Verdict:

1.My wallet is smaller than yours.

2. It's not the photographer. It's the camera!!!

Wait, what is the discussion about is here? That D800 users can crop more? Well it's true, 36 megapixels duh.

No.. the discussion was that even at 100% crop, the image was still clear and sharp. I just thought it of interest to other D800 owners, and others who might find it interesting. That the 200% crop is pretty sharp and clear... is amazing to me. I would say it is more due to the quality of the lens, and the sensor, because at 200%, 36 MP is not really an issue anymore.

So that is a 1DX 100% crop? Really? What's with the Green/Blue CA?

Deo · Jul 8, 2012

yes 1DX, check its exif if you want too. the CA, either something wrong with the shooting condition or pure my bad.

Gotcha! I did check the Exif, almost always do when it is available. I would like to see a 100% crop from that body shot with adequate DOF... as a 50mm at 1.2, is not going to give a good representation of what the body is capable of.

No need! Just take the sharpest shot you can... do a 100% crop, and post it. I shot mine at 200mm at 2.8 at ISO 100. Dupe that if you can... just for comparison!
