I have a hard time reading to much rockwell these days.
Seems so far we have 1 Nikon purist for the D800. And 1 nikon purist for the 5D3.
So far im on the fence. While the 5D3 obviously does a MUCH better job with usefull ISO. The D800 however has almost twice the MP, and for as good as it does im amazed!
I feel like they have done a great job controlling noise for such a high MP. Also when looking at detail, its obvious that the extra MP is going to work by resolving more detail in both low and well lit areas, IMO.
Such a toss up.. if only Nikon would release F4 lenses with VR for under 2k. I think it still comes down to lens selection overall. Takes a real baller to play with 2.8s VR and Nikons, especially past 200mm
On a side note my D300s should be out of the repair shop today! Time to compare it directly to this new D3200 i picked up! 24 MP new kid on the block vs the 12MP Old dog from grandpa!

I have been out of the game for awhile so these shots are not all that impressive.. But I have taken a whole 10 shots or so with it and still do not have an initial assesment of the D3200.
