[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 649691, member: 43924"] You might have missed it altogether, but sorry, this statement is not correct. Many years ago, I owned one of the first (film) APS-C cameras, which is exactly the same concept we now call DX: Nikon's Pronea S. The crop factor applied there, too. Beyond this small correction, I have to admit I'm lost in your ramble: what's so hard to understand about cropping images? If a only use a smaller area of my sensor, the resulting image will look the same as if I had used a longer lens. As someone often shooting wildlife, I crop all the time. Since DX sensors are 1.5x (well, actually it is 1.5x in either direction, so 2.25x in area) smaller than their FX equivalents, a 1.5x longer focal length is what you get with them. Hard to grasp? I don't think so, and I certainly see more value in it than a marketing ploy. For 'wildlifers', having smaller sensors that nonetheless have high resolution is a godsend. [/QUOTE]
