  full frame sensor versus crop sensors...

  this discussion boggles my mind. how could a crop factor possibly be seen as a good thing? you are losing natural vignette from lens aberration curvature, aperture, and light. these are natural occurrences in the realm of slr photography that lend to its aesthetic beauty. any camera that is not of a full frame sensor is not worthy of comparison to a full frame sensor camera regardless of the doo-dads and additional "features". This is photography, and an expensive manner of it at that, if you are multiplying by 1.6 to determine your lens lengths, how can this possibly be the correct approach?
