Here is a softball shot from 2005 using the Nikon D2x in its high-speed crop mode, which is 6.7 megapixels with a 2.0 crop factor. Instead of using the full DX sensor and getting 12.2 megapixels, at a top firing rate of 5.0 fps, HSC mode gave 6.7 megapixels at 8.2 fps, which back in 2005 was considered quite amazing.

This has held up well over the 11 years. I think in '05 I was using the Olympus E-1. I think it was ~8 mp and 6 fps? It's been so long I've forgotten. Nowhere near the image quality of the D2X.

I remember the Olympus E1. It had a non interchangeable but very good quality zoom lens. The above softball photo was made with the 70 to 200 F / 2.8 VR,(@ 175mm at f/4 at ISO 640 ) the first one, the lens that was so good on low to medium resolution DX sensors. That lens had quite a skinny barrel, and was amazing on DX... but it was not that good once we hit 24 megapixels on full frame. Even stopped down to F 7.1 on the 24-megapixel D3x, the corners showed softening, and after about sixteen years of good service,I was forced to sell it. I paid $1,695 for it the very week it was released, and after 16 years I got $1,000 from selling it. The lens was really amazing for its time, but the skinny barrel was not up to the task of covering full-frame.

To replace this 70 to 200 I bought the fairly uncommon 80-200 f/ 2.8 AF - S, which had been designed for film, and which performed much better on a larger sensor.
