- Don't buy a full frame camera just because the internet said so! It's hard to go wrong with cameras now days because we have soo many great options in both full frame and aps-c.

I don't know why I keep watching breakdowns like this but this is one of the better ones out there.
Haha same here 😂 But yes, this is one of the best overviews from someone who clearly understands what they're talking about.
I can definitely attest to that. This is one of the more concise ones!
Wow! I learned more in this video than all these years of watching TH-cam.
What an expert level video explaining (and showing) the difference between the formats
I almost know this subject from start to end and you still managed to teach me something new. Awesome video! Keep up the great stuff 👌 !
I've seen so many breakdowns and this has been the best one yet, many thanks!!
Kudos! Loved the ‘bus’ for the basketball team analogy!
Very educational. Your style of information is appreciated, you break it down to the basic. Even for us that been using these camera for some time needs a refresh course.
Sir, this is by far one of the best explanations of the differences between the main formats (you missed the mft, but all your general considerations are valid for it as well).
Anyway, I have watched lots of videos on the matter and yours is one of the most informative, an excellent tutorial indeed !
Thanks and stay healthy !
He talked about mft at the end
Once I heard about the a6700, I knew it was going to be a special camera, and it is. Anyone using it will realize they don't need a FF camera body, many FF lenses and a lot of money. The lenses for aps-c from Sigma, Tamron, Viltrox and many others are much cheaper, price wise, than FF lenses. And the aps-c body has the benefit of using FF lens to great effect. It's all there.
Thanks for making a very clear presentation of the two formats. This is highly recommended for those just getting into photography.
BTW, I had fun with medium format cameras decades ago. Lots of fun but nowhere as much fun as 35mm film cameras.
i have the a6400 and its already a very powerful camera with the things it can do! i love it.
I’m a working small time pro… and my second body is a 5100! And get this- I use my Zeiss 85 full frame on it most of the time, because I use a zoom on my main body for more flexibility, but then have that Zeiss ready when it fits the subject, and yes, it’s worth every penny. That said, in my experience, is full frame worth it? Yes. It’s just better, the headroom and depth of field capabilities do matter to me. And yes if you’re never going to go full frame, don’t bother with ff lenses, there are many excellent crop lenses out there. But for an aspiring pro, crop bodies are fine to start with, but building a bag of full frame lenses is a good idea. The best crop lenses aren’t exactly cheap! Also, buy all bodies and lenses used, period. ;)
There is a reason why those lenses are cheaper, you will find out when viewing your pictures.
This is the video that has answered it all, with all the caveats included. Thanks a lot man, keep it up!
Awesome content Erwin! Everything covered that is of interest, perfectly explained and on top of it I love your accent :D
i really appreciate all the info you put in this video. It's better than any other camera explanation video I've seen- straight to the point with facts, visual differences and comparisons, and 0 extra wording to fill the time slot. Thanks so much for your expertise!
Outstanding!! Thank you. I actually think this helped me finally get off the fence. The lens compression and bokeh now makes better sense too.
Never seen a breakdown like this and I’ve watched 100s of comparisons - awesome video.
This might be the most informative breakdown of FF vs APS-C I've ever seen. I also didn't know that trivia about 35mm film and cinema cameras :)
Wish this guy was my teacher for every class I ever took! You explained everything really well and I feel like I've learnt more from watching your video than I did from watching years of TH-cam!
Absolutely bang on man!! One of the most sensible photography comparisons out there!! 100% New subscriber...Hey from the UK!
Bro, this is the best video I saw about the subject, very honest and educational! Congrats
great video. I really like how you explained things. Even though I already knew most of the information, it was refreshing the way you put it.
This is the perfect video for beginners. This answered all of my questions. Thank you!
Your explanations are the best!!❤
Best damn breakdown video I've watched. Amazing detail. Subbed.
Epic video, thank you for that break down. Super clear and accurate!
One of the best, if not the best, video I've seen explaining this. Thanks for the video.
