[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 67698, member: 3903"] It's not stuiped nor stupid. There are no stupid questions. I'll try to answer your question even if it has been discussed in many many threads here and on other forums. I'm sure a google search for dx vs fx or crop sensors would teach you much. I'll try to make it simple. Let's take for example a 200mm lens you use to take a picture with an FX camera. Now let's say you print an 8x10 print from the original, have two copies made. Now take the second print and cut it to proportions but divide the surface by 1.5. So you end up with a smaller print which doesn't include everything you had in the first print. This is what you would get from a DX camera with the same lens. So if you do mostly wildlife, DX is usually considered better because you get things closer than with FX using the same lenses. What I'll do is go out and take two shots with the same lens from the same spot and will show you the difference. Same lens, same distance.
