[QUOTE="stmv, post: 122775, member: 10038"] Yes,, why limit where you want your effective DX crop to be,, I even turn off my DX mode totally, and have used a couple of my DX lens on the FX,, with circle, because as you zoom, even a dX lens will take up more of the area, getting more then a DX size frame. So, for example, I have put my sigma 10-20 and got almost the full frame when zoomed out to say 15 mm. The ability to zoom crop like this is one of the magic of the D800, and now after a year, I am really surprised that Nikon has 1. kept the lead 2. not upgraded a D4 camera to this sensor with an improved exceed processor / buffer for larger bursts.. 3. People kept wishing that the 36 Meg sensor would have some fatal flaw, but it has not, its sharp, great dynamic range, and great in low light. My only guess, is that they can only build so many, and hence the restriction to the 800/800e. which by the way, are always in stock, and down to 2800/2900 dollars!! Almost tempted to sell my 700 body and pick up the 800e.. [/QUOTE]
