[QUOTE="ISOhappy, post: 642641, member: 44145"] In the past, DX mode was not something I'd want to use on an FX camera because the final image has a relatively low number of MP left. Like someone mentioned above, the D750 in DX mode only gives a 10MP image (as opposed to 24MP in FX mode). In this case, it's better to just use a DX camera to begin with. However, the D850 has a pixel density that nearly matches (but not quite) that of the DX cameras. It's very close to D500 in terms of pixels per unit area, but can't quite match the D7200. So, when you shoot the 850 in DX mode,you end up with a 19.4MP image. A lot better than the other FX cameras :cool: OTOH, the D500 give you a 20.9MP image and the D7200 24MP. I'm still waiting for the tests (if anyone does them), but a DX crop from the D850 should look very similar to a full shot from the D500. I actually think the D500 will do slightly better, but we'll have to wait and see. I think if someone wants to use the D850 in DX mode occasionally, it could come in handy, but if you shoot it in DX mode the majority of the time, you might as well save a bunch of money and get a DX camera instead. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
