In fx case you've got a larger field of view and 24 million pixels OR you turn on "dx mode" (or crop in post) and quite a bit *less* pixels (can't be arsed to do the maths, sorry).If you're shooting for web/flickr/Facebook purposes that's alright, but if you want to print big then there's comfort to be found in a lot of pixels.(So, basically, for an identical pixel count at the sensor, dx does "reach further")</blockquote>
