I initially felt that way, but I am persuaded that you are just
throwing away too much to make a large crop because you are in the
wrong place or have the wrong lens.
Phil Askey showed a MP comparison near the bottom of the page here:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond200/page25.asp
I think it even exaggerates the differences by lining up two edges.
You can see that almost any substantial crop as a substitute for a
longer lens from even a 12MP image is quickly going to get you down
into D30 3MP territory, unless you are talking about lens differences
like that between a 180 and a 200. :-)
