Hi Robert, > Austin is assuming you take two pictures.
Correct. I believe it's clear Peter's comparison requires you to take two pictures as well. > One is taken with a camera that > has a small sensor (1.6x) and one with a camera that has a FF sensor. Both > images show exactly the same content using the FULL(!) sensor > area. In other > words, if you take a picture of a face then on the first camera the face > will fill the full APS frame and on the second camera the full FF.

Correct. > It seems to me (not sure), Which is my point, I'm not sure either! > ...Peter is saying you take a picture with the two > different cameras from the same position and with the same lens (setting). Well, that is not what I read he's stated. I don't see how this statement: "we take the same exact image of a group of people" could mean anything but what you stated first: "Both images show exactly the same content using the FULL(!) sensor area." or it's not the "same exact image". > Now assume the camera with the 1.6 factor shows again the full > face.

And, if that's what he meant, I don't see what good that comparison would do for anyone, which is why that, at least to me, was unlikely that this is what he meant.
