This guest post was sent to me by reader and addresses some of the D800 criticisms from various websites: Since the D800 has been introduced I have heard many individuals on podcasts and read where many blog writers were critical of Nikon for packing so many pixels on such a small sensor.

Nikon published a new behind the scenes Q&A session with some of the engineers/designers who worked on the Nikon D800/D800E cameras. Some quotes:

I have not seen the original post and I don’t know all the details, but I assume those are 100% crops. You will have to ignore the fact that all D700 samples are blurry […]
If you were ever wondering what is the cost of the Nikon D800/D800E cameras to a dealer in the US, this price list will show you that the D800 costs $2,699.96 and the D800E costs $2,969.96.