This is such a clear and articulate video. Subbed !
This was actually the best explanation I’ve seen. I especially like that you walked through every step of determining how much crop the photographer will see based on the measurements and how they defer between hardware types. Thank you so much. You did this like an engineer would explain a complex system, and I love it!
Clearly described and demonstrated. Well done and Thanks!
Man i have watched so many explanation and yours is SO CLEAR!!! Thank you for this video. its amazing. You sir, earned a subscriber. Imma watch more of you now. thanks man!!
This was a GREAT explanation that linked so much relative information together in one place.
Great job ! This resume everything we need to know about.
Very informative. Well put together!
thank you, I actually learnt new stuff from this even though I already assumed I understood everything, you have a real directness and matter-of-factness when it comes to explaining and a clear way of speaking, great job!
The amount of useful information you provided in these 13 minutes is incredible! Great discussion!!!
Fantastic video bru ! Super easy to understand explanations. I actually bought the FX30 as a B cam to my FX3 for a few of those reasons, the focal lengths and having the benifits of both worlds. Shot a metal festival a few weeks back and when editing the video I had no idea which shot was from which camera. Also the price of APSC glass is something that makes me happy, I bought as set of Cineprimes that are T1.05 for the price of my Sigma 24-70 F2.8 full frame lens!
great video! excellent breakdown!
Great video, Great explanations, Recently went from APS-C (Canon 90D 32mp) to Full frame R6MK2. 26mp.. Strengths and weakness in both formats, gained, better separation & low light performance. Lost range and resolution to be able to crop in as much. Thanks for putting this great explanation together. Best I have seen. Thank You...
Explanation was on point👍 youve just earned yourself a Sub...
this is a very great explanation between aps-c & fullframe. well done!
I literally never put likes on youtube, but you well deserved it. Analogies you make are spot on, and that's exactly what people are in need.
Your presentation was like a short entertaining course... answered alot of questions I had. Thanks
Great great job!! Loved the video.
Brilliant explanation😃👍! Thank you so much!!!
Very informative and insightful great video bro !
Excellent break down. Very informative. Just subscribed and followed on IG. Thank you and Keep up the Great Work!!!
The explained video on TH-cam hands down!! Thank you. I just bought both (FX3, FX30) 🙂
The info you provided here was excellent thanks
Wow, I learned so much. Thank you!! Thank You!
Great explanation of the topic, well done.
Thank you for such a simplistic explanation of sensors. I was almost completely convinced that I needed a full frame camera. I did not want to dish out that kind of coin at this point. I really think APS-C may be the way to go for my needs. Thanks again.
Great video, loved it!
Great post, thank you so much 🤜🏼
A most excellent explanation, thank you
I have been a professional photographer for 15 years, I have watched all kinds of videos on photography and this one is the best explanation I’ve seen, and it was a confirmation on keeping my a6400 for more time. Thanks for the video
That is the best explanation video I have ever saw! People say FF cameras are better all the time! But they don't account for an actual pixel size on a sensor. Another thing is - you have to use a brighter lens on APS-C, than your kit lens and everything will be fine! 😉
Totally needed that after copping fx30
well this is the most distinct explanation without any hype to full frame vs apsc
This was amazing! Thank you
Best video on the subject ive seen
Subscribed
Love this video!
Appreciate the breakdown bro
Really well explained. very helpful for people who don't know what they're doing with cameras like me
Very well explained. I do feel like we ask for a lot of stuff in these cameras that we don't need or don't want to actually do the work to make the cameras look and work the way they need. I've watched movies with grain in the shadows, we also want the best Autofocus and we want excellent ibis but, most of the big expensive cameras don't have ibis and constant auto focus or auto focus at all . I feel we are chasing perfection when the best movies and photos were made with imperfections on purpose because it gives character to the images. This allows them to stand out.
I’d never heard about too many MP being bad for low light, thanks for the explanation!
Excellent video. I learned more here than any other video on this topic.
