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.

My D7000 has smaler pixel size than D800 and is doing a great job within ISO 100-3200 and f-stops from 1,4 to 11 and even to 16 or 22 (rarely used, only with macro). Few times I printed up to 75/50cm and were no such side-effects.
