I've been watching dozens of photography videos every single day trying to figure out what to buy...this has to be one of my favorite videos because of how clear and pragmatic you are in your advice. Respect. Keep it going.
It's easy to think we need something else to shoot better photos. I loved the reference to Q2. I catch myself now and then thinking I would be happier if I had one. Then I take my X100F and shoot whatever I can, loving the form of the camera, its d-pad, and “not-so-sharp” lens. Thank you for your videos. I found your channel today and enjoy it a lot 🙂
Considering that a majority of us post on instagram or Facebook or some other social media platform, we don’t even need 24 megapixels. Buy an older dslr and the barrier for entry will become even less. Great video!
I just did a review of my photos going back 7 years and really noticed how APS-C (Fuji, Ricoh) vs. FF (Nikon DSLR, Leica M) rarely ever made a difference. The only two circumstances were taking full advantage of a vintage lens look or the very few times a moderately wide lens still had some DOF limits (28-35 range). For me APS-C is filmic looking because it's the same size as Cinemtographers shooting Super-35. APS-C is "full frame" if you are talking 70s/80s or Tarantino films 😉
there you have it! there’s definitely cases where there’s a useful advantage, but like you said there’s rarely a difference; stylistically at least. i’ve been joking with people lately that i’m gonna start calling aps-c super 35, and what you said is one of my reasons lol
@@doriyancoleman Lenses with character and shallow DOF are certainly not exclusive to fullframe anymore either. The Laowa 33/0.95 or the 7Artisan 35mm M Sonar based formula are examples of that.
Brilliant piece, so eloquently written and and spoken Doriyan. Makes me reflect on my youth and film days shooting street; while now currently, I occasionally do the same with my older rangefinder M43 camera. On some occasions, I try to replicate the images with my high resolution FF equipment and it is just not the same.
I've made 3 8x10 prints using images from my X-Pro 1 and 2 prints from my Leica M262. Surprisingly, I've made more prints with images from my iPhone XR! I don't print nearly enough to justify any higher than 24MP. Amazing video, D! The ALLC grows stronger every day.
@@christopherrodriguez7223 Cult applications are currently closed but will reconsider based on how the stars align in 2022 and beyond! Gotta collect more crystals and M-Mount glass.
simple as that! and when you/we do want to start making larger prints, the clarity of a 24MP print doesn't drop down unless you go significantly larger. thank you bro!
I have printed many 50x70 concert photographs made with a a7iii 24 mp and they look great. I have printed many with the sony RII 42 mp, yes, there is a small difference but you never notice it if you don’t look for it
Hi Doriyan. Just found your channel and it's a refreshing change from the usual street photography ones. I tried an XT-20 for a year and it was ok. I just found it a bit small in my hands. I'm old and a wrist strap is a must! Went back to Sony with an a7rii and just like the feel of it in my hands. Was the last of the mark and a bargain. Some can't justify having a decent camera for street and another for landscape and living in Ireland it's what I do more of. What attracted me to your channel was your reference to manual focusing. Totally agree! Except I use old film camera lenses on an adapter. A mint Takumar 50mm F1.4 that I bought for about $12 with a film camera attached! A 35mm f2.4 version, it was about $50, and a Mitakon(?) 28mm f2.8 that cost pennies. I have a couple of modern lenses but find myself using them less and less. I agree about using a 28mm focal length. It's a forgotten length but I find it a great all rounder. Haven't done much street lately but your channel has inspired me again.
Welcome to the channel! I’m glad that you’ve resonated with things I’ve said, and are feeling inspired to get out there and photograph. Happy shooting!
I work in sales. Every time someone asks: "why is your product better?". I answer: "My product is great, but not sure If it is better for you, what will you do with it?". Ferrari and Jaguar are great, but you need a cargo van to work in construction. Form (features) follows function.
