If you get the fp-L though, you'll have enough megapixels that you can crop a lot, and still have a 30 or 40 MP image.

Scott, what would be "a lot" in this case?

Bearing in mind that even a 30MP image would result from a crop of only 0.707 times the linear dimensions, I'm not sure that cropping 30% off is actually "a lot"?

Admittedly, cropping from FF to APS-C would still get you about 27MP ...

Considering an APS-C sized crop would be less than half the image, I'd say that's a lot. I did say he'd ". . . still have a 30 or 40 MP image." I stand by that claim.
