Don’t look down

- Terry Newman, Ton bridge We love crop sensors – the D500 is the most exciting Nikon D-SLR we’ve seen in years. Don’t miss next issue, when we put it head-to-head against the D750.

I was eagerly looking forward to the DX vs FX feature in the current edition of N-Photo, so I was disappoint­ed to see that it consisted of just a list of specificat­ions and lab test results for each model, with not a single image. Most readers are not interested in all the technical stuff, they just want to know what the images will look like.

In virtually every photograph­y magazine there is a constant looking down on anyone who uses a camera with an APS-C sensor as though they are not proper cameras, see “DX outfits are ideal for travel and walkabout photograph­y”, and the constant reference to “upgrading”. This suggests that real photograph­ers only use FX. Please, more actual images and less criticism of the small guy.
