[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 167164, member: 9240"] I could have shot something like that a month ago, but with the IR conversion on my D7000 it wouldn't be valid. I think where you really see differences in the formats are at the extremes. In native ISO and bright light you're probably not going to see significant differences. Start bumping ISO or do some significant cropping and that's where I see the real differences. We make a lot of noise about pixel density, but pixel size is equally important. You have similar numbers of MP's on the D600 and the D7100, but the D600's receptors are significantly larger, allowing much more light information to be captured (all other things being equal). This information is accessible in post-processing and will allow you to do much more with an image while retaining high IQ. Mansurov has some great pieces on sensors. Here are a couple that really helped me understand the differences.