Thank you for this video. Photography, like life, is about making choices. I do not use full frame cameras. They don’t provide me with any benefits I need. As a result, I am a crop sensor photographer. I use both APSC and micro4/3. The images from both system are more than adequate for what I do. The two main benefits of crop sensor cameras are weight and size. I schlep my gear for many hours. Full frame is both larger and heavier than crop sensor bodies. Not only are the bodies lighter so are the lenses. This combination of benefits puts me squarely in the crop sensor world. As of right now, I can say with conviction, I will never use a full frame camera for street photography. For me, full frame provided no benefits over crop sensor bodies. The combined additional weight and size of a full frame body and lens make this choice a no go for me. If HCB was alive would he use a full frame body? Would he even continue using a Leica? How about the other giants of street photography? I vote with my pocket. Fuji and Panasonic for me. YMMV. Mask On Nurse Marty
we all have our reasons! i like aps-c for many of the same reasons as you do. been meaning to try panasonic for the longest but i keep on putting it off. thank you for watching & for the comment!
The JPG King. Ken Rockwell has been dethroned. Joke joke. How’s the transition going with the 40/28mm going? I’m liking the 28 more each day. Hahaha be in stock!! Good one.
lol i like the sound of that! and man i’m loving it. returning to 40mm keeps the streets free and adds some nice compression, while 28 is all of the details in their glory. 28 grows on you fast! and man we may never see the x100v again 😂 thanks for watching!
Wide and shallow. Can’t do it with crop. On the other hand, I am planning on taking my M50 with my grandfathers Zeiss 50 2.0 from his Contax Rangefinder. The adapters are ordered. Shooting with his lens on digital has been a dream for years and mirrorless cameras have made it possible. I will bring a 22mm along just in case. I’m really going to try and leave the R6m2 and 5DM3s at home. Wish me luck.
A Leica SL2, a Summicron 50mm F2, a leather half camera case, a Billingham bag and you can call yourself a Master street photographer. If you have a Fedora hat it is even better.
İ have a full frame with sigma Art lenses & a Fuji X-T4 withe the 18-55 kit lense. İ like both. İ would say that the full frame is a beast, but the Fuji X-T4 is really fun to shoot & the build quality is very good. İ would say every camera has pros and contras. at the end, if you know what you do with the camera every result is nice.
yes, i xpend a lot of time seeing thouse videos to know where ii can find my camara upgrade... i been shooting 3 years with a D700 FX and now im thinking about my needs to be a photographer i want to be. Discrete = non d700 setup . so im gonna take the Nikon z6 for travels, portraits and streewt potography, and my old d700 stay in my work studio to make "Casting" or some simply books for actors.
I like my Pentax MX 35mm film camera.. it's still "full frame" but tiny and so are the lenses. For digital I don't care what I shoot image quality wise, anything made in the last 8-10 years is really good.
Dare a say a 1inch sensor or smaller could be the best options for small, stealth street photography? Image quality might be the downside but depth of field is inherent. My Ricoh GRD IV (1/1.7 inch) does really well for that reason
Great video. Great advice. My question is what about low light. Let's say I'm in the city and it's dusk or dark do I need a camera/lens that has an f2, f1.8 or f1.4? Or is there some trick to getting around that? I would like to hear your advice? Do you have any videos on Low Light Street Photography?
no videos on low light atm, but that would be a situation where a faster aperture would definitely help if your system doesn’t particularly do well at high iso, or doesn’t have ibis. personally i have an ibis-enabled camera that does well at high iso (fujifilm xt5), so ymmv depending on your system.
Just bought my first full frame just for my vintage glass, after happy years with fuji aps c. But after all the videos saying ff is not worth it, i feel like the immense dynamic range and the incredible low light capability with dual native ISO IS making a considerable difference in difficult situations. Just saying.