Thank you for this video 🙌
Very nice and detailed explanation for a lay man.
I’ve never been on this channel, but man oh man this was hilarious! I got what I came for, excellent explanation with actual facts, and stayed for the examples that just kept making me laugh out loud. 😂 thanks for making this video. Now I am going to find me a basketball team so I have a reason to buy a bus!
Thank you for explaining this.
Very good information Thank You.
Thanks for the excellent video.
I shoot full-frame, APS-C, and micro 4/3. All work well.
Great video!
Great info 💯
Really good video ✌🏼
Man the footage looks amazing. Did you use any lighting and if yes what kind?
Great job bro👍🏼
Soild video and explanation!!
This video just put all my decisions to rest. I was gonna hop in the full frame boat but I’ll start and stick with apsc. More for the money and very similar quality, plus there’s a ton of people making awesome content with apsc. Great video and explanation
THANK YOU FOR THE CLARITY!!!👍🏾💯👍🏾💯👍🏾💯👍🏾💯
great info! hope people will not include aperture into the mix when doing equivalency stuffs. it's literally just cropping in,, aperture size stays the same
So at the end Full Frame has more background blur and better low light performance compared to APS-C, however with some tricks you can emulate the look of FF on an APS-C camera. I know cause I have used an APS-C camera and now I own a FF camera and it's just easier to work with. Not saying the quality of the images are 10 times better as I was the one using the APS-C camera as well. :) But FF has maybe a bit more advantages.
Amen!
I really enjoyed every second of this video. You really hit a couple of nails wich are currently a subject of debate within the photography community. Right now i'm using a Sony A6700 and i can clearly notice some differences with my older generation A6000 camera. It's clear that the gap between a 26mp APS-C and a 33mp Full Frame are getting smaller. And now with the super resolution switch within Adobe Lightroom you can get even more stunning results. Of course i also would like to have a Full Frame camera in the future. But my Sony A6700 is solid ground for now.
Thank you! The a6700 is super solid ground!
I own a A6000 but doubting if I should get A6700 or a full frame camera. Did you notice a lot of improvements in image quality. I mainly do photo's.
@@nisardosti7611 if you only have APS-C lenses i would suggest to pick up the A6700.
good work bro 💥
Don’t mind me…. just appreciating this immensely. Philosophically, I agree. Technically, it’s also very helpful. I’m looking for a B Cam. A Cam is full frame and I’m doing pros and cons. But B Cam is basically going to spend its entire life in the studio. So you’re right APSC is gonna be fine because I’ll always have controlled lighting. Don’t need every tool to work for every single job.
Excellent explanation
In the "old" days we had 1/2 of 35mm ... The "cheap" 35mm shooting only half the frame ... There are plenty excellent old film cams like that ... And yeah great comparison! Thanks. All the APS-C bashers should watch your vid.
I'm gonna call you sir.. even thou you look young. Because you sir are smart and I know this because you just articulated the differences between apsc and full frame in such way that anyone and I mean anyone can understand.. to do this one needs to be smart and understand the issue..
You have earned my subscription and look forward to seen more of your videos.. thank you sir.
Excellent video, got a well deserved sub from me
Very much awesome!!!
i am impressed with your knowledge and appreciate you thanks nikon d-3100
bro... You single handedly saved me a ton of money. I currently have a Sony A6400, and was looking into a full frame under the impression that the pixels mattered so much more than on an APS-C. Your video explained what no other video I've found could explain so well and in great detail without being too complicated to understand. Instead of buying a Sony full frame, I may just look into purchasing the A6700 and upgrading from my current A6400.
It makes so much more sense now just to stick with an APS-C camera over going full frame, unless maybe I'm wrong? I'm so used to shooting with this camera and I've shot several air shows and concerts with great success. Now it doesn't seem like switching to a full frame camera would really benefit me in any way, correct me if I'm wrong. But I feel like the A6700 could fit my needs far better than going full frame since it's a sensor size I've grown very familiar with. I also have several lenses and a Sony G 70-300 lens that was made for the APS-C sensors.
