Well, for those who don't want 36Mpx, the D800 does have a couple of in-camera cropped modes. There's a 1.2x crop that converts it into a mere 25Mpx, and gives it an extra frame per second shooting speed, or the DX-compatible 1.5x crop that cuts it down to only 15Mpx. I don't really see much point in those aside from lens compatibility and the slight speed boost, but it's good to have options.
Of course, there's a difference between pixels and resolution, and we'll have to wait and see what gives the best results with the new camera, but I'm very excited. The prospect of doing a 16x20" print at a native 300dpi – even with a little cropping – has me not sleeping properly at night.
