Nikon D800, 36 Megapixels and Blur

[HDNitehawk]

Since the 5D II is the first full frame digital camera I have owned, I wouldn’t know if this topic has come up before in this way, decreased DOF and more Blur. But it seems to me that when the 5D went from a 12.8mp to a 5D II 21mp it would have been a topic of conversation. Especially if David’s description is accurate in what happens.

Yep...it does seem that they are very paranoid about pixel peepers looking at a 36 MP image. And I am sure it is warranted. I've read comments about noise and different cameras not being sharp, etc and you look into it, someone is looking at an image at 100%...But, if that is what they meant by the statement, I wish they would have make it clear by saying "less depth of field when viewed at 100%"...or something simliar.

Brant maybe they should have said it like this:

“The D800 is very sharp compared to the old low mp cameras Nikon has made in the past, as a past Nikon user one will now have to practice focus techniques as the new D800 is actually able to produce sharp images with a defined dof. Since one was not able to achieve this level of sharpness in the past it will be an entirely new experience, having images that the bokeh is actually discernable from the in focus areas”

Ok it’s a Nikon flame, I am still waiting on Canon’s response to this new 36mp camera
