I've been a TH-camr for more than 10 years . I watch Cameras reviews every time something new comes out but I learned more from this channel in 3 video than all these other reviewers . You keep it dumb simple . You explain things very well for an average consumer .
Hey I appreciate that Raymond!
what are those videos!?
Same here
Yep! He’s my go-to for in-depth, honest and transparent reviews and tips. But every time I think he’s not gonna have any cons about a camera he’s been dishing out the pros on, he busts my bubble. 😂 As he said tho, no 📷 is perfect.
Quick correction: A Full frame DOES NOT has a crop factor of 0 (zero). It has a crop factor of 1, because you are basically multiplying the focal length, and multiplying by 1 doesn't change the result so the Full frame is not cropped.
Other than that, great video.
Haha! Thanks Man. My math sucks. Yes your right crop factor of 1.
@@FulaanCreative ❤
If you put a 50mm lens in a crop factor 0 camera the lens will disappear
@@leimleim 🤣🤣🤣🤣 True, and this will create a black hole in the Universe because the laws of physics were broken 🤣🤣, All because someone put a lens in a camera 😅
Didn't seem to include the backstory behind 'Full-Frame'.... That being equal to a 35mm (36x24mm) film frame. The main attraction to this is for people who already have 35mm gear, or that with common mounts (Canon EOS, Nikon F). Modern technology makes it possible to make better quality wide lenses cheaper (12 and 15mm Lumix/Leica for example), so the ability to make lenses to suit the format is at its peak now.
My grandfather passed recently and I inherited a R7 and 7D Mark II he used for wildlife photography. This video really helped me understand some of the differences of the gear to help me become more like him. Thank you!
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful.
Congratulations on inheriting some familiar heritage. Good luck with that.
Great choice for wildlife. Not so much for portraits or events in small venues. Get the right tool for the job. Different tools just like in carpentry.
He was my grandfather too. Send either of those cameras to me. 🤣
how much have you advanced till then?
Great summary, but I lost it on “Man eating Polar Bears in Afrika”!! Darn, then bears must have really hit the local freezers! 😂
The only bears here in South Africa 🇿🇦 are teddy bears. Not man-eating.
@@unwoke1652Only gummy bears round here
I have been watching camera reviews for a year and this is by the far the most well explained video I have seen. Thank you so much for keeping things simple while detailing what matters.
Awesome! Thanks.
I like the way you explain things to cater to someone like me who has zero camera knowledge. And the pace in which you explain it all is straight and to the point. I appreciate it😊
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.
Great explanation for beginners! Wish I saw this back when I started. Anyone new to photography should watch this
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. Thanks for watching and commenting as well.
In this digital age, I have used micro 4/3 (Olympus and Panasonic), APS-C (Nikon and Fuji), and full-frame (Leica) sensors in digital cameras.
All work well.
The tech is so good now days there really are no bad cameras
Nice to know.
Very good video. The current trend is convincing people that APS-C are the way to go and FF is just waisting money because sensor technology has significantly improved in recent years. Camera gears are expensive and APS-C is fine for many people but I'm glad at least someone is mentioning the "wide shot" capability of FF. This is a key point that speaks a lot to me
Thanks! I appreciate that.
The FF never made sense for me in our industry but it does have a benefit. The APS-C cameras always aided us in our productions, mainly because we shoot from a distance. If we ever need a WS shot, we pull out our iPhone 13 Pro, turn on filmic pro, set it to LOG V2 and get a crazy landscape WS to set the scene. I don't know if FF's are a waste of money though, because at a wedding reception, a FF sensor and fast glass with a 1.7 is a "flex" in ambient lighting.
Its more about lenses. The quality wide and short range lenses are available for full frame, but very limited or expensive for aps-c. Also the world has accepted full frame as the standard, and everything is based on them, like the crop factor etc.
When the technology is there, maybe aps-c will be more popular, but it wont matter because its about grip. So machines still will be big enough.
Possibly the lenses will get smaller and lighter, maybe following sensor size getting smaller as well.
But not yet.
Which is why I prefer M43. Always ahead of the stampede.
This is what I was looking for. A simple, descriptive, and easy-to-understand explanation on this subject. Gained a follower here. This helped out a TON! Thanks!
