[QUOTE="aroy, post: 199351, member: 16090"] The image projected on the sensor is of the same size irrespective of the sensor size for a given lens. The extent is limited by the image circle of the lens. So if an projected image is 24mm wide it would be of the width of a DX sensor, while it will fill up only 24/36 width of an FX sensor. (I am taking the FX sensor to be 24x36mm and the DX sensor to be 24x16mm - the actual dimensions are 23.5x15.6mm for D7100 and 35.6x24mm for D600). There fore for same MP in each sensor (24MP for example) an image of 15mmx15mm in the centre will look bigger and have more pixels in DX. The DR and colour range are directly related to the pixel size. As FX has larger pixels for the same MP, FX will have better DR, better colour range and lower S/N ratio.
