[QUOTE="Silven, post: 199925, member: 16423"] There is the mistake you made Geoffc. You did not use the same focal length in your tests. You used the same lens, the same subject, the same ISO, the same lighting but you did not achieve the same focal length. The D7100 sensor does not see the same size of image as the D800 so in reality you magnified the D7100 image just by the crop factor alone of using an FX lens on a DX body. Besides the power to resolve does not lie in pixel size or pixel pitch but in EVERYTHING the sensor is SEEING and RESOLVING from the data it gathered. I'd accept you argument if you said that to you the D7100 images cropped looked better then the D800's. That's just opinion and your so very welcome to as many as you want. Like the opinion you stated in this thread that "peoples manhoods appeared to be questioned". Maybe, maybe not. I can't speak for everyones manhood or even if you were being sarcastic or if it was stereotypical dry British sense of humour but I for one was not offended nor had my feathers ruffled. I just truly want to understand what makes you insist that the D7100 resolves better then the D800 as if was an established fact when all he articles I've found suggest the opposite. Just my respectful 2 bits. [/QUOTE]