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful.
Really enjoy you’re “no frills” way of explaining things. Very basic ( in a positive way) and very clear. Great stuff !!
Thanks! I appreciate thew kind comment.
I LOVE how you explain!! You don't talk down and make people feel bad , you tell your truth !! This was a Great video Thanks
I appreciate that!
I’ve always felt hesitant to start but you’re a great teacher. Definitely going to get a camera this week and get started 🙏🏽
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for the simple yet clear explanation. I already have a action and 360 camera the Insta360 One RS. I guess I can aim for an APSC camera when I want to buy one.
Your very welcome. thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the informative video.
The MFT system has one major asset.
Some years ago I started having chronic back pain. It’s from injury and age. I was told it was progressive. My full frame camera felt heavy after a morning’s shooting and I often would take just one lens because of the weight. I opted for MFT.
I recently went three hours carrying my Panasonic G9, 14-140mm, 100-300mm and my delightful Leica 1.4 25mm lenses, that’s 28-280, 200-600 and 50mm in what I call ‘old money’. I sat for forty minutes and then did a further two and a half hours. There’s no way I could survive that with full frame and three lenses.
I take photos at car shows, wildlife and wild flowers, all of which require a fair bit of walking and carrying. I have a ‘fisherman’s’ vest in which I carry my spare lenses, batteries and such. I doubt I could carry a 200-600 full frame lens in it, not that I could have afforded one.
If my back was no problem I’d probably have stuck with full frame out of pure idleness, but I’m pleased I’ve been forced to buy my G9. I love it.
I'm with you. If weigh and size a major factor MFT has big advantage for sure.
I learned a lot from this video, thank you for doing comparisons and scenarios. I appreciate your hard work sir.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for visiting the comments section guys! After leaving a comment you can check out this playlist for more content. Peace! th-cam.com/video/uzQMRvLBO_I/w-d-xo.html *side note, I said full frame cameras have a crop factor of zero. What I meant is that they have no crop but mathematically speaking that would mean it has a crop factor of 1 not zero. My math sucks : ) also the Ursa 12k is APS-C not MFT.
One to consider: If you get a fullframe and use in cropmode to get reach, your effective resolution becomes less than that of the average APS-C resolution, unless you can shell out the cash for a 61Mpix FF cam.
Very True. This doesn't matter in regard to video however for photos it is quite a big deal.
Very much appreciated Fulaan for the informative video and your very helpful suggestions! I learnt a lot! Good luck!
Glad it was helpful!
The part "Depth of field" is a very interesting and important one. I was often not sure or didn't get a sure answer about that before buying, but one thing people have to keep in mind indeed is that a F4 aperture for instance while shooting in APS-C is not the equivalent of F4 in FF, you're basically at F6, or a "classic" F2.8 aperture in APS-C is a close F4.2 in the FF world. I own both systems (Sony for FF and Fujifilm for APS-C) so I have to keep in mind what and where I want to shoot before taking one of the 2 systems out with me. I like them both, and you pretty much summed up what I also like and appreciate in both of them. ✌🙂
Yes it can be tricky to remember to do all the necessary calculations when going back and forth between the 2 systems. It's nice to have access to both though as your getting the benefits of both :)
it's true if you're trying to shoot the same wide/frame as FF, since you have to move step back 1.5x further, but from the same distance 2.8 apsc = 2.8 ff, the difference is the cropped frame.
Though I’m aware of the pros and cons of each sensor type, this video was refreshing to watch. The polar bears in Africa analogy was a nice touch, keep up the good work!
Thanks! : )
Man Everytime I want to improve my TH-cam videos or photography I find myself right back here, love the videos man!
Awesome! I appreciate that.
This is my go-to guy for anything camera-related!!!
Thanks man!
Ain't no polar bears 🐨 in Africa bruh 🤣
Lol
one of the best videos on explaining full frame vs crop sensor.
Thanks!
Great informational video. Just a small correction, we do not have polar bears in Africa. 🙂
: )
I learn so much from your videos!!! Thank you😊
You are so welcome!
Really like your informative and easy to understand videos. They are fun too. Thanks!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.
