[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 235324, member: 8705"] Dave, Rick, you are both correct that in a purist world the FX would have some advantages for landscape, albeit things like depth of field is not one of them. A pro would almost certainly go FX or medium format as the difference probably equals $$$. My point was that if you put equivalent lenses on the cameras you can take a similar scene. The lenses I referenced would be regarded as the FX/DX equivalents. The Tokina is a stunning lens however you look at it and the 14-24 doesn't easily take filters making long exposures tricky or very expensive. I was also making the point in the context of the person upgrading from an entry level body. I went FX a year ago and it is over twice as expensive for bodies and lenses, plus it's twice the weight or it certainly feels like it. I now use a D800 and my wife uses a D7100. If both are used correctly with equivalent lenses the results for most peoples uses will be similar. The D800 gives better DR for correcting me not using it correctly or for challenging scenes.
