louhand Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · D3 Crop Mode vs. D300 ? I apologize if this topic was already covered, but I am curious if anyone has compared the advantages and/or disavantages of D3 in crop or DX mode vs a D300. That is, from an image output point of view, which would yield the best image? That is to say would a 5.2 megapixel D3 image equal or surpass a 12 mp D300 image? If so, are there limitations where a D300 might be the better choice? (Final print size, noise at various high ISO?) Nov 28, 2007 at 02:39 PM

Besides the High ISO, when would a 5.2 mp image be better then a 12 mp? I guess from a file handling point of view, 5.2 mp should process faster and take less space. People rave about their D2H images, when blown up, but if seriously cropped, that may be a different story. One thing that I recall when I first looked through the viewfinder of a D3, is that the crop mode yields a much smaller view in the viewfinder as it darkens the unused area. I didn't ask if "Live View" compensates for crop mode and display a fuller frame. Nov 28, 2007 at 03:25 PM
