D800: what's the point?

The main problem with the OPs post is the way he expressed himself. Other than that he has a point. I made a similar statement some time ago.

RESIZING ... there is a common opinion that one has to resize images to properly compare them. Nonsense. As a D800 and D300 owner I can say ... reduced to screen size at ISO 100 the images of both cams are hard to tell apart. Does this make both cams equally good ?

That said the OP is right ... if it's not for all the additional features of the D800 the D600 is definitely the more cost effective choice for many amateurs.

Seems to me that the overreaction of some members here is their injured pride. OMG ... a lesser body gives equal images compared to Nikons 36mpx dream machine. C'mon on guys ... a bit childish, isn't it ?
