Surely I do not deny the power of software improvements. And I'm not trying to compare the existing D700 with a new 36mp D800 either. I'm just saying that with the same A/D converter and software assistance, a -let's say- 20MP FX sensor in this new D800 would be better in terms of SNR. That's just physiscs... And of course the question is, do we need that additional 16mp resolution and try to deal with the huge raw files of the 36mp sensor.

Yep. More money for CF cards, more space on the computer, more time to upload if you use on-line printer and I don't know how much the speed of in-camera data processing will be affected. I don't know why Nikon will not make D800 and D800x. Just to add something: I am curios where the D300 replacement heading to.
I hope that one of the manufacturers will do what Panasonic did with the LX3, enough MP lets see how we can enjoy picture taking. If you remember Canon G had 12MP similar Nikon had 14MP see what is happening right now all 3 of them are at 10 MP cameras.
