Question:

There appears to be a trend to publish the image (pixel) sizes of the image
both for FX and DX formats....

Why would any rational person use a DX ( smaller) format if he had the
larger format available to him?  ( It is called cropping..... in old
fashioned speak)

Someone is going to say... to keep memory space down.... like a second $50
8GB card is going to break the bank.....   I don't believe that one.....

Does the write speed improve with the smaller image files so the buffer dies
not fill as often?  Is that really a big deal these days?
