RESIZING ... there is a common opinion that one has to resize images to properly compare them. Nonsense.

It's not nonsense at all. You don't print different to sizes to compare them so why view them on screen at different sizes?

Would you compare a 20x16 print from a 5x4 camera with a 6x4 from a 35mm camera? It's exactly the same degree of enlargement as each other, just as you advocate.

I think you should not buy the D800. And not the D70. And not D2X.

The D800 can give you money compared to D800E. Nothing else. Less aliasing in rare cases maybe.
