Would someone please explain to me why one would select one model of the D800 over the other. Please keep it in layman's terms
If one model or the other is best suited for a particular type of photograph. Is each model a well rounded body, or more specialized?
The D800 is the 'Normal' body.
The D800E has had the anti-aliasing filter omitted (not fitted).

It means that the images may potentially be sharper but at the cost of moir© patterns in some images which have repeated stripe patterns in them.

Yer pays yer money and take the chance.
Moir© is difficult to remove in post processing.
The D200 is said to have too strong an anti-aliasing filter therefor produces less sharp images than it is capable of. I have removed it from one of my D1x's but I haven't noticed the difference.
