Also minor camera shake during the high speed scan of the sensor will cause blur so that the old rule of 1/mm of the lens for minimum shutter speed is no longer valid, might be with VR on.
can't quite get my head round this statement ,surely this would also apply the to the d7100 ,the only time it comes into effect that i have so far found is in allowing to take into account a higher apparent focal length in 1.6 crop factor mode
????
It WAS a fact that the higher the pixel density, the more precise your technique needed to be ....especially relating to handheld shutter speeds. I had to increase shutter speed on the D2X by at least a stop to match the D1X performance.
Whether this 'small pixel' impact still applies, is the question.
Nikon must have done something to improve small pixel performance because ALL their new releases have pixel densities greater than the D2X.
But with this improvement does the observation...."the less packed the pixels, the better" ...still apply?
If so, you would expect the D4 to yield better IQ than a D800 on the same settings ....when hand held.
And hence my original post ....asking if the D600 with its less packed pixels was any better than the denser D7000/7100/5200 models.
