My Nikon D2X has a high-speed crop mode that, in addition to increasing the frame rate to 8 fps, also increases the lens crop factor from 1.5X to 2X, but at the cost of 6 megapixels instead of the full 12. The faster frame rate is not important to me, but the extra reach is nice. Am I correct in assuming that the same reach can be achieved by shooting at full resolution, but with additional cropping in postprocessing? A. In this case, yes. Nikon cameras such as the D2X crop to the central portion of the sensor and thus lose the pixels of the outer perimeter. If the high-speed burst is immaterial to you, you are better off cropping after the fact, this way, you can crop in anywhere in the frame, rather than be limited to the central patch, and use a different aspect ratio if you like.
