What is the general consensus on how detailed a Sprite command can be? I know Sprite tasks aren't spent until the Technomancer changes the command, but does having conditional modifiers like "if" or "if/else" statements or specific details to objectives count as multiple Tasks? Can stuff like that count as a single Task until you give it other conditions, or would any change in activity count as a spent Task? Also, does a single task limit the sprite to use of a single Complex Form or Power, or can they use as many as they need to continue performing a task?


Question: Noise comparison for sensors the D800 vs the D600
Answer: Considering how close the noise performance of those two cameras are to each other, I would think the very significant difference in resolution would be a more important consideration for any serious landscape photographer.

Deciding between the D600 and D800 based on noise performance at low ISO is like comparing two sports cars based on their braking performance:


The 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon edition stops from 60 mph in 93 feet and can accelerate to 123.6 mph over one-quarter mile in 11.6 seconds
The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 needs 94 feet to stop from 60 mph, but needs 12.2 seconds to accelerate to 116.7 mph over one-quarter mile.


At 123.6 mph, the Corvette can travel an additional 108.8 feet in the extra 0.6 seconds it takes the Porsche to reach one-quarter mile. Which is more significant? One foot of difference in braking performance or 109 feet of difference in acceleration?

Just like the two cars in the illustration above, both the D800 and D600 are high performance machines. They are both capable of taking very good landscape photos when used to their full potential. This includes both being in the right hands and having the right glass attached to them. If you are concerned over a 0.2 stop difference in noise performance at ISO 100, then surely you would see the much greater benefit of a high performing prime lens such as the Zeiss T 25mm f/2 ZE or the Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED over the Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED you mention in a comment to another answer.
