The full size images are here.My testing involved a tripod, Nikkor 105mm Macro for both tests, a D7100 and a D800. Both set to Live view to aid focussing which is the same as mirror up and both support that also. Both cameras are set to F8 for a better DOF, 1/3 sec exposure as I couldn't be bothered to set lights up and ISO 200. I shot in raw and added the same sharpening to all files. No other changes made.One thing of interest is the very obvious reduced depth of field on the D800.  For the cropped images I exported the raw files so that the D800 crops had the same long side pixels as the D7100. The logic being that the D7100 had the best native resolution and the upsizing of the D800 just shows what it looks like presented at the same size.I think the lack of AA filter on the D7100 is showing here although I think I could get the 800 files much sharper with proper post processing. You mentioned that the earlier samples that I sent links to were not the same size. That's because they were full size exports and the DX version had more pixels so it was a bigger.Have a look at these images. I'm of the same opinion that I started with that the DX is better resolution than the cropped FX and I'm using a much bigger FX sensor here so my DX crop is 15 MP which is giving FX a better chance than the D750. Now if I'd used that Macro lens to fill my 36MP FX frame it would have been a whole different story <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH]127950[/ATTACH][ATTACH]127951[/ATTACH][ATTACH]127953[/ATTACH][ATTACH]127952[/ATTACH][ATTACH]127954[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
