Boris, don't forget, more pixels per image captured, allow a better crop,
especially helpful with wildlife shots.

I'm sure Boris knows that. :-)
Do you remember when some on this list around 2005/6 asked 'why would
you ever want more than the *istD? It does everything I need and
more.' ?
The 24MP means one could throw 3/4 the image away and have *istD
resolution. With the D800, one could throw 5/6 of the image away and
have *istD resolution. Not that this should encourage sloppy shooting,
but in those instances where one can't get the desired angle or
composition by filling the viewfinder, this is pretty nice.

There are very few lenses that will actually take advantage of that kind
of photography style even with that many mp and give *ist-D quality
results, and even if the lens is up to it most people's technique isn't,
I know mine isn't.
