This (very informal) test seems to agree with you. The only real difference I see is some moiré from the printing screen on a couple of book covers.Honestly, I do NOT see a big difference in his "examples." If you look closely, you can see the actual focus point is different in the two grabs, the D800 more rearward placing the foreground in less sharp focus. Not convinced yet, sorry.
Time will tell, right? You will soon enough be able to make your own comparisons. I'm not defending MR...... he is not my benchmark but I do have some confidence in his ability to focus properly. I cannot discern the focus point difference between the two images..... I do, though, acknowledge that one is sharper than the other.... A fluke?... time will tell.Honestly, I do NOT see a big difference in his "examples."

Maybe you could expand a little on this..... Granted there is a price difference and that is a benefit for the 800. Other than that I can't fathom what you are trying to state.... unless slightly less acuteness is beneficial for you. In my world more resolution is always importantIMHO it's gonna be a clear win for the 800 over the E. I will very soon know from personal experience!
Yes, but I suspect you'll only see it in the largest prints, and even then you'll have to look VERY closely AND have the prints side by side to see it.The E will have a sharpness advantage visible on screen and in print,
I am guessing it will be a *HUGE* deal for anybody who regularly shoots people wearing clothes, like fashion or wedding folk. But I also predict it will only be an occasional problem that is found after the fact at the most inopportune times: like the bride cutting the cake or tossing the bouquet, or in the perfectly timed shot of the perfume model jumping from the pier onto the boat as it debarks -- both will have a colorful wavy pattern streaming through their gorgeous gownsMoire is the semi-unknown here, and I am guessing it will be less of an issue than some people fear.
Ah.... its obvious that Nikon never thought this through.... they should have named the 'E' camera the 8090XYZ Thanks for all of your thoughtful input here.Doh, I typed it the wrong way round!
Very fashionable this bridal season...:ROTFL:Yes, but I suspect you'll only see it in the largest prints, and even then you'll ha -- both will have a colorful wavy pattern streaming through their gorgeous gowns
Like the canon G1X and the Panny GX1....Ah.... its obvious that Nikon never thought this through.... they should have named the 'E' camera the 8090XYZ Thanks for all of your thoughtful input here.

What I am most interested in is how close a properly sharpened D800 gets to a D800E. I'm hanging out on the sidelines for many reasons until there is more information. I never saw moire on the DMR, but I know lots of people have on the M8 and M9, but the results were sharper images with better color separation than any DSLR I have seen. 16-bit, CCD, no AA filter? I have no idea. The bottom line is the proof is in the print, I don't care about the technology.To summarize, "AA filter/capture sharpen", like, e.g., DOLBY sound, is a single processing step. Do both halves, or do neither.
