You will never get images from an A580 which are as good as those from a Nikon D800e provided the Nikon has a lens which matches the cameras high resolution sensor.

The difference in quality will beome more apparent on large displays or prints. Of course the photographer & his skill in PP will make a significant contribution but the two cameras in the hands of the same user wiil produce different results.

Hi,

as you said, when printing big - almost billboard sized. But as Nord already commented, there may be some subtile advantages of the FF when it comes to higher ISO performance due to the larger pixels - and for the 800e the absence of the AA filter and the MP count, but not necessarily related to the form factor APS-C vs. FF.

When I consider though which high ISO performance has been achieved on the tiny sensor (yet) of the RX100 with its 20MP I wouldn't been surprised when the next generation of APS-C sensors provides both better high ISO performance (probably a combination od sensor and processing devellopments) and higher MP. The choice among APS-C and FF is much more a convenience factor (everything smaller and lighter) than potentials / limitation in the image capture process.
