Among my Nikons is a D800 body. I specifically wanted the higher pixel capability for architectural work and some photos I'd want to either blow up or crop significantly. But the high pixel count is a hassle for other stuff I shoot that doesn't fall in to those categories--my lap top has trouble handling multiple RAW files of that size--it slows to a crawl.
I've been thinking of changing the pixel setting to medium (about 20 megapixels) for most of what I shoot, particularly if it's low ambient light (like hummingbirds in shadow or low light). In this specific example, I'm not looking to crop significantly with those shots.
Thoughts about what sort of impact I'll see? Any advice one way or the other?
