Cropping reduces image resolution by throwing away pixels.
At some point the reduced resolution translates into reduced image quality.
If you can, avoid cropping.
Agreed, but the OP in another post was asking why his P&S could zoom in much closer than his new DSLR. If he was happy with with the picture quality of the P&S zoomed in, then I would assume he would be happy with a cropped DSLR pic.
The OP was coming from a P&S, perhaps one of the "Super Zoom" P&S cameras. He probably has to crop far more with a DSLR to get the same field of view.Agreed, but the OP in another post was asking why his P&S could zoom in much closer than his new DSLR.

She can't do that, the camera does not have interchangeable lenses. Plus, she already has a 24x zoom, or roughly the equivalent of a 55mm to 1,320mm zoom lens on a D3200.If you want more zoom, buy a higher focal length lens. When I first got my D3200 I bought a 55-300mm lens shortly after and the 300mm side of that is a good bit of zoom. You can reach out and take some nice pics with something of that length.

You're right, sorry. I got my topics confused.She can't do that, the camera does not have interchangeable lenses. Plus, she already has a 24x zoom, or roughly the equivalent of a 55mm to 1,320mm zoom lens on a D3200.
Wait........ what?!?!? The D5100 doesn't have interchangable lenses? When did THAT happen?
It wouldn't be interchangeable if you Super-glued that puppy on.She can't do that, the camera does not have interchangeable lenses. Plus, she already has a 24x zoom, or roughly the equivalent of a 55mm to 1,320mm zoom lens on a D3200.
