The normal advantage is that it increases the effective focal length of a lens by 50% (but at lower resolution). However, this deer was fairly close to me already and the extra focal length was too much, resulting in a disadvantage rather than an advantage.

Yeah, I just wonder since it is effectively the same as cropping in post. I guess if you were going straight to jpg, that would be useful. I think some cameras might have faster burst rates in DX mode too.
