Paying three times more for an FX camera, D810 v D300, just to throw away all those millions of pixels to use it as a DX. Then to get a similar photo, instead of buying a 300mm f4 you need a 500mm f4. Then when cropped, the <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~nikond70/Charts/PDR.htm#D800(DX),D7100" target="_blank">dynamic range drops to DX values anyway.</a> Most birders have a limited budget and that's why they want DX. In an ideal world, I'd like an 18MP DX camera with a 500mm f5.6 with AF @f8 so it could be used with a TC14. Nikon, are you listening?</p></blockquote><p></p>
