[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 199505, member: 9240"] I've posted this link several times before with regard to DX vs. FX and how it relates both to resolution and other IQ factors, but it bears coming back to when these discussions go this way and that. There are [B][I]many[/I][/B] factors to take into account when discussing the differences between the two sensor types and how pixel density impacts IQ. Resolution, which is what we are discussing, is one, and the D7100 wins that battle - it's purely a pixel count thing. But as good as that sensor is, there are disadvantages that come with the DX crop factor that make the D800 operating at 16MP's a potential winner in many other IQ arguments, including high ISO, low light, under/over exposed image correction, etc. A pixel's job is to capture light, and the smaller it is the more difficult it is to do it in extreme circumstances. That's why it's important to get the right tool for the right job.
