In reply to anthony mazzeri, 3 months ago

Yes but I can imagine people getting upset if the camera decides when to use crop mode, ie all DA lenses operate only in crop mode, because Pentax is not happy with those DA lenses that cover the FF circle but too soft in the corners.

With all due respect I can't see the point in buying a FF then cropping it to APSc.

Crop mode would allow use of APSC lenses if you're upgrading from an APSC kitbag.

Crop mode would be cheaper/convenient than buying/owning separate APSC and FF DSLRs.

These reasons are probably why Nikon haven't and likely never will release a D300 successor - just use the D600 for the same price in crop mode. Leaving pure APSC for the more affordable entry and mid-level models.
