I agree with the part regarding the obsessive noise peepers. But don't you think that 16.2mp for a 1.5 cropped sensor is good enough with that much resolution and DR even at higher ISOs like 800 - 1600? Apart from the FF bodies, I believe having such kind of cropped sensors in the market is a good thing.[/quote]
Didn't mean to say that it's not a good camera for a lot of people... was just commenting on how resolution should also be considered when looking at noise because they go hand-in-hand.

I don't know who doesn't adjust the raw data before it is saved to the card. According to my readings from Thom Hogan;[/quote]
IMO, Hogan is a joker... all that he and guys like that digilloyd do is publish their personal diary pages and not stuff that has much meaning to anyone else. I mean I just opened up [url="http://www.bythom.com/nikond700review.htm"]Hogan's D700 review[/url] and this is what I mean:
"I needed to do some shooting with it in the wild first ;~)."
"Nikon did me a favor"
"the more I looked at ... the more I realized that I had..."
"So I do have a few things to write about, after all"
"I don't always see in my ..."
"I really dislike someone moving my cheese, and Nikon has once again moved cheese,"
"But here's the way I see it..."
"If I were shooting sports..."
"If I were shooting all day..."
"I really don't need to repeat myself..."
"So when I say ... I mean it."
"I want a way to configure everything on the camera "
"It's a good thing I don't give marks for..."
"I think it's also time..."
"I expected..."
"I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could usually..."
"I use the words can be because you really need..."
"I clearly get..."
"The way I shoot..."
"I get around..."
"I've now got..."
"But in general I find..."
"... with more saturation than I like"
"In general, I see accurate..."
"I much prefer..."
"which is why I say limit your use of Auto"
"I suppose you want to see a photo, right? Okay, here are two photos,..."
"I use it next to the white Lego building" <-- dumb test subject alert
"I will note that my D700 is not quite..."
"I start with..."
"I said almost."
"If I really work at it, I can..."
"I find problematic."
"I can usually..."
"so I don't fear..."
"Which would I pick?"
"There are basically four scenarios in which I shoot:"
"That's all I really need."
"But I suspect that eventually" <-- can't go wrong with that now can you?
"I need..."
"...if I need it"
"I don't usually need..."
"... if I had a ..."
"I shoot wide a lot"
"... that has me smiling slightly ..."
"which is a bit low for me "
"But you're not me. You're you."
"Trust me, they're worth it."
Not sure why anyone reads his sentimental drivel for anything more than amusement, because that's what it's only valid for, sorry.
