It also helps when shooting long lenses where the 1.5 tele ratio is required. Therefore my DX lenses that I bought for the Nikon D70 or D300 are still usable, and at 10mp the image is virtually the same resolution as the other bodies. I know you can shoot at 24mp and crop, but it is just more convenient to see the full image in the viewfinder.
