I’m basically a drone pilot now trying to learn about photographing. I have searched and watched several videos explaining really basic subjects, like understanding sensors. For me as a beginner, this was by far the best video I’ve seen. Thank you so much😊😊
You are welcome Sven 👍
I learned totally nothing new from this video. Yet, I watched it to the end because it was so clear and enjoyable. Great job!
Thanks for the comments, appreciate that 👍
This has been the most helpful explanation of sensor size that I have come across. Fantastic :)
Thanks Brian 😊
Really well done! You made it easy and clear but at the same time straight to the point (the three questions) without all technical info and without pointing at the user capabilities. Thank you.
Your welcome, glad it helped😊
Probably one of the best video's I have seen for a beginner. Thanks.
Glad it helped 😊
I do like the fact that there is a camera for everybody .I used to use a Olympus OM1 and OM10 in the 80s.I am pensioner now.I can only afford a eos 2000d.its been a very big learning curve going to digital.Thanks to this video, it seems im OK? with what I got.thanks so much.
Hello Mark ! Greetings from Canada ! Just re-watched this video as I often do with your videos ! It re confirmed again alot of questions and answers which I had ! Thanks so much for being there for us all !
🇨🇦🤗🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, mate. Get so much great information from these awesome TH-cam channels. Thanks 👍🏻
Glad to help👍
I want to congratulate you for your explanations, the way you speak is so clear that I hardly need the subtiles, congratulations
Once again, an excellent well produced video! You’ve taken a potentially confusing subject, and with great demos made it simple for the masses. I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you Scott👍
Excellent and clear explanation of the various size sensor, best that I have seen. Thank you!!
Best description i have got yet between the different camera censors size.
Great video as always. Explained very clearly. Thanks.
You're welcome 😊
I loved the absolute clarity in this video. Well constructed, clearly explained. Will watch more from this source. I chose micro 4:3 exactly for the reasons outlined and am very happy with my choice.
👍
This looks to me like my choice as well. Can't wait to get it!
This was a great explaination Marc and I love your enthusiasm and the way you explain things.
Thanks Tony 👍
Best most practical tutorial video on camera sensors I've seen yet on TH-cam, and I have seen most of them.
Thank you Charles, glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant and perfect for anyone in two [or three] minds about which camera system they should invest in!
Well done and keep up the great work.
Thanks Neil
Great info. I love the way you showed the photos on top of each other to explain how different sensor sizes affect how much of the image gets removed as you move down in sensor size at the same focal length.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well constructed mate and thanks for the hard work and clarifying this to all photographers :)
Cheers Jimmy, glad you like it. Hope to catch up soon 😊
Nice explanation. I personally own a full frame Canon kit and a M 4/3 Olympus Kit. I purchased my Canon igear around 2005 when my kids were in middle/high school sports and wanted to capture great pictures of these moments in time. 4 years ago I purchased some Olympus gear for a traveling vacation. Now I am shooting everything on Olympus and my Canon gear is collecting dust. I occasionally work as a professional as a second photographer at weddings and music concerts and love taking pictures of pets and our grand children! The limitation 99% of the time is the operator of the the equipment!
Great video, pitched right. Helpful and clear. Thanks!
Thanks Paul, you're welcome 😊
Great video & very well explained.. Thanks for sharing..
You're welcome 👍
Brilliant video, Mark! Thanks for a clear and helpful presentation of the pros and cons of each system. I am an Olympus user, and I'm quite happy with both the size and image quality (as well as the price) of my system. Thanks again!
Thank you👍
Which Camera Do You Have Of Olympus?
@@zainbhai6144 hi, it's the em1 mkii. Thanks
I am the proud owner and user of a Canon 500d, it does everything I expect of it and more, the camera has taught me lots, with its kit lenses, I use it in manual mode, I bought it when the model first came out and won't be changing it anytime soon.
kit lenses are awesome !!- me thinks that the full framers are secretly jealous of the range , and versatility of these unsung heroes and the way crop sensor users use them so well
I thoroughly appreciate your method of actively demonstrating differences in sensor sizes by showing us what each is capable of achieving at given local lengths. Thanks also for demonstrating how some shortcomings may be compensated for. Very appreciative.
