But if you take focal length into consideration, it might not always be true anymore. Say if you use a 50mm on a APS-C camera, that is a fullframe equivalent of 75mm. By having to use a longer focal length, it usually results in having to use heavier lenses. Hi Craig, you are right in a way.

Bigger/more elements = more collection of light (which allows for more exposure flexibility and higher image quality). 2) See #1... lenses are the most important part of the equation... don't cheap out on the glass. 3) Buy proper glass, and this won't be an issue. Some minor vignetting will occur on ultra-wide glass (14mm and lower, but there are no DX equivalents to this width of glass). 4) 3-5% loss on viewfinder is common (even the Amazing F4 only had 97% coverage) the loss of a couple of MM of coverage is FAR outweighed by a FX viewfinder which is twice (closer to 2.25x)the size AND brightness of the DX - The D300 is also a low eyepoint finder, which forces you to squish your face into the body to view... 5) Currently the D700 is only $2,160 at Ritz when you pay with paypal (its a special, but there are many specials on the 700 from reputable dealers if you do the research) - not nearly twice the price of the 300, and there are MANY more features on the 700. Frankly, this "booo" is bbbbbssssss... 1) Most DX lenses are inferior in quality (optically) than full-sized glass.

This blog is all about analyzing the shortcomings of gadgets. We all know the good stuffs, so here is the ugly side. :) That is merely an objection look at the disadvantages of full-frame, most of the points apply to Canon 5D and 1Ds as well.

A D300 user poking at an FX D700? Shocking! If you want long lenses, go for the smaller DX. If you want ultra-wide, get FX. But don't pooh pooh FX simply because that's not what YOU bought. :o) Hmmm.