I hear you and your points make sense. I use Fuji myself. But would you not say that full frame has another level of detail and 3dimensionality in the photos? There does seem to be a slight difference to me, but it probably doesn't outweigh the size cons in most cases.
full frame can definitely have those advantages (ex: 61MP A7R IV, Leica M series, depth of field) and for some those differences can be the reasons to stick with it! more so my point was that even with those differences, the average / common hobby shooter might be better off with aps-c considering the qualities it has like size, affordability, etc. i love both aps-c and full frame for they are, and am even crazy enough to want to try medium format for street one of these days 🙏🏾
My man, this is the truth. I shoot the X70 everyday, sitting at 6.3 for more depth. Layers are better than bokeh. Composing things in is better than blurring things out.
it’s all definitely stylistic, and while bokeh has a place in photography, i agree most people will find god with f/5.6 and higher + selectively composing 💯
I talk about how full frame isn't needed in the camera shop way too much! Fuji's compact system in medium format film is even pretty unmatched, the GA645 series is a 35mm point and shoot on steroids.
my man phil 💯 so true. it’s crazy how much we can improve by just sticking through something even when it’s challenging your description sold me, that’s something i’ll have to try someday!
WOAH!… Let common sense prevail Bro! Having said all that, I shoot street with a used full frame Canon 6D classic. Body costs less than a used mirrorless APS-C Canon M50. Can use a whole host of vintage M42 Full frame lenses at the "correct" marked focal length… and they balance better on the 6D, than they do on mirrorless, which require an extension tube. Also, and very importantly, one battery in the Canon 6d lasts a whole week, when shooting every single day! So yes full frame is often overrated… but sometimes it's not! 😎
To be able to have that 2.8 makes all of the difference. You wont see any professional getting paid to do this for a living use an apc-s with a kit lens or a classical 3.5-5.6 aperture. When you use lower quality cameras you can see the difference between pictures. Sometimes I use the apc-s mode in my camera to get that extra reach sure I’ll admit to that but when it comes to lenses, if you are doing professional work you need professional lenses🤷🏼♂️ that also depends on what type of work you do and what type of photography you are going to do but I rarely change my aperture from 2.8 because in my pictures it makes all of the difference, and you just cannot get the same results of a full frame 2.8 camera and a lens with an apc-s camera and a standard aperture lens. But this is just my personal opinion, I do agree with you though. If you these little things don’t matter to you or if you are doing for hobby then you probably don’t need all the fancy and expensive gear but if you are a professional and looking to make a living out of this then unfortunately you do need to spend more money and get better gear but your skills as a photographer is just as important if not more. Camera and lenses just help you take better pictures. You need to be skilled enough to know what you are doing and know how your camera is going to react in different situations
My brother in Allah/Christ/Jehovah, this is within the context of street photography where the majority of images are shot from f/4-f/22. I don’t think anywhere in Doriyan’s video he mentions you are any less professional for using less professional gear. I don’t believe he mentioned professional photography at any point, opinions aside! There is nothing wrong with your opinion as it is absolutely valid but your comment is misplaced, to tell you the truth, and adds nothing to the conversation that Doriyan posed.
though i see where you’re coming from, have to respectfully disagree with some of this. for example, a colleague of mine has been shooting for Nike and Adidas (among other brands) for almost two years now, and just recently moved from his kit lens. affords his home with it. the x100v isn’t considered to be the ideal “pro” body, but i’ve done work for amazon studios and other organizations with that, the x-h1 and the x-pro with f2 primes. plenty of people utilize the higher ends of their lenses, but low aperture for sure has its uses. i will say, if you have the income to advance the gear, yeah that makes sense, but in the my experience and those of many i know, it really boils down to light, compositions and networking. and especially in street photography where i was discussing it, its not a requirement at all
Pretty sure he made it clear that this video is within the Street Photography genre. I use APS-C for Pro work and I don't know why people gush over full frame quality that much when you can achieve the same results with a lighter gear, If i wanted more depth and resolution then I might as well get a GFX 100S over a Full Frame Sony/Nikon/Canon. Also F2 lenses do exist in lighter more compact body to get to "2.8 iN fUlL frAmE tErmS" If you really consider yourself as a professional you know that you can pull off great images if not better with "lesser" cameras. Photographers who tend to blame gear over their skills is just one of the reasons why beginner photographers try to look for expensive gear even tho they haven't achieved much in photography yet.
