That would be a much more productive and realistic exercise.

You would still need to account for variations in AF accuracy and variations in the quality of light at the moment of the shot. The only way to compensate for these variables would be to compare many shots from each body and average out the results.

Mind you, I am not saying that images from crop bodies cannot be “good enough”.

At this point, the variation in and among photographers’ skills is far greater than the variation in the image quality good modern DSLRs and good modern lenses can deliver. It’s actually been true for a while; just look at your digital images over the past 8 years or so. There are great ones all across that time span, but you’re not using 8-year-old or even 3-year-old cameras anymore, because the newer ones make it easier to get great images. My camera/lens combinations are far better than I am, so it’s hard to imagine myself upgrading anytime soon (unless someone comes out with gear that’s as good but weighs half as much 🙂 ). Thanks again for all you do.