10 years ago, FF was the goal because there was a much broader difference in regards to low noise, detail and dynamic range.
Today, those differences still exist, but the gap is very narrow to almost imperceptible in some cases, at least in my experience.
The march of technology changed the game. 😉
I agree. Many amazing APS-C cameras out there.
Thanks for this! Very well laid out and understandable. Love your channel!
Thanks James! I appreciate it.
Your videos are awesome! Helped me so much in deciding which camera to get!!
Thank you so much, this was super helpful!!! I'm looking to buy my first camera and this is exactly what I needed
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful.
Well done! I just got a Canon 5D classic and I love it! Amazing results and the price was so right.
In fact I was out with it shooting for the first time ever and ended up getting a Mark 2 just because,,,
This video explains so much so well.
Awesome. I'm glad the video was helpful.
How’s the MK2? It’s old but I’ve been considering getting one.
Just get both. I use FF more for landscape. My apsc cameras for tele and sports. But on both I use FF lenses. There are just a few apsc lenses for Nikon that can hold up but most of them are not great.
Fulaan habibi you just answered all my 3hour itchy head questions into this 11min video. Thumbs upp.
Lol. Glad I could help!
A comment on the note at the end about some fullframe cameras allowing to switch to APS-C crop mode: this option makes the camera use only information from part of the sensor, i.e. the result is exactly the same as when you crop the image in editor. As a result, you sacrifice resolution; while it's not much of a problem for e.g. 45Mp R5 where you still get 17.6Mp cropped image, for e.g. R6 with 20Mp sensor, you would end up with 7.9Mp cropped images which may not be sufficient for some applications.
YEs, thanks for the clarification. IT's a problem for photos but not so much for video.
You are a gifted teacher. Well done
Thank you!
Excellent job explaining these concepts. I'm Learning!
Glad it was helpful!
Both! Get both! They’re very much needed.
Expensive toys man!
I chose a camera that had the best autofocus. This camera just happened to have a FF sensor. The down sides are bigger heavier lenses. More expensive lenses. Up side is more wide lens choices, slightly better DR and more control over DOF. My crop sensor cameras match the image quality by about 90% even though they are a 2008, 2016 and 2020 models. One is a 12mp one is a 24mp and the other is 26mp. My FF camera is also 24mp. I took 4 shots of the same subject with them (raw) and processed them to look the same. This was in medium to lower light levels indoors with overhead light and some indirect light filtered through a window. Although you could spot differences when pixel peeping overall they all looked more similar than different even though they were from 3 different manufacturers. The overall image quality was ever so slightly better on my R6 mark ii but that could also be due to the L glass I have on it. Even my 2008 Nikon D90 (12mp) image looked incredibly good. However the handling, ergonomics and autofocus performance on the Canon are next level. My other two are Fujifilm cameras and although I love them the autofocus performance frustrates me way too often. Fujifilm is the only APS C camera brand I would buy today. M43 would be a good option if the autofocus was on the same level as Sony and Canon but sadly it is not quite there yet. Really most people are just posting on social media and even if you do print .......well printing is pretty tolerant of small imperfections. Its much more important to get out and shoot than to worry about what gear you are using.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
The fun thing about a camera like the Sony A7RV is that you essentially have a full frame camera *as well as* an APS-C in one camera. You pay the premium, but the 26MP crop mode behaves almost exactly like an A6700.
I'm happy with my fuji xh2. Lenses are smaller and cheaper, and the prints look great.
Thanks for sharing. I really like the Fuji film sims.
You literally answer my concern in 3 minutes. 💪
Glad to hear it!
Really good info! Thanks for the vid!
Lol. I thought this was going to be way above my head in the first minute-but of course you made it clear and of course funny. I went with the EOS R50 linked from your other video and can’t wait for it to get here. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.
