Sure, it lets you use your DX lenses without any sweat, that is, lenses
designed for the cropped frame, which don't have an image circle large
enough to cover full frame. 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.
Cheers
