>>4246465>Cropping doesn't increase noise you worthless parasite, it just seems bigger because you're looking at it closer.Cropping absolutely decreases SNR. All photographs are dominated by shot noise which is the square root of photons received. As you throw away photons received you shift the ratio towards noise, i.e. reduce SNR. A high rez FF RAW cropped to m43 has no better SNR than m43.
