[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 642653, member: 8330"] Maybe I've had this wrong the whole time, but as I understand it, if you shoot from an FX camera and switch to DX mode you're not really gaining any "reach". For instance shoot a pic with a 24.3MP FF D600 and then shoot the same pic in DX mode (effectively making it a 10.1MP DX sensor). Blow both those up to 100% and you should have the same pic essentially with the FX just having more image around the outer edges. Now if you shoot a 24.3MP FF D600 then switch to a 24.1MP D7100 and blow both of those up to 100% you should see that "reach". I always understood DX mode in FX cameras being beneficial for performance reasons, not for gaining reach. [/QUOTE]
