The D800 is just slightly higher than a D700.  The D800E just slightly
higher than a non E.
These cameras have the entire photo industry salivating on its shoes
tonight. I think the amount of pre orders will make news.

As to the D800E, the possibility of the moire problem is the same as

Seems to me this would be a cost savings.  I would buy one if I could

most of my money in the D700 could be captured. ;)

I would say the same for my almost new