One thing about lens selection, full frame cameras and glass tend to be more expensive and heavy, over time this has been changing slightly, second as time has passed many lens in APSC and micro 4/3 have been getting wider, I have a Panasonic 4/3 lens that fits in the Palm of my hand it comes in 9mm f1.7, so in full frame it frames like a 18 mm, now depth of field is deeper than a 18 f1.7 but the exposure is equivalent. The reason that I have cameras that cover full frame, APSC and micro 4/3 are many, their are times when I travel and lugging a full frame camera with big glass becomes a pain in the back side, many times I find myself photographing in water, it could be in a pool, creek or the beach, / ocean and this is not the best place for a large camera and lens, other times I just want to travel light so a APSC or 4/3 camera is a better choice. One of the camera bodys I have is a Fujifilm XT5 and l was at a family wedding, I was not photographing the event but I wanted to bring a camera because it took place in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. I had a medium sized shoulder bag with the Fujifilm XT5 and about 4 lens, two were Viltrox 13mm and the 75m. F 1.2. This was the first time I was using this camera and lens selection, I used the 75mm f1.2 for a lot of indoor photos and I used it mostly at f1.4 I have to say that it was a great camera and lens combo, I have used full frame cameras with 85mm f1.4 and the Fujifilm XT5 with the 75mm f1.2 killed it,the extra reach on a crop sensor camera allowed me to take head shots of the people at the tables and great shots of the bride and groom on the dance floor.
Yes you are right. In terms of crop sensor lenses the cost and weight/size is a big advantage for many and like you said as they are starting to offer a wider selection (pun intended) the gaps are being covered nicely.
While this video is pretty helpful and easy to understand. I find it quite a bit misleading. For example if you're vlogging on FF you're probably using something around 20mm right? On APSC they have a 13mm 1.4 which equates to 19.5mm on FF. And for telephoto. Every mount has access to the same kind of telephoto equivalent focal lengths.
Wanting to go wider or have more reach should not decide what sensor to get because all sensors have access to wide angles as well as telephotos. M43 it gets a bit more complicated yeah but you can still get wide angles on that too.
For me that's probably the main factor in making the decision. The reason I say that is because although you are correct in that you can get a super wide aps-c lens the fact is that they are not as readily available as the equivalent in full frame. Nor do the aps-c versions have as fast as an aperture. Look at the Canon RF system. There is a 16mm f2.8 lens for less than $400 but they don't have a 10mm available at all and who know how long until they make one.
I need help. I own a Canon camera R50 model with a lens 18-45mm, and I use my camera for photography of my customers In my own studio but the result of the images are not satisfying at all ( I'm also not sure if the 2 lights that i use, 1 : Amaran 150c and the other one is a cheap brand have any effect to the images or not ) but today i searched about some lens for my camera and i came across with ( Canon RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 Lens ) which in my research about this lens stated that it is good for all purpose of photography but not really for wildfire and nature one ( which is fine for me ), and recently I found a good full frame Sony Camera a7 III series which a lot of people recommended that to me specially for photoshoot in the studio but that camera is expensive and it does not come with any lens so i have buy purchase a suitable lens separately. Now I'm confused to choose: should I just buy an RF-S18-150mm lens for my Canon or should I spend a lot of money on a new camera and a lens?
such a cool lesson - i m learning what i possibly missed out...on other vidoes...thnks man..good job...jeez i can actually understand what you are saying...thats so cool....thnk you...
Glad to help. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Get both when your money is right 🤔
I have a Canon 90d, 5DMKIV, and R6MKII. Each camera has unique qualities in their photos. Recently found a used Sony a6000 cheap at a camera shop. Will be using it as a general travel and walk around camera.
For sure, you can get some killer deals on used gear. Sometimes you can find camera and lens combos where the lens by itself is worth the asking price.
Technically, a full frame sensor has a crop factor of 1; not zero. They call it full frame basically because when digital cameras started coming out, the size of the capturing medium was pretty much standardized at the size of 35mm film, so since then the crop factor is compared to that size. Full frame is the same size as 35mm, so it's a 1. Sensors smaller have crop factors larger than 1 while sensors larger than this have crop factors smaller than 1. Back in the days of film, there were many formats larger than 35mm - - and they took absolutely beautiful photographs. One of the most popular was known as medium format, and they came in many different sizes. Hasselblad makes a $10,000+ medium format digital camera with a sensor size larger than "full frame". It's crop factor is 0.79. So, in essence, a full-frame camera is to this Hasselblad's sensor - - what a crop sensor is to a full frame camera. The medium format sensors have the same advantages over full frame as full frame has over crop sensors. General image quality improvements and better low light performance, less noise, etc.
