[QUOTE="Silven, post: 198771, member: 16423"] I wasn't upset at all, not in the least. I was however engaged and very curious as to your reasoning. So I did some re-search and then I did some more. I'm still not "getting" your reasoning for saying that if I crop the the D800/E image to DX size,(ie, 1.5 crop) that the D7000 or D7100 would have as good or better IQ. The D800/E has a sensor that is 2.35 times larger. It surpasses the D7100 in every test from ISO to Dynamic range. If you crop it after shooting by 1.5 and not in camera, you will have more and larger pixels then the D7100. You'll forgive me but I just don't understand why why why the D7100 should theoretically be better if you crop the D800/E to the same size. This is an example of what I found on-line. "True resolution is effected by the physical restrictions of sensor size, and it may differ from the megapixels announced by manufacturers.
