[QUOTE="Disorderly, post: 134594, member: 10297"] The only advantage is that the RAW and/or JPEG files will be a whole lot smaller. Which may allow you to shoot faster as well, since the buffer in the camera won't fill quite so quickly. When I got my D800, I planned to shoot in DX mode. I figured 16 megapixels were file for my purposes, and I got a number of other benefits from upgrading my camera body. That decision lasted about five minutes into my first shoot. Couldn't stand using a small fraction of the viewfinder, so I switched to FX mode and have been using it ever since. My disk and memory requirements are a lot bigger than they were with DX, but all that extra resolution is worth it. [/QUOTE]
