The D800, a case for the higher resolution

The D800 is as close to an all purpose camera as there has been, IMO. It can play at being an MF camera, and get results comparable and in some ways better than any MF camera. It can shoot along at 25MP, 5FPS which is none too shabby (same as D700 without grip, but twice the resolution). It has top end AF. It is in a form factor not too large and heavy to be a big nuisance. It can work as a 15MP DX camera at a pinch. Don't think there has ever been a better swiss army knife than that.
