[QUOTE="papa2jaja, post: 198960, member: 14651"] I understand where Geoff comes from but I wonder, since the D7000 is DX, if the same area of the world is photographed (same size in the real world), wouldn't it occupy a larger area (not relative to the sensor but in terms of absolute dimensions) on an FF sensor than on a DX sensor, simply because the FF sensor is larger? If this is true, wouldn't an identically sized crop contain the same number of (or maybe even more) pixels on the D800's FF sensor as on the DX sensor? And even if this cropped area on the DX sensor would contain a comparable number of pixels, since the pixels on the DX sensor are smaller, wouldn't this very fact (the smaller pixels) cause the DX pixels to be able to capture less colour nuances as the larger pixels of the D800's FF sensor? With the consequence that the DX sensor's image would have less nuances of colours and hence less visual detail? A confusing topic, apologies for jumping in with my layman's questions. [/QUOTE]
