I gotta admit that if I had a choice of between 24 and 36, I'd go for 36 as long as ISO 3200 was usable. As I understand it ISO 6400 is going to be usable, so why not?[/quote]
I suppose the 36 MP FX D800 will have similar performance to the 16 MP DX D7000/D5100 since they have the same pixel density.
Will Canon release a 46 MP 5D3 since it'll have the same pixel density as the 18 MP 7D/60D/600D? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Since the D7000 has nearly 14 stops of dynamic range, one can expect the same from the D800. This is nearly two stops better than the 12 MP D300s. On the other hand, the ancient 12 MP 5D has much worse performance than the 21 MP 5D2. So, I won't worry too much about the image quality from these new high pixel density cameras: they should be able to achieve better performance than their low pixel density counterparts.
