You do get both with the D800 - you can set it to a couple of crops including APS; it projects grid lines inside the viewfinder for composition. 15 mp for the dx crop.

Or you could follow my lead and buy them all.

On second thought, don't follow my lead.

Projecting grid lines on VF screen doesn't magicaly make it APSC camera in terms of size and weight
Having said that I do like this function of Nikon FX bodies. I have to say Canon shot themselves in the foot with EF-S mount IMO

Ha ha, unfortunately not. Though it's not actually much bigger than my K5 was, esp. when I put the grip on it. I really don't notice the difference; but I do tend to use fast zooms and they're so big and heavy that the size of the body doesn't have much effect.
