[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 126911, member: 4399"] I would shoot first, crop later :). All you are doing is using a smaller part of the Fx sensor in crop mode. Lets say you are in crop mode and you shoot a bird flying by. If you shoot in Dx mode and the bird's wing tip is outside the cropped area in the viewfinder, you have permanently lost the wing tip. If you left it in Fx, with an Fx lens on, you capture everything you see in the viewfinder and can crop down later. Doesn't make any sense to me to reduce the field first when cropping afterwards has the same effect (unless you are using a Dx lens). You will have less noise and more dynamic range with the D600 cropped than the D90. [/QUOTE]
