[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 167216, member: 12496"] Which was pretty much exactly my point. The differences in D7000 and D7100 are not because of DX, they are because of sensor, which is NOT related to sensor size being cropped. You cannot compare say D700 and D800 and attribute it to FX, any more than any other two cameras. I have a D800. Recently on a long vacation, I managed to get about 1500 RAW images on one 32GB card. I did that by shooting DX mode all I could (nothing critical about these pictures). However, without giving it much thought, I carried only a 24-120 lens, and discovered the only difference I saw (and it was extremely obvious), is that 24mm offers absolutely zero wide angle on DX. DX crop is more telephoto, FX is more wide angle. This is crop. The rest is sensor variations. EDIT: FWIW, I am just saying this: DxO scores: (assumed significant here) D300 DX 67 (old) D700 FX 80 (old) Old arguments apply, about large pixels. D3200 DX 81 (new) D7100 DX 83 (new) D5200 DX 84 (new) Old arguments weaken (equal or more than D700) D4 FX 89 D600 FX 94 D800 FX 95 I do wonder what D800 could do if 24 megapixels? (but D600 is. There seems a little more to it). And the D800 is great, but we cannot claim FX superiority for the D3200, D5200, D7100. Sensors are improving. Times seem to be changing, somewhat. [/QUOTE]
