If you are comparing 2 cameras... one FF One CS. both rated at 25 mega pixels.
If you shoot the FF in a Crop mode.... is It now less than 25 mega pixels ?
yes.

from a pq perspective, there is no point in buying a ff camera, and shooting it in crop mode... people out here still think that ff means 24mp, but ff really means 24-36mp+... when you start pushing lots of pixels around in post, and you see how good the dr/latitude is, and the benefits that come with downrezzing, you'll stop using crop glass on ff.
people who troll ff out here have: 1)never owned a digital ff camera, 2)never edited a ff raw file.
there could be mitigating circumstances in favor of shooting crop on a ff camera... like the evf in an a7* series camera being better than the evf in an a6000; for mf use a cropped 36-42mp a7* series would be easier to use, and give better focusing accuracy.
or better iso performance when shooting a7rii 4k video in super35 crop mode, vs. using the full sensor.
it'll be interesting to see of there are similar caveats with the pentax ff.