Do you think it's best for me to stick with them, or get a full frame?
Sounds like apsc is a great fit for you! Your 70-300 has the reach of a 105-450mm so if you switched to full frame, you’d have to get the 100-400 just to do what you’re already able to do.
Very well explained
It's so nice to see a realistic perspective on this.
For the longest time I've found APS-C the sweet spot between MFT and full frame. Especially if you run a small crew or run and gun filmography. As an independent filmmaker or web content creator these should be the workhorse cameras.
The smaller the sensor, they are not only more affordable but also generally smaller and lighter, even the lenses and additional support equipment. Recently some APS-C cameras have crammed so much in that they are as large as FF cameras. At the other end they keep trying to shrink the form factor of FF that size and weight is becoming less of a trade off for the body. However in doing so the sizes are getting clunky and or overheat. However your lenses for APS-C cameras are still more affordable.
In a few more years I think 1" sensors will claim the sweet spot. Especially as we start seeing 1" interchangeable lens cameras. We are already some excellent imagery on the 1" fixed lens cameras. When you know what you're doing, you can even get good shallow depth of field from them.
I think if you take something like the ZV-1 and put interchangeable lenses on it, it would be a hit. I thought that's what we would get with the ZV-E10 but they went APS-C instead.
That’s because there are no lenses designed for a 1” sensor with a removable mount. The camera industry isn’t really robust enough to support another platform at the moment, MFT is hanging on by a thread so I wouldn’t expect any 1” platforms anytime soon with removable lenses. I do think Sony has found that balance of size and power without overheating but I’ve used many other aps-c cameras that are literally just as big as a full frame camera so I definitely get your point!
Well are you going to make your money back for it?! Love it! Thank you for bringing the humility and reality back!
Many thanks. I understand that full frame can be better for wedding, concert, portrait and astrophotography specially for professionals but for me as a amateuer photographer the aps-c fullfills all my needs for cheaper price. Besides its lighter and smaller, too. I startet with a used A6000 with kit-lens for 260 EUR. Step by step I bought good lenses and switched to the A6400. The day will come an I get a A6700. But for now I can do all the things I want to do, landscape, cityscape (at night), milky way, macro, some portraits (therefore I have 1.4 primes). For me it´s the complete right decison I get bothering I someone tells me that if I would only one time use a fullframe, I would never look back. My experience shows me that this people instead of work on their creativity would prefer to buy better gear, or they think, that a picture is only good if you can zoom in 200% an alls ist razorsharp. Other think that only a big bokeh is the measure for good photo. They shoot their cat or dog but sharp is ony everything until the ears. Can be a good photo, but not every time. You named it, the "full frame look". So I´m happy if someone who works with both systems is telling the truth. There are advantages and disadvantes of both systems, but to be honest, in the most cases a aps-c would be enough for the most amateuer photographers if the reasons are not the better ev or the bigger or more buttons. But it does not care me what the reasons of other photographers are, I´m totally ok with it.
This is good advice.
This was really informative. I was really leaning to getting the A7Cii for the full frame look but apsc sounds sufficient enough for my needs. I would like to learn about 1” sensors since they are significantly smaller compared to apsc. Especially with the pocket 3 being a hit.
1" sensors are much smaller than aps-c sensors BUT a 1" sensor is much bigger than what's found in cellphones and action cameras. So the performance from the pocket 3 is like the middle ground between what a phone can do but not as far as what full cameras can do
This was 🔥
Thank you for the explanation of the difference between the Full and APS-C cameras. I was thinking that you must buy a Full frame if budget allowed to have a good image, but I was wrong. now, I may able to get the camera "I need" with better price and just spend the extra money to the extra lenses :) Mahalo
I have the a7cr, 61mp, for this reason, best of both, three resolutions to choose from and I have a full range for both crop and FF.
Well explained
This was great
