Yes the D800 has better resolution than the 5D3

Mar 30, 2012

D800 has 36 megapixels. The 5D3 has 22 megapixels. Of course there's more resolution for the D800.

The problem is, in every side-by-side comparison of the two photos, I have not been able to tell the difference between them!

Rarely I can tell a small small difference, but it's so small that I have to really concentrate and someone has to point it out to me. It's SUCH as small difference that I just find it silly that people care about it so much.

People say that 4fps to 6fps is a minor difference. I agree. But 22megapixels to 36 megapixels is an even SMALLER difference. It's barely noticeable.

If you disagree with me, supply a side by side comparison where the difference is NOTICEABLE. If I have to squint... it's just not a very big difference.
