D3X versus D300?

Aug 18, 2010

I currently shoot a D300 and I like the crop factor of this camera. I'm thinking about a full frame camera and I'm wondering if the D3X cropped to 12 megapixels will produce the same or better quality and noise handling of the uncropped D300 image. I believe that cropping the D3X to 12 megapixels would effectively give me a 2X magnification factor, but I'm not quite sure, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
