That's correct. It comes down to optics - this is the best article on the subject IMHO - there's an updated DXOMARK study in case anyone's interested ...

I don't know how "far" above they are but the reason that i bought a FF camera was the article by Ken Rockwell showing shots of the same subject and it's clear that there is far more detail in the FF shots of the same subject; until you see them side by side you may not really realize it.

However, from all that I've read and used, FF quality remains far above any crop.

it's still all about the money,if the the customers stood up and demanded an affordable ff camera,they would come out with one.

In film we wanted to work with a big negative. In short, a Haselbad or a Pentax 645 was a most desired camera. The reason being negative size.
Why doesn't the same hold true for sensor size. A FF vs a crop sensor. Why would one prefer a crop sensor over a FF sensor?
After all isn't it all about capturing data?

The DX began life because it was cheaper to build, and it is still selling today because it is cheaper to buy.

If I want "reach" I use my D7000 or D800e in crop mode. If I want capture data (resolution) I have that option with full-frame.

Looked at the Rockwell article and there is quite a difference in image quality.
I think should I go back to a dslr that i would go full frame. It seems that size does matter!

Got a great laugh from that. The only thing I could find with Google was the players on a hurling team, and certainly another mental image I didn't need! :oops: :-D

I don't know about the Phase One IQ180 at 80MP, but the pixel pitch on the D800 is 4.8 microns vs. 4.4 on the D7000. Not a huge difference, but about 10% more density for the D7000.

Shooter what I like about you is that you are honest & straight forward which in my amateur eyes is very helpful. I posted the picture of the black cow in the grass for people to ell me what I did wrong. You were very honest & I understood what you said & liked to 10 second pp you did to balance the color & sharpen. I'm out tomorrow to Try out my new 24-105 & will post pictures for your critique which will be very much appreciated.

It's ruining the economy. If people had to carry my two F4S bodies, four to six lenses and associated gear around, we'd have more chiropractors, more of their office workers and less unemployment. We would all be in better condition. And look at all the film manufacturers, processors, and related industries and their employees. I tell you, this digital stuff is making us a nation of weaklings!
