It was a ancient 12MP D300 that went not a D800. As I get older I don?t what to lug all that weight around so I didn?t wasn?t to upgrade my Nikon stuff. 16MP is enough for what I want to do regardless of sensor size so I?m mostly shooting with an Oly EM-1 these days and pulled my old micro 4/3rds lenses out of the closet to use on it. Two of them are PanaLeicas?s. Great stuff. ? though I must say a yearning for one of the Sony A7?s persists and one may end up in my hands one of these days. You have your needs, I have mine. Mustn?t confuse the two. If you need a large sensor hi-res camera, use it. I don?t.
