This is tough, I probably would have no problem shooting everything for the rest of my life with a D7000, it's that good, but..... Once you've seen files from the D800 you're simply toast! Winner D800. Thanks a million!!! This is tough, I probably would have no problem shooting everything for the rest of my life with a D7000, it’s that good, but…..

I just want to add that the colored pencils image was taken using a sturdy tripod and ballhead, a remote cable release, mirror up, and manual focus mode with live view focusing. There's a fair amount of effort necessary to create a tack sharp image using the D800; more than you might be used to putting forth when shooting with a different camera, such as the D700. However, the higher resolution of the D800 provides more options, such as larger print sizes or the ability to crop more heavily, than the D700 allows. Thanks for the kind words, Bill!
