Found this article that shows a 25% increase of picture sharpness with the D800E over the D800 http://www.dredeman.com/ click on the Photographer link when there. :shock:

I have both and that article means nothing. At extremes I feel there is no more that 5% increased sharpness with the D800E over the D800. And in the best of light the increase is hardly noticeable.

Ok thanks, I was holding out for another full frame camera (either the D4 or D600 "preferably the D4 if my wife doesn't kill me first"). It just seemed that the D800E would be the next best fit.

Here is a good independent scoring of sensor scores for comparison.

Thanks much MI and to all. I do have FX lenses. Not sure if extra cost for E is for me--sounds like 800 is very close to the E. I'll continue to ponder the expenses.