Your welcome George😊
Informative indeed,thanks Marc
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent job explaining these concepts, this is one of the better channels out there.
Thank you Terry 😊
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Crystal clear explanation! 👍
You're welcome 👍
Very helpful and clear advice.Thank you!
Your Welcome 👍
Great video, very detail explanation with illustration! IMO, one of the best video for sensor size comparison!
Thank you, appreciate the comments 👍
Thanks for the brilliant explanation. Now I fully understand the "equivalent" to full frame jargon. On the weight of this video I have now subbed. Looking forward to more great content.
Thanks Pasta, welcome aboard 👍
So clear! Thank you!
You are welcome Claudio 👍
Thanks so much again ! Informative , enjoyable , and most importantly well said ! 🤗
Thank you, appreciate the comments 👍
Brilliant explanations- thank you
You're welcome 👍
This is as good as it gets! Thank you!
You're welcome 👍
Very HONEST and TOTAL, FULLY DETAILED explanation on Digital Cameras Sensor Sizes and Lens kits.
Thank you very much, lot of greetings for sharing it!!!
Thank you, appreciate the comments 👍
crystal clear!! Thank you
You're welcome 👍
This is by far the best explanation video I've ever seen on TH-cam. So clear and precise and slow enough for me to understand as I have ADHD so thank you sir you have helped me alot to pursue my photography hobby :)
Now I just have to learn about mirrorless vs DLSR vs compact Digital camera ( like P900 )
And also how to know what settings to use in every shooting situation lol.
That was very well put for people to understand, thank you. I had already reached the conclusion that micro fourthirds was the optimum solution for me personally, after having looked at many excellent quality photos taken with them, and, after liking SLR 35mm years ago, and getting on ok with very small compact camera’s with much smaller sensors used while travelling in the meantime. So M43 is a huge upgrade from those, while providing many of the benefits of my old SLR. The added incentive was becoming disabled, and your point about full kit size and weight is personally very significant. I have a large unwieldy camera bag at home, to store lenses and other gear in, and have just ordered a small bag to take a Lumix G95 camera with a fitted lens, and up to 2 other lenses for days out. The size and weight of the M43 lenses has been a very nice surprise, and also, the price and size of some of the excellent vintage lenses has been good news too. I’ve had a couple of bargains with Pentax SMC lenses, such as a mint condition 55mm f 1.8 for under £40. Which becomes a 110mm in M43. I’m hoping to get back into monochrome photography, but mostly into astrophotography, and with a cheap lightweight tripod - legs not extended for strength, I’ve worked out the weight will be fine if I bin the junk camera mount and replace with a really good ballhead, Mount, I’ll be able to sit down to do Astro, thanks to the G95’s twisty touchscreen. Standing around in the cold doesn’t work for me any more. Thanks again, and best wishes. Bob.
Thank you. Very interesting and informative.

This was so helpfull. Thank you 😊
You're welcome 👍
Hi: This was a very well detailed and positioned comparison of the various system. I have recently moved from a Nikon D810 system with big glass over to the Olympus M1Mii with pro level glass. I agree with all of your points, but one additional benefit comes from when you are actually travelling on an airplane. Because you can use a smaller camera bag, you are more likely not to draw attention to yourself at the gate. Cheers, Keith Pinn (Barrie, Ontario Canada)
New FF mirorless are comparable in size imho, at least for the above point. You may still have a lens size advantage but that depends on your shooting style.
Thanks Armando for your response. Keep Safe!
Very good explanation.
Thank you 👍
Very helpful !👍

Outstanding presentation. It confirmed my decision to switch from a Nikon FF to Panasonic Lumix/Leica Micro43 system. I am a wildlife photographer who travels the world creating slide shows (stories) with a strong conservation message.
