Yet!I think it can compete with other 30-40MP solutions on detail assuming the best glass, but where it falls down is tonality and color rendition; it cannot match that skin-tone hue range or the smoothness of rendering it.
Or the screws in your Mola Euro.Cause we all want to see how much hair we have on our noses?
Love the haunting facial expression.I just stumbled into this thread and i'll let an image speak instead of my words... the day a D800 or a 5DMKIII can do this level of detail, then i will switch:
Interesting but not quite relevant, I would say. Mainframe and cluster computing performance is all about the numbers. Performance and revenue/time has a direct relationship for those requiring the highest performance. Faster, bigger is better, it's as simple as that.Years ago, I was in the mainframe computer business (on the engineering side)
The argument was at the time, that as individual one chip cpus got faster and faster, then the mainframe would surely die.
Well it didn't actually, although its architecture came close to it, but today we see vast arrays of machines acting to provide the performance that the highest-end of the market demands.
Granted, as the dslr gets better and better, then perhaps the number of highest-end users may decrease, on the other hand, it may simply whet the appetites of those who want the best that can be had.
Time will tell, and for those who may need some of the aspects of a dslr for some jobs, I am sure that they may cross-over for those suitable purposes to cameras such as the D800. But the highest-end? Those that strive to differentiate their work by quality will surely seek what they think are the best tools for the purpose.

Thanks for posting this - I really was starting to feel that my H3D31 was redundant and that only those with an IQ180 would survive!I just stumbled into this thread and i'll let an image speak instead of my words... the day a D800 or a 5DMKIII can do this level of detail, then i will switch:
Frankly, I think Guy's picture of the boy with the color checker shows as much or more detail in the face, skin (including freckles), facial and eyebrow hair etc than this MFDB example does. Check it out in the "D800 at first blush" thread in the Nikon sub-forum.I just stumbled into this thread and i'll let an image speak instead of my words... the day a D800 or a 5DMKIII can do this level of detail, then i will switch:
My first impression (compared to symbolphoto's portrait above) is that specular highlights are not handled as well. But as you point out, this is harsh sunlight rather than controlled lighting, so you get specular reflections that are many stops above the rest of the image. A studio-lit portrait would be interesting to see.Given it is harsh morning sun NOT airbrushed its pretty good.