@@doriyancoleman oh yeah for sure it’s not a necessity but more of a preference. I mean you could make a feature film using an iphone as long as it looks good then it doesn’t matter. Just comes down to preferences. And I recently learned that during the production of the batman, the car chase scene between the batman and the penguin was shot by 2 different vintage lenses that cost less than $300 which I thought it was crazy!
Hello, I’m a professional and I’ve gotten and continue to get paid using kit lenses and shooting majority of shots at f4. Especially for studio portraits which begin at 5.6 to 8. I don’t need fancy gear because my skills are developed and also because saying you need an f2.8 or faster lens is just a farce. Stop speaking for “professionals”. We don’t talk this ever.
What does the Leica have that the Fuji XE4 doesn't? Well, to judge from the moaning I heard from some Fuji users, for vastly more money it must certainly have a super chonky grip. So much sense in this vid. With slightly wider lenses, even autofocus is not that meaningful in street photography - meaning you can benefit from the extremely low prices of manual focus primes.
that’s fair! as much as i can’t wait to try Leica one day, when you really get down to it, all you really need is a camera and a lens to do street photography. and 100%. i was recently exposed to the manual focus life, and it’s so much fun. ttartisan for now, but voigtlander in the future 👀
I even start to dislike the Marketing wording „full frame“ … „Full“ sounds like no compromise, but in reality is just a little Mini Sensor compared to Medium/Large Format. See what they did there?😄 „Medium“ sounds even smaller than „Full“😂 … so yeah, many people got succesfully mislead into thinking 35mm is the real deal…
100% agree, there’s always a bigger fish i’m gonna start calling aps-c “super 35” lol after all, the sensors are nearly the same. take that, marketing 😂
@@doriyancoleman yeah, technically they are, and as you said they started to take one of the main advantages of a bigger sensor away: higher pixel pitch at same resolution. Smaller sensors with smaller photosites definitely had a disadvantage in low light at high ISO due to their smaller photosites, but now they are loading FF sensors with 50/60MP and even the new GFX100(S) has reached the pixel pitch of Fujis APSC sensors…🤷🏼♂️😄 and you can clearly see these new FF / MF sensors struggling at high ISOs
I use both for street photography and didn't notice mention worthy difference. A Canon 7D with the 18-135mm kit lens is a wonderful combo for capturing any street scene or action. However, when I need to include a larger area in the frame or shoot a portraiture in the street, the FF is better. BTW, I'm always on RAW.

Sometimes I use the apc-s mode in my camera to get that extra reach sure I’ll admit to that but when it comes to lenses, if you are doing professional work you need professional lenses🤷🏼♂️ that also depends on what type of work you do and what type of photography you are going to do but I rarely change my aperture from 2.8 because in my pictures it makes all of the difference, and you just cannot get the same results of a full frame 2.8 camera and a lens with an apc-s camera and a standard aperture lens. But this is just my personal opinion, I do agree with you though. If you these little things don’t matter to you or if you are doing for hobby then you probably don’t need all the fancy and expensive gear but if you are a professional and looking to make a living out of this then unfortunately you do need to spend more money and get better gear but your skills as a photographer is just as important if not more. Camera and lenses just help you take better pictures. You need to be skilled enough to know what you are doing and know how your camera is going to react in different situations
My brother in Allah/Christ/Jehovah, this is within the context of street photography where the majority of images are shot from f/4-f/22. I don’t think anywhere in Doriyan’s video he mentions you are any less professional for using less professional gear. I don’t believe he mentioned professional photography at any point, opinions aside! There is nothing wrong with your opinion as it is absolutely valid but your comment is misplaced, to tell you the truth, and adds nothing to the conversation that Doriyan posed.
though i see where you’re coming from, have to respectfully disagree with some of this.
for example, a colleague of mine has been shooting for Nike and Adidas (among other brands) for almost two years now, and just recently moved from his kit lens. affords his home with it.
the x100v isn’t considered to be the ideal “pro” body, but i’ve done work for amazon studios and other organizations with that, the x-h1 and the x-pro with f2 primes. plenty of people utilize the higher ends of their lenses, but low aperture for sure has its uses.
