[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 766258, member: 48483"] It should give better detail, but you will not see the improvement with your lenses. Crop sensor lenses on a full-frame sensor camera means that only a portion of the sensor takes the photo so you will have significantly less resolution than the 36MP rating. It also takes a certain level of sharpness to get that extra detail. The 18-55mm lens just is not there. They are fine in the 10-16MP range (and at the fringe of ability at 16MP). 35mm f/1.8G is also a good DX format lens, but it may not have that kind of sharpness beyond 24MP. If you step up to the D800, plan on new lenses right away to get what you are actually looking for. [/QUOTE]
