The 70-300CX contra the 80-400 VR II
#5
I guess the most useful measure (to me) when comparing massively different sensors and lenses would be image quality per pixel angle of view. CX is 2.7 crop factor isn't it? So you're looking at 810mm equivalent on the long end. Even if you use the 80-400 on DX, you're only up to 600mm equivalent. Then you have to factor in pixel densities depending on the body chosen.

That aside, I had always thought the CX 70-300 to be one of the most interesting things in mirrorless land, but not quite enough to get around to trying it.
