Re: Fat Pixel Nikons Definition
Here are a few more of my D700 shots. I love shooting with macro lenses. The first one with the 105mm Micro-Nikkor and the next two with the Zeiss 100mm Makro-Planar. The photos were taken at different times/days, but in the same year and general location.

I've always felt that cameras like the D700 and Canon 5D with pixel sizes very close to that magic 9 micron size were close enough to qualify as fat pixels.Love the quality of those images, Jorgen.
The D700 somehow escaped me because I could not afford it and it was a time when photography was impossible. At least I can enjoy going back over the reviews and billions of images made with a D700 and the other related cameras.
The pixel size is 8.45 microns. Hmmm. The accepted definition of a Fat Pixel Digital Back onvthe MF forum is 9 microns.
So let's start right there. 9 microns (effective).
Or should we be more exact and use 8.45?
Either way, it would be nice to compile a list of all the Nikon digital cameras with a pixel size of 9 microns (or 8.45) and greater. Anyone looking for a quiet weekend project?
