See if you can tell the difference in detail between the Nikon D700 and the higher resolution D600 with these macros captured with the Nikkor 105 VR. For each of the following sets of photos and their crops, comment here with which of these (left or right) you think was captured with the 24MP D600 and the 12MP D700. In a few days, I’ll post which is which.
Results: Thanks to all who took a look and tried their best to come up with the answers. Here they are:
Set 1 – D700 left
Set 2 – D600 left
Set 3 – D700 left

I won’t guess but I will be happy, because I own a D700 and I can’t tell the difference.

The colors look more faithfully rendered on the left images, so I would guess that the D600 is on the right.

Using the term “resolution” is misleading.
The correct title for this post and its related article should be:
D600 vs D700: Pixel level comparison – pixel to pixel. Which one has better quality pixels?

A tough call and I am merely taking a guess:
Set 1 : D600 left.
Set 2 & 3 : D600 right
Either way, It makes me quite happy to hold on to my D700 !

Well, it shows that the “good old D700″ is capable of taken on the challenge of the modern technology pretty well.

Haha
– Couldn’t really distinguish from the resolution, but from the color saturation, hoped D600 has a bit better color !
