Yes, there is much difference. You didn't ask which is better but some people insist on answering the unasked so they can pontificate. There is lots of guidance here on where to find details about the differences. I have a D800E and a D750. I use them both. The D800 takes higher resolution images but has limitations when flexibility and speed are important. The D750 is more versatile and faster to shoot with. My D800E is almost always used on a tripod, the D750 hardly ever.
Beautiful work McVee on the Birds in your Flickr Account with the Nikon D800E. And the D700 did a great job on the Landscapes.

Thanks Craig. Please note that only two pictures, of puffins, were taken with the D800E after I got the D750. The puffin shots were taken with the camera on a tripod. Older bird shots taken with the D800E were taken with considerable difficulty due to the heavy lens I was using (Nikon 300mm f2.8) and the need for a tripod. I have found that the D800E is much more sensitive to camera shake because of the high resolution. Once I got the D750 I pretty much stopped using the D800E to take shots of birds except when using a 2x tele and a tripod. At long range the higher pixel count permits greater cropping while still maintaining image quality.

Actually, I would think that a good crop camera like the D7200 that has 24 mp would be the best camera for birds. Why? Because of the narrower field of view. With a full frame, you get a lot of extraneous material besides the bird. Take a 300mm lens and you get a field of view of 450mm.
Note: If the D7200 were a full frame camera, it would be 55mp.

That's why my telephotos stay on my D5300 and wide angles on the D800. Put another way the D750/6xx have about 10 MP on the DX area compared to 24.

Please read it again, thank you.
The D800 will out preform the D750 in every category.
It is apparent you have opinions but out of respect what experience do you have with the Full Frame Nikons???

I always find it interesting when someone can make such a definitive comment when they in fact appear just as uninformed. For the type of photography I take, the D800 is of little use to me. "Out of respect" what experience do you have with other genres of photography other than astro and landscape. For sport and some other types of photography, the D750 will blow the doors off the D800.
Both cameras are extremely competent tools for their intended uses. To say one is better than the other in every way is very narrow minded and uninformed.
To the original poster; look at what type of images you enjoy taking and how you use those images. There is enough information from previous posters to this one for you to make an informed decision. Without knowing that information, anyone who says one camera is better than the other is likely not the type of person you want to take advice from.
Both cameras are excellent for many things and each one has certain properties that will give them an edge for certain types of images. It is like comparing a car and a semi. Both will get you there but it just depends what you want to do along the way and how you want to do it.

Yes, in today's world of photo-imageing , cameras, lenses, tripods to name just a few, have become very, very application specific ! !
