"Oversampling technology" - I like it when manufacturers adapt terminology to sound better than what it really means. It's downsampling, not oversampling. Still, Nikon could take a page from their book to apply to the 36 MP D800 - "When 'oversampled' to the 12 MP resolution of the D700, image noise from the D800 becomes virtually invisible."

Nokia's white paper adds, "What’s more, based on Nyqvist theorem, you actually need oversampling for good performance." Nyqvist? Is their technological white paper referring to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem postulated by Harry Nyquist, or to some random musings of Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist, who was Mikael Blomkvist before Daniel Craig?
