[QUOTE="Mycenius, post: 173056, member: 14714"] I don't think anyone is saying that Wayne, and the image file size thing for data capacity is a different factor again, and is a valid point - we were just talking more about the benefit of the FX crop from a zoom (i.e. x1.5) effect and the image benefits. Space constraints is a whole 'nother kettle of fish...! :D IMO - From an image quality/benefit perspective I think the crop factor function is a two-edged sword - you may gain some zoom benefit on FX cameras (I need someone more technical in the know to tell me if I am wrong or right on this), and the smaller file size benefit, but you sacrifice pixel density (i.e. IQ) for printing large images and/or limit your options to do more detailed cropping in post processing... :) [/QUOTE]
