Thanks Rob
D750 has a 1/4000 shutter the D7200 has a 1/8000 shutter.

Zack is sponsored by Fuji - that should be all the info you need on this subject
The differences between FF and crop are well documented, by what suits you best.
Calm down.
High MP yes I use it all the time i crop heavily.
No i dont brint big 8x10 is the biggest i can remember printing.
As for DR, I find it odd that all the leading cameras for DR are all full frame.
(full frame vs crop) I have the A7R amongst the very best the others like the D810, D750, D610, RX1 and so on. Yes some crops get close, but they will never be better as crops get better so to do full frame. But like i said it wasnt something i got full frame for. High MP, DOF and high ISO performance were.
Stop cropping and learn how to shoot properly and it would all be academic.
I knew there was a reason I often either cringe or laugh when reading your rants/posts
A D7200 will comfortably outperform a D700 so far as quality of images is concerned (sharpness, dynamic range and while not quite as good with noise at high ISO, you'd be surprised how good it is). While being full frame, the really crap resolution of the D700 would be severely size limiting for you, as you do quite a bit of printing for exhibition don't you?
Currently I'm printing 15x10, from which the D700 files look fine. I've resized one to A2 and had that printed commercially and it looks ok.
Doesn't the size of print and the quality perception to the viewer automatically self adjust to a certain degree anyway as the bigger the print the further away the viewer normally is ?
(and obviously a failed headmaster with that irritating little cane)
Not one person has mentioned the annoying pointy stick that Zack kept slapping everywhere!
I am calm.
Oh dear.....
So "MP" is almost irrelevant to you then, as you print so small.
They're not. As I said... many APS-C cameras comfortably outperform full frame cameras with dynamic range.

I do shoot properly thank you i'm not some dinosaur that's stuck in the "good ol days" i understand the camera is just a tool and i would be a fool not to use it to its advantages to get me the images i want. Here is a shocker as well, 99% of the time i don't even print.

Print big, and hang it on a gallery wall, people will walk right up to it, and examine it. They just do. You'll hear all manner of armchair photographers in here telling you about "correct" viewing distances for viewing prints and why it doesn't matter if you print A1 from a 10MP camera etc so long as you view it from far enough away. Ignore them: They're idiots. These are people who've never exhibited work, or stood in a gallery while people walk RIGHT UP to your prints to peer into them.
I wouldn't be comfortable printing A2 from a 12MP camera, especially for an exhibition. A great deal of what I exhibit will be looked at by other photographers and artists... and they WILL go right up until their damned noses are almost touching, looking for something to bitch about. The general public are not quite that bad, but they will not obey some arbitrary rule you've read about on the net. They'll go right up to it, and look closely. We all do. You may take the whole thing in to begin with, but once you have... in you go for a good nosey.
It's a nice theory isn't it?
initially..... yes, they'll do that, but everyone then moves in to have a good look. "Oh what does that say on that sign?"..... "Is that a pigeon?".... whatever the reason, even if it's "I wonder how sharp it is"... they WILL go close. I've spend enough time in galleries watching people look at my work to know exactly how they behave and why these viewing distance theories are a bunch of crap. They apply to billboards etc where people can't get to them, nor want to (It's just an ad... no one cares), but this does not apply to photographic work displayed in a gallery.
Allow me to demonstrate:
One of these images of Blackpool was taken with a full frame camera. The other a APS-C camera. I've stripped all metadata. I have resized them to 2500 pixels on the longest side, which is still regarded as very large for online use.
Can you tell which is which?

Its only the equivalent of 1/8000 in terms of light gathering, the actual shutter speed of 1/8000 is crucial if you need it for high speed photography as its much, much faster (obviously).D750 can run iso 50 if you need 1/8000 equivalent and also the extended iso on the D7200 is black and white only.
Hmm.. not so sure. I only really tend to crop if I've done some form a post processing that means I have to, or if I'm compensating for not having the focal length for the shot I want. As I progress I'm cropping much less for composition, to remove distractions in the background, or because my alignment was a bit wonky etc. These are all mistakes that could have been avoided with better technique, so I think he has a valid point. I obviously still do crop to cover such mistakes but, as I said, I crop far less now than I used to. I can't think of any other reasons for cropping atm...And love Pookeyheads comment about cropping and shooting properly. Cropping is part of the game and always will be. Bit of nonsense that comment.
I don't think the images are close enough in content, which allows a fair comparison to answer that question.
How do you work that out? Both are just urban scenes. Quite similar.
Agreed they're both urban. However the first one doesn't have a great deal of structure/contrast going through the field of view, thus making it harder to compare the two in order to answer your question.
Would that be fair to say?
If you need such an exacting test, then I suggest the differences between the two formats are, as I suggested at these resolutions, immaterial

Wasn't 'that' exacting, just apples with apples. Rather than asking for Braeburn vs Braeburn.
At least put me out of my misery though and provide the metadata of each picture
