#9. "RE: should I trade one of my D700's for a D800" In response to In response to 8
St. Louis, US
Are DX crops not just a smaller slice of the full frame sensor?
My belief, opinion, is that the DX output of the D800 is just the data from the DX-sized portion of the FX frame.
If that is true, and the D800 has equal or better sharpness compared to D700, then I would expect the DX output of the D800 to be just as sharp or better than the FX output of the D700.
It will be fun to see how these discussions evolve when the first photos of kitty cats, etc. are produced from the first batch of camera that is shipped.
