D800 is rumored to be 3x the megapixels of its predecessor.

Oct 26, 2011

The images below show the effect of cramping 1.5x the megapixels on a sensor with similar technologies. Imagine what effect going 3x the MP would do to the image quality and ISO performance. Do you really think you need 36MP after looking at this comparison?

PLEASE NIKON KEEP THE D800 AT 18MP AND THE D400 AT 16MP!!!
