CAM - I had no problems with the APS-C designation, until a short time ago - when someone in another thread - reminded me APS-C isn't valid anyway, as it refers to a film type. This, coupled with my own repugnancy over the abuse of the term CROP - paralleling it to CRAP - made me decide it was time to seek an alternate name or acronym … and, since everyone is comfortable with DX - I figured the extension would embrace ALL APS-C users - AND would be easier to WRITE and - REMEMBER, too …
I hear you but it makes no sense to me. APS-C is valid because that's what it's called, even if something in the past had that name. (Don t recall that myself.) Do you have trouble remembering APS-C? I don't.

A concerned user at UHH - who believes the time has come - for us to stop hurling abuse at each other - particularly - the FF fans - who ridicule APS-C users - by calling their CROP cameras - CRAP!!!!

It makes PERFECT SENSE to me, Cam - as so many of us are already familiar with the term - DX - so adding one more character - to embrace ALL APS-C designs - seems to be the BEST answer.
There are a lotta folks on here, Cam - who have trouble remembering APS-C (a former film designation, used in the late 80s and early 90s. There was another one, too - just called APS.) Many of them tend to drop the hyphen and the "C" - as they can't remember the whole term. So, this would be a BOON for them!

Bebu - sorry, Chum … and you told me you'd actually BEEN to England - didn't you?
WHY was not used as a question, here … it's used in English vernacular - as an expression - like - GOSH!
Good Gosh, almighty, Bebu - you didn't know that, huh? … By Golly, Mate!!!!!!

1-Just because because you believe the phraseology should be changed doesn't give you the right to unilaterally change it or demand that it be changed.
2-Your thread title proclaims a "winner" even though there was no vote.
3-You still have not shown any proof to back up your claim that APS-C users are being belittled or that crop sensor cameras are being called crap.
