I am not positive, but I don't believe you can downsize RAW images, only JPG.Why wouldn't one just down size the files in the menu?.....
Right?
But later (page 88): "...the option selected for image size does not affect the size of NEF (RAW) images. ... NEF (RAW) images have the dimensions given for large (L-size) images..."According to the D800 manual, page 80, there are 4 crop modes available: FX (36MP), 1.2x(25MP), 1.5x(16MP) and 5:4(30MP). Of course, these aren't compressed versions of the full frame, they are portions of the sensor. Not the same as full frame with a lower pixel density, but possibly suitable for some.

Of course, I often end up going through PS which results in a 200 MB file. So I'm kinda used to big. Of course, that means memory and whatnot, but that's expected.
Also: The ratio of 24Mp/36Mp is 2/3, so it's not like you're going to see an amazing reduction in size. I think if you want detail but a (much) smaller filesize you should get a used D3/D3s.
