| Sep 13, 2012 at 6:03 | comment | added | tenmiles | Isn't pixel density greater on cropped sensors? If you look at the Canon 1DX it's 18MP and full frame and the 60d is 18MP and cropped frame. So if you attempted to crop a full frame picture to simulate having used a cropped sensor you would have far less pixels in the cropped image than you would if you used a cropped sensor to begin with. | |

The only true benefit is visualizing the image in zoomed in in the viewfinder vs. having to think it through. | |
