This is true because post-processing adds a nonlinear degree of freedom to the (analog) noise-area trade-off The interesting question is, when do you reach an optimal noise level? That, of course, depends on the quality of the nonlinear noise reduction algorithm. Your thought may well motivate camera manufacturers to increase the pixel count in future designs.

Sometimes starbucks open across the street from each other so a competitor cannot open a store in the location.

Adrian can you tell me if there are S/M/L settings for RAW on the D800 like they have on Canons? This would help alleviate all the fear and loathing about the huge file size produced by the D800 and put a lot minds at ease…

No it’s not just you. I actually own a D800 and I misread above and thought the 5D3 was on the RIGHT. I looked at the images and thought each time the RIGHT was a better sample (less colour noise and more details). I was a bit miffed because I thought the 5Diii was better than the D800, BUT I had to be honest with myself and acknowledge the RIGHT images are better (remember I thought the 5Diii was the RIGHT image).

Then when I rechecked I saw that the D800 was the images I actually preferred. :o

This is what you call a Marketing bait, they made the D3/D4 series to sell the D700/D800 series, come to think about it when PS3 was priced up high the first year sales were less, when they lower it down, the people were flooding to buy because they thought it was a pretty deal when in fact that the lower price is the normal price for them.Japan has always have good Business Minds.For us consumers, it could look stupid, but for them it makes a perfect sense.They practically lost nothing because they are anyway making less D4 compared to D800.The big profit of the D800 will fund their invention of the D5 which will hype the coming D900, got my Point?

Only photographers who shoot in RAW are worried. We can’t scale down those file types.

dXomark tested the D4. the D3s iso performance is actually .15 stops better than that of the D4.

:) 36MP! NICE! (Be glad they didn’t match Hasselblad’s 50mp file size)If media card and hard drive space is your concern, BUY BIGGER AND MORE OF THEM TOO! Things are progressing!
YOU must progress with them to keep up.
WHich means, investing in faster computer (using ssd hard drives in raid0 configuration for speed boost, and raid 5 for onsite backup), larger storage capacity systems as well as the latest greatest gear.
:) aint all this new tech stuff fun? :) HEHEHE
