But if I crop to DX with the 610 I'll have 30% more pixels than the D90 and 450mm from the 70-300, will I not?
Birds aren't really my cup of tea ( I don't like tea either ) as long as I can get some good horse photos I'll be happy ...
Er, well yes, sort of... The big benefit with FX is you get much more latitude in the crop, you can't easily make a DX image into an FX. The problem with birding that even with JK's 400mm f2.8 and an X1.4 doubler, shooting DX, you will probably need to crop 'till you can see the pixels! LOL.
In other words birding pushes the local length/magnification to the limits, and beyond, unless of course like Jeff you have a nice little hide with beautiful little birdies all around. If I lived in Flint I would spend most of my spare time in that hide, it's like heaven on Earth. I would love to create something similar here.
I am sure you will get some excellent pictures of your horses, just watch the lighting and the histogram.
