[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 310594, member: 12496"] Yeah, it merely simulates using a 15 megapixel DX camera when all you have is the D800. :) Makes the field of view appear to be from a 1.5x longer focal length lens (like DX crop does). Of course, you also get exactly the same picture if you take it as FX, and then crop it to 2/3 size to be 15 megapixels. So I guess what you really get is a smaller file size on the memory card.
