[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 167198, member: 12496"] I would offer a third take on FX/DX, at [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/cropfactor.html"]FX - DX Lens Crop Factor[/URL] The FX sensor is obviously simply a wider view due to a larger sensor. If standing at the same place, taking a picture of the same thing with same lens, with the same (FX) camera, switched between FX and DX modes, there can be absolutely no difference in the pixels of any 100% blowup. It is exactly the same image and sensor pixels - DX is simply cropped - and it subsequently has to be enlarged more (to print the same size print, but making it appear telephoto). So FX is simply always a wider view (wide angle, so to speak). Between different FX and DX cameras, the sensors are different, and the pixel densities can be different, which becomes a sensor issue, not a crop issue.