Thanks Tom 👍
I'm in my 80s and recently bought an Olympus 4/3 pen kit and fisheye lens. Having great fun. You have confirmed I've made the right decision. Thank you.
Great to hear! 😊
Incredible!!!
Great video, as always! Another question worth considering is, what kinds of photos do you plan on taking? If you’re planning to shoot wildlife or sports, for instance, you may want to take advantage of the extra reach that the crop factor gives you. A 300mm lens on a micro 4:3 gives you the equivalent of 600mm on a full frame, and you can get it for a fraction of the cost. This is why even some pros use APS-C or 4:3 cameras for long wildlife shots. But maybe this is the only type of photography for which this consideration really matters? It’s true that at the other end of the range, the crop factor works against you (14mm is a very wide angle on full frame, but the equivalent of a modestly wide 28mm on a 4:3), but manufacturers do a lot to account for this by offering significantly wider focal lengths as “standard” (by which I mean a normal-use kit lens, as opposed to special-effect such as fisheyes) for smaller sensors than they do for full frame. But at the long end, the advantages of a smaller sensor should
not be overlooked!
Agreed!
great explanation i understand now the difference of sensors💯
Great video as always!
👍
This is such a great video. Mark is a fantastic teacher. I would love to tale a photo walk with him. Great stuff Mark.
Glad you enjoyed it
great explanation
I honestly found this video really interesting I only have an amateur camera and I've only really just got into it I'm so grateful that there are people out there that can share the information like this with people like us just shows how I don't know anything about photography just going to have to keep watching
Glad you liked it Jamie!
Thanks. Now I am clear about what system I want.
You are welcome
Boy, I wish his video was around when I first started photography! Fine presentation.
Thank you Mike👍
I really needed this explainer video. I’m hoping to invest in an upgrade system and now feel better informed. Thanks!
No worries 👍
Thank you so much for this video
You are so welcome!
Very good video very clear and simple
Thanks 😊👍
Thank you for a very helpful video!!
👍
Well explained sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much , that's exactly what I want.
You're welcome 👍
Best explanation I’ve seen yet and I’ve seen LOTS these past two years! Thanks. 👍
Thank you, appreciate the comments 👍
Just come across this video. I was struggling with understanding different sensor types but this explained them really well and straightforward. At least I now have a starting point for when I come to upgrade from my bridge camera.
You're welcome Duncan :)
A lot of good information to better understand all the options
Thank you Dave😊
Best video by far on explaining the differences between sensor sizes and pro's and con's. I was considering upgrading aps-c lens to full frame. after watching this i changed my mind. thanks for saving me some money.
Awesome, thank you! 😊
@@theschoolofphotography for sharper pictures, would you recommend a full frame lens on a aps-c body, if i am willing to spend the money? is it worth the money?
Great video... Thanks...!!!
You're welcome 👍
Watched this when it went live, just watched it again passing the time here .. :)
thanks for the video
You're welcome👍
Nice video i am a amateur photographer and this has helped me to decide what camera i am going to by next keep up the good work on the video very easy to understand thank you Mark
Glad to help Roy👍
Great stuff as ever.
Cheers John 👍
The best explanation for common people evah!
I'm planning to use your video as a reference for my video in my language. I hope you don't mind! Keep the good work, mate!
I really appreciate this video as I don't feel a huge sense of loss for not buying a Full Frame camera as my first camera. I purchases a beginner Canon EOS Rebel T5 a few months back with excitement in getting into Astrophotography and have been impressed with the quality. Since then I've bought some lenses and thought, "Oh man, I want more landscape style shots with the Milkyway". My first wide lense purchased was a Tokina 12-24mm aspherical and a Rokinon 8mm Fisheye. Haven't tried the new lenses at night yet, however, just in comparison to the 18mm kit lens was a huge comparison. I'm very happy with my purchase as it was in budget, and I continue to be impressed with a camera from 2011. Love this Camera! Thanks for this Video. It settles the issue for me!
You are welcome, glad it helped 👍
Very good video really helpful
👍
Great info 👍
Thank you 🙏
