That seems to follow a similar rationale that drove me to a D800. I didnt want to have the pain of removing moire if it was seen as I remember there were a few instance in the D1/D1X days of trying to remove moire in Photoshop and it proved to be very difficult without making the image look false.

To misquote Neil Sedaka... "The moire I see you...... the moire I (dont) want you"

Sorryy ... been travelling with limited wlan access. I've done some side by side tests of the 800 and 800E. In most normal conditions (i.e. printing up to A2 size, no massive cropping9 there is not much to chose. Both give files that are hard drive eaters. I have had no issues with Moire with either body. The 800E might be the choice for landscape (which I don't do - and is for me the choice for macro where I need to crop). The 800 is significantly easier to use and is more forgiving. With the 800E you have to really think as if you are using an MF body - BUT an MF body that you can use at higher ISO. For me the 800E is just about worth it ... I am not sure about birding - i need to borrow JKs 400 2.8, but for most purposes the D800 is good. Comparison with the D3X is a bit depressing. Handling of the D3X is better (I don't like add on drives for the 800E). Up to ISO 800 there is not much to chose. The D3X is a little more forgiving but you cannot crop so hard. So I would get whatever is available Ed

Well DxO have just published their tests on the D800E. http://nikonrumors.com/2012/06/21/there-is-a-new-dxomark-king-nikon-d800e.aspx/ I'm not sure I understand the DxO ratings and tests but for what it is worth the D800E is one point ahead of the D800.

Oh, well, the numbers look impressive so I am sure folks will run out right away and lay down hugh amounts of money to get one that is one point over the other.
