I just watched Steve's video on cropping and noise. As one who does a mess of cropping I appreciate this food for thought. Thanks for the information.
New video on noise and cropping

Yep…one reason to…if necessary…shift from FX to DX mode if you're going to end up cropping anyway. No (or less) crop also means less amplification of noise. True…with DX mode you lose some MP and thereby potentially some sharpness…but for Nikons at least the bigger in the frame subject just about cancels out the fewer MP in the image. And the smaller files mean a deeper buffer as well.
Yup, it's not a new one, but one that I think is really important. That's why I put it in the newsletter today. I really think it addresses some of the root problems a lot of wildlife shooters have, it's just getting them to watch it that's the trick
As far as noise goes DX mode in camera is the same as cropping the same amount in post, but as you say the smaller files and faster write time and more room in the buffer could be a reason to do it. Better to put on a longer lens if only I had one.
