quelfala said:well i dont do large print but as for cropping, i did it like almost 50% of them. what I am craving for is detail image and have a good dynamic range. Currently my D70s really giving off , the more i shoot with it the more I am starting to hit the limit. I do landscape(night shot) , some close up and hopefully to move into portrait. I am in a tight budget to upgrade say around 2400.
Once you jump to FX the standard lens at lease you have.
AF 50mm f1.8D
AF 85mm f1.8D for portrait
AF-S 24-85mm f3.5-4.5G Zoom Lens
Then you just satisfy all you after shoots image results.
If only force to used DX the dynamic & detail definitely is worse to compare the original FX sensor output.
Even using the D800 as same result for cropped in DX mode.
