[QUOTE="Jon Robert, post: 553890, member: 42052"] My question was: Buy longer lens or crop center of what I have for my Alaska trip. My pondering led me to buy the relatively new Nikon P900 as a satisfactory answer/solution. The cost of a mega zoom lens for a DSLR towards 2000 mm was out of the question and any affordable tele/reach improvement would have been relatively minimal. So I did a little comparison today to see just what would be the difference had I just cropped a center out of my D90 and 18-200 mm lens. Very happy with this P900 option/solution. A camera review is not the purpose of this post just the zoom/crop issue. I will take the D90 also. (I guess the 18-200 should maybe be referenced as 300 mm via crop factor for comparison. I know some make issues out of those technicalities and want to argue) [/QUOTE]
