[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 642804, member: 13090"] You can listen to those bone heads on DP Review if you so choose, but [USER=15805]@480sparky[/USER] is absolutely correct. [I]Crop Factor[/I] relates to sensor size. Period. [I]Pixel Density[/I] is an entirely different topic and trying to compare the two is akin to comparing meatloaf to butterflies. The people at B&H Photo Video have one of the best explanations on this topic I've found: [url=https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/tips-and-solutions/understanding-crop-factor][B]Understanding Crop Factor[/B][/url]. If you read the entire article from top to bottom you'll notice it [U]never[/U] mentions pixel density. Not. Even. Once. Why? Because Pixel Density has absolutely NOTHING to do with Crop Factor. The people DP Review can talk about "pixels on the duck" all they want, they can call it whatever they want, call it pan-seared [i]filet mignon[/I] if that's what does it for you but the facts remain the same: Crop Factor is tied to sensor-size, and Crop Factor and Pixel Density are two unrelated things. Now, should you decide to dispute things in light of this article I wish you fair winds and following seas! [/QUOTE]