The crop factor is a factor with reference to full frame. It's sort of a ratio, so if you are comparing full frame to full frame, the crop factor is 1 - - because 35mm (full frame) is the standard on which the crop factor is based. So, it's 1 to 1. A Canon crop sensor is 1.6 to 1. The Hasselblad mentioned above has a sensor that is 0.79 to 1.
This factor is where they get the "full frame equivalent" from with regard to focal lengths of lenses. You multiply the focal length by the crop factor and you get the full frame equivalent. A 35mm lens on an APC-S crop factor camera has the equivalent focal length of a 56mm focal length lens on full frame (35 * 1.6). For crop factors smaller than 1, you would DIVIDE by the crop factor. So this 56mm equivalent on a full frame would be a 71mm focal length on the above-mentioned Hasselblad. So the crop factor from the APS-C Canon to the Hasselblad is basically 2.0. A 100mm lens attached to a crop sensor Canon looks like a 200mm lens attached to the Hasselblad.
The reason this whole thing happens is because of optics. One of the main reasons lenses designed for full frame sensors are more expensive is because they need to be able to project an image that actually covers the whole sensor. A lens designed for a cropped sensor frame can get away with a smaller image projection - - because the sensor it's projecting onto is smaller. This is why images captured on full frame cameras with lenses designed for use on cropped (smaller) sensors have heavy vignetting in the corners. Because the image that lens is projecting is smaller than the full frame sensor.
Let's say you have an overhead projector that is displaying an image on the wall. Take a piece of paper and tape it to the center of that projection and trace it. Now, take a LARGER sheet of paper and place it in the center and trace the image projected on it.
Now, imagine you blow up the smaller piece of paper to match the size of the larger piece of paper. The sheet of paper that smaller, but now the same size will appear to simply be a zoomed-in version of the larger piece of paper. This is why lenses on cropped sensors taken at the same focal length as a full frame look more zoomed in - - and in general why they are slightly lower in quality. If you're looking at an image on a computer screen - images from cropped sensors and full frame sensors are all the same size - - - which means the images captured on the cropped sensors must have been blown up to the size of the images captured on a full frame sensor. So, some quality is lost in that enlargement. There is also the issue of pixel size and light-gathering capabilities. This is why full frame is generally higher in image quality than cropped sensors. Images captured on sensors even larger than full frame are higher in quality for the same reason. You'd have to blow up an image taken on a full frame sensor to be equal in size to the medium format sensor, and thus would lose some quality relative to the larger medium format sensor.
Thanks for the clarification. You are correct. I was intending that there is no crop but technically that would be a crop factor of 1.
If budget is not a problem , Sony full fram(61mp) can used 2 type of lens & take advantage of it so it will not be the anything to discuss. Just my sense
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Very clear & helpful.
You are very welcome.
Afrikan polar bear! I love it
Years ago this may be true using full frame. The crop factor is true but full frame tend to be larger and more expensive. Panasonic came out with 9mm f1.7 lens good for vlogging, the 9mm due to crop factor frames like 18mm lens. Watch full frame cameras because they tend to over heat,check the time limits for video if that's your primary use.
This is really helpful as I'm looking into getting a Lumix g85 to get into photography. I have two little kids who sometimes like to get right up on me, so if the 9mm f1.7 lens will allow to capture close subjects, then it'll be a good investment
I wish I found your video earlier, very informative. I was dumb enough to buy GH5 (MFT), and I planned to use this for green screen spokesman videos and other content, but the crop sensor makes it very difficult to shoot in small environments (such as apartments).
I'm glad the video was helpful. You could always sell it & grab something that better suites you. Even if you take a small loss it'll probably be worth it in the end.
