As you can plainly see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D800E featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon D800E will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The younger D800E should have a benefit in sensor technology.
