[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 94547, member: 11653"] You are right. You can get fantastic photos with a DX (or smaller for that matter), but you got to be closer to the ideal exposure (the smaller the sensor the more right on you have to be, in general), and have pretty good conditions, something hard to do when you are in a hurry. Also, conditions matter I do lots of landscapes, puffy white clouds and lots of dark rock or forest make for the need to pull a lot of stuff out of the shadows. So the stuff I can do with my D800 is just jawdropping (to me)... I remember the C41 / Ektachrome trade offs.. I can pull 4 fstops out of the shadows without resorting to any special tricks. Nothing like the old chemical days. Life is great! JD [/QUOTE]