Mannn u broke that DOWN!! I feel like I understand it 100% 🤓🤓🤓👨🏽🏫👨🏽🏫
Awesome! Glad it helped : )
I don't shoot videos. I mostly do portaits. I have two FF cameras and to crop and Lumix compact 30X zoom in my car. I don't have any MFT's. If I bring something with me in the car, exept for the Lumix, it's crop. In studio and for ortraits outside...FF. Every camera is a compromise, and has it's own field of use. :)
Very true
When I shot Canon - I absolutely loved my 300mm f/4L IS lens and used it on both my full frame and my crop sensor cameras. I wish that Sony would come out with a light weight 300mm lens with a constant f/4 aperture.
thank you for the information, very clear, and concise
You are welcome. I appreciate the kind comment.
@@FulaanCreativeit's my pleasure
Thanks for the solid info brother!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Honestly, you just killed most bloggers and talking head cameras out there. Thank you for keeping it real.
: )
Great video. I would have probably included Fujifilm and Olympus
Thanks! I'm sure they make some great camera but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to shoot with them.
You could have added obtainable GFX too. That's amiss, not to mention X-S20.
For video, shallow depth of field is not desirable to shoot a scene. You don't want a thin depth of field, unless for rare artefacts.
im a rookie shooter and use a NikonD3200 with Crop, my kit 35mm is a 52mm. my 24mm is a 36mm on my crop. 105mm is 157.5, but since this is my first camera, Im learning how to get busy with it
Yep, that's what matters. Getting out there and getting experience regardless of the gear your working with.
For selfie vloggers, using a full-frame camera may not be the most suitable choice due to its larger and heavier wide lenses and camera body. I recommend opting for an APS-C camera with a lens focal length ranging from 11mm to 15mm.
If weight is a factor then I would say you are correct. The new DJI pocket camera that recently came out also produces very good results and is super light weight.
I've been shooting point and shoot cameras with a 1/2.3 sensor for over 20 years now. So any of these larger sensors would be nice. I am bidding on used DSLRs with the APS-C sensors on ebay. Hopefully I'll get one for a good deal.
Usually the aps- c are more compact and lightweight. The full frame batteries tend to be larger so they do last long.
True
What if your camera have an APSC sensor but with one of the latest processor
He had me at the man eating polar bears in Africa.
Nice video, good explanation.
Size matters too! An MFT makes a great daily carry and is discreet for street. Full frame are just too big for that.
I agree. Gotta use the right tool for the job

I'm gonna speak for every African here and say, we don't have man eating polar bears this side. 😂
great video man.
A vlogger, unless, he/she is using a gimbal, may be better off with an MFT camera due to insane in-body stabilization. To fit more into the frame on a crop sensor people just need to use the lenses meant for the format and not full-frame lenses. For an MFT camera one would use a tiny 8 mm lens instead of the 16 mm FF lens.
Full frames best, but larger, heavier Cameras. Buy a great used FF Camera - Nikon D600, not heavy, not large, great dynamic range.
Excellent: good information, clearly presented. I'm helping a buddy get into mirrorless: sending her this!
Thanks! :)
Get a micro fourth thirds camera: smaller, lighter lenses for the same functionality. If you're going to be walking round with the camera, especially when travelling, you will thank me for the advice.
I disagree with you concerning vlogging and wide angle work. An Olympus 8-25 mm lens on MFT will do everything that a 16 mm will do on full frame. Only on Saturday I was taking photos of a new bridge being lifted into place. There was only one suitable vantage point, I used the 8 mm focal length to get the top of the (very large) crane in the shot.
WHY i like full frame, even if its 8 years old FF, F1.8 FF lenses are so many , to get same 1.8 look we need F1.2 lens on APS-C those are really expensive. Lens collection is biggest factor.
But i really like Fuji XE series with small pancake lenses, for it light weight form factor.
Thanks for sharing.
Ma Sha Allah,..you explained very wisely.❤👉🇧🇩
Alhamdulilaah. Thanks bro

My Bro i love your vibe and content and way to explain it all for us noobs. Hey question, i love street photo but i want to start vlogging, what would you recommend on the economic side? Seems like a FF but just thought id ask. Thank you in advance Brother!
The Canon R50 is a good budget APS-C option. The Canon R8 is a good budget full frame option but costs considerably more than the R50.
Good vid. You make a good point of the built-in zoom with APSC. I was trying to get a moon shot a couple of nights ago with my FF camera... but it was taking a long time to focus, and the moon seemed too far away in the picture. I would have been better if I had my APSC for that one....
