Check out some comparisons between my crop sensor Canon 60d and my full sensor Canon 5d Mark II.

 

I enjoy using both of my Canon HDSLR and feel like I double my lens collection because I can get a totally different look with the same lens used on either of my full or crop sensor cameras.

 

To find out what kind of focal length & field of view your crop sensor camera has with a particular lens simply take the (focal length of lens X 1.6) = crop sensor focal length (just make sure your not using a crop sensor lens when doing this equation)

 

So if you are shooting with a 50MM lens on a crop sensor camera, you are essentially shooting with an 80MM lens.
