[QUOTE="downunder, post: 383814, member: 29516"] Thank you for that explanation Wayne. I now see that I was metering on two different scenes because of the Fx/Dx views and that is the explanation for the different shutter speeds. I don't know why I didn't originally see it. I will try to find one of those walls one day. :) I have to admit I am still confused as to how the D700 image (only 12 megapixels to start with) when cropped in Lighthouse to a Dx view the same size as the original D7100 image still gave a very good image. It only started with a 12 megabyte pixel count to start with compared to the 24 megabyte D7100 image and then it was cropped further to use fewer pixels and resized yet still had a comparable photo (to my eyes) to the D7100 image of the same size. That to me is comparing a 24 megapixel photo to very much less than 12 megapixel image but getting a similar result, but probably I am in the wrong part of the forum to ask that question - there is something about pixels that isn't adding up in my mind. :confused: [/QUOTE]
