Maybe I am being a bit blinkered but I don't see the application for a sampled down image of the one the camera captured...however it's achieved. High pixel density sensors need greater care in technique...as we all found over the years at the several stages of Nikon camera development. If it's capturing at 45mp it will still need best practise.o.O


It is all about the workflow and storage.
There are many professionals who say that 20MP is enough for most/all jobs. I tend to agree but occasionally my D800 is not detailed enough. This is very occasionally and would centre around product shots or landscapes or commercial work where my customer wants a huge print.

This is out of the ordinary request but 46/50/100MP can satisfy this.
I have found that occasionally 36MP is not enough.

Also like I say the MP delivery is incidental as I want a standard set of accessories that use the same 10pin interface and the same battery technology and charger.
One thing we should not forget is that Nikon make exceedingly good suport electronics. The EXPEED chipset is what differentiates Nikon images from other who use Sony sensors.
