[QUOTE="J-see, post: 440827, member: 31330"] Keep in mind that if you go FX for birding or anything else that requires reach, you'll have a harder time filling the frame than when using DX. The crop factor is a serious advantage when it comes to [I]reach[/I]. The amount you can crop depends on more than just the pixels. The sharper or more detailed the shot, the easier to crop. More pixels evidently helps but a good lens helps more. I can crop the D750 up to 100% if my shot is good. The crop isn't as much the problem as filling the frame is. You need to get pretty close to have a little bird fill the sensor even with longer lenses. For birding on the D750 you would need at the very minimum a 300mm prime. Shorter than that makes it hard. Unless you got really big birds there. I'll check my files; I got some birds I shot with a 200mm so you get an idea how it looks in a full shot. [/QUOTE]
