What is Dx: Definition and 306 Discussions

The Nikon DX format is an alternative name used by Nikon corporation for APS-C image sensor format being approximately 24x16 mm. Its dimensions are about 2⁄3 (29 mm vs 43 mm diagonal, approx.) those of the 35mm format. The format was created by Nikon for its digital SLR cameras, many of which are equipped with DX-sized sensors. DX format is very similar in size to sensors from Pentax, Sony and other camera manufacturers. All are referred to as APS-C, including the Canon cameras with a slightly smaller sensor.
Nikon has produced 23 lenses for the DX format, from macro to telephoto lenses. 35mm format lenses can also be used with DX format cameras, with additional advantages: less vignetting, less distortion and often better border sharpness. Disadvantages of 35mm lenses include generally higher weight and incompatible features such as autofocus with some lower-end DX cameras. Nikon has also produced digital SLRs that feature the larger Nikon FX format sensor that is the size of the 135 film format.
In 2013, Nikon introduced a high-end compact camera with a DX-sized sensor, the Nikon Coolpix A, featuring an 18.5 mm lens.

    Does dx have mulitple personalites?

    Can someone, who really knows and understands, tell me what dx (or whatever variables given) means behind the integral sign? I have seen more disagreement in Calculus books concerning this. Some authors say it's there just to "indicate the variable" your integrating with respect to, i.e., its...

    What is the solution to the integral of xSin(x)Sin(2x) dx?

    A few weeks ago, I saw a post regarding the area under the function xsinxsin2x dx, (x = pi*x/a). After cogitations, I have found the answer: ∫x*Sin(x)*Sin(2x) dx = - xSin(2x)Cos(x) + ∫Cos(x) dx = Sin(x) - xSin(2x)Cos(x) + C By assuming u = xsin2x, du =...

    Solving cos^3 x dx: A Quick and Easy Method

    OK, I know the solution for cos^3 x dx is sinx - sin^3 x / 3 + C. And that you basically solve integral of cosx*(1-sin^2x) dx. to get it. but,... what I don't get is how do you solve cosx*(1-sin^x) dx... is there a trick that I didn't get from the parts formula?
