The picture below in post #1267 was taken with my Nikon D7000 using a Nikon 70-300VR lens. The picture in this post #1268 was taken from the same exact spot with my D600 using a Nikon 70-200VR lens. Both were shot at 70mm and F9 so you can see the difference between a crop sensor and a full frame.

Thanks for posting the comparison photos! These pictures are truly worth the thousands of words written describing the differences bewteen dx and fx. WHat I am noticing is that F9 seems sharper (less bokeh?) on the ocean in the background. Also, the skies are a different hue of blue and the cloud clatiry stands out as well. As a hobbyist still learning.....do you think the biggest reason for the differences is due more to the differences between the lenses, the sensor or the crop factor? Just curious.

Much more challenging to distinguish if a picture was taken with a FF or DX sensor especially at base ISO. I am assuming that these were taken using standard picture control? @ f9, both lenses are tack sharp except for the motion blur caused by the wind. You can probably distinguish the IQ when you shoot them wide open, static subject and with a closer view. Thanks for sharing the comparisons.

I think that the difference in the pictures is due to the fact I use single point focus and the point of focus was different in each of the pictures giving it a different exposures. I was set on aperture priority using F9 for both shots and 70mm to shoot with. The difference due to taking readings from different locations gave each a very different shutter speed. The D7000 ended up at 1250sec with ISO 400 and the D600 had a reading of 320sec. at ISO 100 I actually was not going to post the picture taken with the D600 because I missed the focus point I meant to get but then I thought members might get something out of it by using it to compare the two formats.

I see a wabbit! I think the rabbits around here are related to the deer someway because they both have white tales. LOL

Hi grandpaw!

So you noticed the white tail…

But what about the jump,
the long ears,
both vegetarians before it was en vogue,
the "licking lips" habit…

You're right, they must be related to the deer someway…

Don't worry, I'm still working on the missing antlers mystery! =)

Have a good time!

You are right on the entire list and below is the answer to the antler mystery.

Hey Glen, you're the best!

I will trust you on that… blindly.

If any fool should ever come up and ask for additional data to substantiate
this discovery, send him to me… we have a great dungeon!
