If they really wanted to DOUBLE DOWN on the epic they would also provide a DIGITAL TELECONVERTER SRAW option... Get an 18mp raw file not by pixel-binning but by cropping the sensor to DX no matter whether you\'re using FX or DX lenses.
We\'ll see.
wouldn\'t this be the same as cropping later from a larger file? Why loose the pixels when you can perfect it after?
If everything else is how I described, I would probably almost never shoot in full 36MP mode (again the assumption here is an 18MP PIXEL-BINNED option in RAW.
I would expect the TELECONVERTER mode to be matched by an optical viewfinder that masks (as on the D3) and would use this only if I Need extra reach or want more DOF in a shot.
The answer to \"why not crop later\" is threefold:
1. I\'d rather crop when I\'m paid to do it than do it for free later
2. I\'d like the consistently sized files
3. Why waste all that storage spaceif 18MP files are MORE than sufficient to get the job done admirably.
