It is and isn't cropping the sensor. Imagine a 10"x10" piece of paper. Now cut a 2-3 inches off around all 4 corners and you have what you see with a crop sensor (with the same lens on each camera). Now throw a wider lens on it and you can now see the 10"x10" section with the crop sensor....however, the image doesn't have as much data because the uncropped image would be a 12x12.
Well my understanding was correct. Thank you.
Edit: I see I ended up doing my best of spoon feeding after all.
Excuse me but the sentence above is rather rude and is a waste of bandwidth. I was not asking for data. If you re-read my post it says, "I suppose I shall find out soon.", after my rhetorical question.
I want to truly thank you for making me feel so welcome after my first post.
I'm sorry that you thought that was directed toward you...it wasn't. It was meant to be directed at the person who blatantly admitted that they want it spoon fed and is not willing to do any research to find out answers. Comment wasn't directed toward you though I can see how you thought that it was since it was in my response to you.
And you are more than welcome here. It's okay to ask questions, but new members need to also be willing to search to find answers. It sounds like you are willing to do both and that's good...the creator of this thread seems like he doesn't want to research at all. If you are too tired to research your answers, then go to bed and get on the computer tomorrow. (again that's, not directed toward you specifically...just a generalization).
