Why do they say full frame is better than cropped?
Scotty, it's a question of format. I simply used the extremes to make a point.

So, there is a difference from using an ASP-C chipped body compared to using the DX setting on a Nikon body (eg. a crop).

Yes the difference is more details and better low life performance (using a FF "Crop"). Which is why I suggested it's better cropping from FF (given enough initial resolution)
I did say before a FF would get a shallower DOF too, but this isn't true. FF cameras get shallower DOF because FF makes you adjust your distance to the subject. If you're just cropping a FF image, it will be the same as a crop camera's image (but with less noise etc.).
