[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 835352, member: 48483"] The Raw images do get cropped when set to DX mode. Expect to lose fine details doing this. By only utilizing the center pixels of the sensor, you drop back to 2008-level sensor resolution. There is no "have your cake and eat it too" scenario. On technical merits, this all works. You will have photos. It's possible if you take a Z180-600mm you may not get any improvement. Long telephoto lenses have a learning curve and a cruise is a poor time to do the learning. I think a Z50-II might have been more beneficial for this. You get 20MP with the crop sensor instead of 10-12MP with the Z5 cropped. Still can use the 24-200 lens. Ps: Raw to card 1 and jpg to card 2 is exactly how I save files. 95% of the time I never use the jpgs but I still at least keep the option. [/QUOTE]
