[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 210734, member: 9753"] I am just wondering and I know I am guilty of this, but how many are thinking, Hmmmmm I have enough megapixels I shall just crop to suit? This to me is digital zooming and yes I know it has its merits in some cases but how many of us are "guilty" of cropping due to convenience and not bothering walking a few extra metres.? I guess its like the old 50mm prime, it makes you work for a shot, but if you can get an ok shot at 200mm and crop in to 400mm then why waste time stalking etc. For me I will tell you why, even though you will get a satisfactory web post card print in most case, the sharpness will not be desired or will the quality of larger prints. Also limiting the number of available editable pixels increases the over all noise in an image regardless of original megapixel. I have been trying to not crop my shots, this is hard as its part of my processing, and I am guessing alot of others do it for convenience aswell. Lets make a pact, let us show case our photos with no cropping at all. What will this achieve? I think I for one will benefit from it and gain patience and understanding from this.
