I like new sports cars to have a slightly lower top speed because most roads aren't good enough for those kinds of speeds.

There is probably more truth in that comparison than you intended. If I was looking for a sports car, than the thing that would be least important to me is top speed. I'd care more about acceleration and traction, curve speed, response, etc.

Ok, now that little exchange isn't very helpful... I always have struggled with analogies..!! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

So, are there any plans for D7000 tests, Markus?
BC: Thanks.
So where a lens is showing low resolution, eg at corners, on the D200 (or on the Canon APS-C tests), I'm going to see a bigger impact on the D7000.
Ok so far...
Not at print sizes, though? I was wondering where the cutoff is... e.g., the 35mm 1.8G DX has a score of 1545 at f1.8 at the corners.
I've bought a couple of fast primes for low-light (gigs). It's likely that if I added this, I'd often be using it wide open. And I might sometimes want to crop or print at A3.
So, I was trying to get a feel for a potential 'cutoff' point on the D7000 (given Markus's point)... and also trying to understand a bit better the relationship between lens and sensor resolution, sensor size, the 'sweet spot' effect of using FF lenses on DX sensors... and other factors that impact... for my crash course in this field..!
