No AA filter in the D800E ... nice.

Have you seen, even on this one it costs money to remove the AA-filter?
With 15MP in APS-C, this is essentially level with an D7000..You could use a single body for DX and FX testing <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />Now the critical questions:
- will it blend?
- does it clean?

Why does the version without AA cost more money?

Could be a couple of things. If sensors are normally produced with AA filter, then there are costs associated with having a batch without or actually removing it ( peeled potatos are more expensive <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> ). Could be the cost associated with the software required to fix the problems due to the lack of AA which need recovering. Could also be marketing. People are prepared to pay extra <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Because they can ask more ...
Technically there's no reason IMHO.

It's all a bit more complicated then expected:

But we'd have to start both sections from scratch <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> We'll skip the D800 as test camera.-- Markus

I am curious how many Nikon lenses can match the 36MP resoluion on D800. My impression was that many (or some?) lenses already struggled a lot on the 24MP D3x.
Another question is on the lens diffraction. For a 36MP FX, at f5.6 the diffusion circle of red light is already larger than the sensor pixel size; while for the blue light the diffusion circle starts to become larger than the pixel size from around f10.
