[QUOTE="nickt, post: 153562, member: 4923"] Any time you crop, you are losing mp's. It looks like you may get away away with a lesser crop so it might not drop to a 10mp image. Also with some cropping you introduce some unknown crop factor and if you print at 4x6 you will have some unknown 'apparent focal length'. I'm sure it could be calculated.
