd know the benefits of 36MP on image quality go beyond mere crops. Because you're sampling at such high resolutions, the effects of the bayer pattern are reduced leading to better image quality at equivalent 24MP resolutions.
so the D800 is far from a niche. it is a revolution. don't worry, canon will eventually do it too.

seeing the 6D AF system...I'm not sure I'd be saying that.Tammy said:If only the Nikons could focus.
you don't have to absolutely have 36MP to purchase. you just have to want the best image quality of any full frame camera geared towards landscape/studio/portrait to make you buy itInterestingly, looking at their use case scores, it makes a compelling case that the D800 is now a very niche camera for Nikon. Only those that absolutely have to have 36mp would buy it, since it seems that the D600 does everything the D800 does, and in some cases, a little better (high ISO). I wonder if that cuts into Nikon's bottom line at all...
