If you do not see the difference, might as well stay with what you got.

The drawbacks of the D800 are its need for strict user technique and good glass.

The Advantages of the D800 are better detail, resolution, ability to crop in, and ability to print much larger.

Just depends on what your needs/wants are, if its for you.
If all we had were Kodak Brownies, I would still be a happy shooter.

A Kodak Brownie can take great shots.
