Hi,

Does anyone know about this? Are the high ISO noise levels comparable?

Why would you want to???



And anyway, the D800's noise does not get worse or better in "dx" mode. So if for whatever reason you feel compelled to compare, just compare D800 FF images.

The metering can be different in DX mode so it is possible to get more noise or less noise.



Other than that the crop image is identical to the FX one in terms of sharpness and so on.
