[QUOTE="ISOhappy, post: 642655, member: 44145"] I've always found it to be a confusing topic, but my understanding is the extra "reach" comes from the higher pixel density that DX cameras usually have. When two cameras have the same MP but different size sensors, like the D750 and the D7200, the one with the higher pixel density (D7200) will allow you to crop much more and still have a detailed image. It's all about how many pixels you can put on target. It gets a little more complicated with the D850 because it has enough px density to match the DX cameras. So in that case, it really does have the same "reach" as, say, a D500. If you crop the 850 down to DX size, it [I]should[/I] look the same as if you took the shot on the D500. I say should, because there aren't really any tests out to show this yet. I did see one comparison, and I thought the D500 shot was ever so slightly better, but this was at ISO 25600. [/QUOTE]
