That is how we calculate equivalent focal lengths with different sized sensors, anyway.

Ok ... lets try it this way:
Asume you have the image of a 24mm on a fullframe camera.
Which focal length do you need for your crop-1.6 to have the same VoF?
24/1.6 = 15mm ... ok?
Now the TO had a 14mm lens ... nevertheless, lets do the rest here with 15mm...
If I have the 15mm on fullframe ... and crop out the portion that a crop-1.6 sensor
covers, I do get the VOF of a 24mm (on fullframe) ... now much megapixels will I get?
24mpix / (1.6 * 1.6) = 9.3mpix ....
and remember ... the TO had a 14mm lens .... so my calculation leading to 8mpix is
correct without any doubt.
