Nikon D800's Impressive Resolution




Photographer and photo book author Darrell Young is quite impressed with the resolution of the D800. "I cannot express to you how overwhelmed I am by the resolution of this D800. All cameras I have ever used in the past absolutely pale into insignificance", he says.

Young shot the above photo of a cemetery. Check out the 100% view - you can read the names on the headstones. Quite impressive indeed!
