what does 100% crop mean

canon 5dmk 2, some lenses, a couple of sticks to hold them up, a thing that make sun at night, and a sense of adventure
I think 100% crop is a silly term. By true definition, if you cropped a photo to 100%, you are not cropping anything at all! If you cropped off 100%, there would be no photo to see....
OK, now that I have the smart arse comment out of the way, they are referring to opening a picture, displaying the actual full size of the picture and cropping a small section out of it, so the small section can be displayed as the full size. Generally used to pixel peep

ahhhhh, thank you sir hoffy
Yep, zoom in to 100%, and then crop as Hoffy says. Often used to pixel peep. Look at noise, chromatic Abberation (CA), sharpness etc at the pixel level.
