Mark believes that with the advent of the Sony RX1, there's a paradigm shift.

I suspect the sensor manufacturers are just laying out their goods as when 
they see fit. Think Intel. 

Also sensors must be compared against others of the same manufacturing date, 
not whether they are cropped or full frame. For the 2007/8 D700 sensor 
shouldn't be compared against the 2012 Fuji X sensor. The Fuji readily beats 
the Nikon even in low light. That's why I sold my D700 which was only 6 
months old with under 4000 activations.

The D800 is a game changer for many (paradigm shift?). Just check eBay 
today. Many pros are selling off their older MF digitals. And a pro photog 
couple admitting on YouTube that they use their Hassy in order to 
differentiate themselves from their clients who own pro Nikon and Canon gear.

Your shots should be sold to your national tourism board...
