JC, it's interestng you say that because I went from a D80 to a D300s. And while the D300s is a better camera in most ways (handling, exposure accuracy), it often seems to me my older D80 shots were sharper and had more clarity. And I use a tripod 99% of the time. I have started wondering whether more pixels are really better unless making huge enlargements.