i will say, if you have the income to advance the gear, yeah that makes sense, but in the my experience and those of many i know, it really boils down to light, compositions and networking.
and especially in street photography where i was discussing it, its not a requirement at all
Pretty sure he made it clear that this video is within the Street Photography genre. I use APS-C for Pro work and I don't know why people gush over full frame quality that much when you can achieve the same results with a lighter gear, If i wanted more depth and resolution then I might as well get a GFX 100S over a Full Frame Sony/Nikon/Canon. Also F2 lenses do exist in lighter more compact body to get to "2.8 iN fUlL frAmE tErmS" If you really consider yourself as a professional you know that you can pull off great images if not better with "lesser" cameras. Photographers who tend to blame gear over their skills is just one of the reasons why beginner photographers try to look for expensive gear even tho they haven't achieved much in photography yet.
@@doriyancoleman oh yeah for sure it’s not a necessity but more of a preference. I mean you could make a feature film using an iphone as long as it looks good then it doesn’t matter. Just comes down to preferences. And I recently learned that during the production of the batman, the car chase scene between the batman and the penguin was shot by 2 different vintage lenses that cost less than $300 which I thought it was crazy!
Hello,
I’m a professional and I’ve gotten and continue to get paid using kit lenses and shooting majority of shots at f4. Especially for studio portraits which begin at 5.6 to 8.
I don’t need fancy gear because my skills are developed and also because saying you need an f2.8 or faster lens is just a farce. Stop speaking for “professionals”. We don’t talk this ever.
What does the Leica have that the Fuji XE4 doesn't? Well, to judge from the moaning I heard from some Fuji users, for vastly more money it must certainly have a super chonky grip.
So much sense in this vid. With slightly wider lenses, even autofocus is not that meaningful in street photography - meaning you can benefit from the extremely low prices of manual focus primes.
that’s fair! as much as i can’t wait to try Leica one day, when you really get down to it, all you really need is a camera and a lens to do street photography.
and 100%. i was recently exposed to the manual focus life, and it’s so much fun. ttartisan for now, but voigtlander in the future 👀
You can print the image?
Mask On Nurse Marty
one of these days i’ll get to finally buying a printer 😂
I even start to dislike the Marketing wording „full frame“ … „Full“ sounds like no compromise, but in reality is just a little Mini Sensor compared to Medium/Large Format. See what they did there?😄 „Medium“ sounds even smaller than „Full“😂 … so yeah, many people got succesfully mislead into thinking 35mm is the real deal…
100% agree, there’s always a bigger fish
i’m gonna start calling aps-c “super 35” lol
after all, the sensors are nearly the same. take that, marketing 😂
@@doriyancoleman yeah, technically they are, and as you said they started to take one of the main advantages of a bigger sensor away: higher pixel pitch at same resolution. Smaller sensors with smaller photosites definitely had a disadvantage in low light at high ISO due to their smaller photosites, but now they are loading FF sensors with 50/60MP and even the new GFX100(S) has reached the pixel pitch of Fujis APSC sensors…🤷🏼♂️😄 and you can clearly see these new FF / MF sensors struggling at high ISOs
💯
much love Parey 🙏🏾
1000% treu, sold my nikon z6II for a fujifilm xe4 and i am 5000% happyer with it
happy shooting 🤝
I use both for street photography and didn't notice mention worthy difference. A Canon 7D with the 18-135mm kit lens is a wonderful combo for capturing any street scene or action.
However, when I need to include a larger area in the frame or shoot a portraiture in the street, the FF is better.
BTW, I'm always on RAW.
definitely depends on preferences and use cases 🙏🏾
Fstoppers proved that dslr cameras having shallower depth of field is actually a myth
i’ll have to look into this!
The mirror, of course, doesn’t make any difference..
i mean... i dont understand how people can forget that half of the 24 hour cycle is night. . . full frame is king imo
a 50 is a fifty IS A 50.
is a 50!