Thanks! Yeah exactly
Ou l'inverse. Si vous êtes en intérieur, le FF peut vous sauver car vous ne serez pas obligé de reculer plus qu'un APS-C. De même pour un paysage grandiose, l'APS-C peut vous faire manquer de recul. A méditer.
6) Image Stabilization. From what I’ve read Sony does a good job with their full frame cameras. But it’s still not nearly as good as the best APS-C camera’s. Also, readout speeds are typically lower so expect artifacts when shooting video. Unless your recording videos with a gimbal or a tripod I would avoid a full frame camera personally
Can i just use the zoom out feature on an apsc camera to achieve what a full frame camera does?
Is the Canon r10 a good aps-c? I found it in a really good discount and i was wondering if its better than the nicon for the same price
I like the R10. I don't know how it stacks up against the Nikon as I have never used it but for me the R10 has been a descent little camera.
@@FulaanCreativethx, I found it with the 18-45 for 800 and with the 18-150 for 1000, I think I'll buy the 18-150
Neither the full frame nor the aps-c. medium format is the answer. best.
You trying to pull out the big guns...
Buying a full frame camera from the start ain't necessary. However, buying full frame lenses is a very wise investment. Should you switch to full frame in the future you won't need to sell your lenses and start all over again (assuming you're sticking to the same brand/mount).
That is also a good route to take.
Hey mate what’s the best budget lens recommendation for a short film photography and videography on a beginner’s scale
If you have a full frame camera I'd go with the nifty fifty (50mm f1.8). You can usually grab them for less than $200. If you are on APS-C I'd look for a cheap 16mm or 24mm lens with at least an f2.8 aperture
@@FulaanCreative thanks man appreciate much👋
I like the way you explain this situation 💯📹
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.
trying to decide between a canon r10/r50 with adaptor or a lumix s5 with 20-60 lens. which would you get? (i'll be shooting music videos) primarily.
Question, should full frame crop factor be a 1 and not 0. So a 35 mm on a full frame is 35 mm since 1 x 35 mm = 35 mm. If you had an APS Nikon of 1.5 then, a 35 mm would be 1.5 x 35 mm = 52 mm. Otherwise good video. I would also add that MFT lenses are cheaper than full-frame cameras. As for lens availability, Full frame would have more choices. I shoot with a Nikon D4s and Nikon Z9. I used to shoot with APS cameras like the Nikon D70 and the Nikon D200. The hobby of photography is not cheap and I have collected the trinity lens set so I am way invested into the FX lens set. My trinity lens set is the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8.
Thanks! Let's just say Math wasn't my favorite subject i high school : )
My experience is that people by FF as a kind of macho size comparison stunt, more than a matter of being practical or meeting a photographic need.
That may be common with various expensive camera gear.
Keep Grinding!
For Sure. Gotta get it.
Would you use full frame camera for up close videos for wrestling or jiu jitsu matches and cars? Or crop sensor?
so everything crop does full does better?
Possibly but not necessarily for everyone.
Thanks for the great explanation! I got an aps-c bc I do birding 😂.
Glad I could help!
I am still very 😂🎉😊 with my M50.
Fulaan, this short & vid are awesome!
Thanks Jose!
@@FulaanCreative You are welcome!
Great video. Thanks
APS-C gear is usually also more than 1.5x cheaper and 1.5x lighter than FF. If you travel a lot and don't want to carry tons of equipment, APS-C is rather a better option.
Very True
To be fair, when it comes to the amount of light collected - which is what affects low light performance and dynamic range - it is proportional to sensor area so the factor would be 2.25 (2.56 for Canon). Only crop factor and depth of field depend on sensor's linear size (so that the factor of 1.5 / 1.6 would apply). But yes, price and weight is also an important factor.
It must bec roop factor 1 for full frame, not crop factor 0, isn't it ?
Yes you are right. I suck at math : )
If memory serves ...
then the Canon APS-C cameras have a sensor which is very slightly smaller than the APS-C sensors in similar Nikon cameras. Only a smidgen of a difference in size, nothing you'd notice.
