[QUOTE="ISOhappy, post: 642925, member: 44145"] There are many factors that come into play. It's not just sensor size, or just resolution or just pixel density. In the examples I posted earlier, the D750 actually has higher resolution (to start with), but the cropped image is smaller and blurrier. In that example, the D750 cannot match the D500 simply by cropping. The photographer has to either get closer, or use a 750mm lens. To me, reach is about how easily I can fill the frame. It's way easier to fill the DX frame when you're limited by focal length. Plus, because of the pixel density, I can crop down from there if needed, and still have a nice image. If the OP has a D850, it shouldn't matter whether he shoots it full frame and crops later, or just shoots in DX mode to begin with. With cameras like the D810 and D750, DX mode is inferior to just using a DX camera from the get go. [/QUOTE]
