I've been a RUclipsr 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 .
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.
@@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!
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.
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!
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😊
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.
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 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
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.
FF doesnt have any better wide shot capability. He said "when you put the same lens on apsc"... but you don't. You'd have the equivalent apsc lens. I use 10mm lenses on apsc for real estate, you use 15mm. Both are same.
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. 😉
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.
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.
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.
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.
I use a crop sensor cam, with a speedbooster when needed. So I can shoot @ 1.6x crop or 1.1x crop while gaining a stop of light. My only gripe is lack of IBIS, but I could have solved that by getting a higher end camera. Next time for sure!
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.
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.
3:59 , an APS-C does not give you more tele or more distance, it just gives you a smaller part of the photo, the middle part. That middle part can also be cut out from the full frame photo. Same with 4:30 and sportsevent, it is really not true what you are saying. Sports can be done full frame very well, crop later on your computer! Now having a dx function to select that middle part of a full frame sensor can be great if you want more shutterspeed or know that the photo is gonna be cropped anyway.
You are correct regarding photos however with video it's totally different. You can't crop into the video in post without loosing resolution. Putting a full frame camera in crop mode will make a 50mm give you the reach of an 80mm effectively giving you to lenses but this would only be relevant for video.
@@FulaanCreative Cropping in photo also means loosing resolution so I don't see the difference. If you don't want to loose resolution you can allways go Full frame and have more resolution to begin with or use a 1.5 extender. See also ruclips.net/video/Pg0KbvOHptY/видео.html
@@HansKeesom I think you misunderstood. I am saying that when cropping in video you don't lose resolution.... It will still be a 4k image or whatever resolution your camera shoots video in...
@@FulaanCreative Seem to me that what you call cropping I will call zooming. Cropping always looses resolution, zooming not as long as you do it optically. Let's agree to disagree and leave it to readers to make up their mind.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Own Nikon Z30, and must say, I am pleasantly surprised with quality that comes out of that body. I routinely use footage from my Z30 mixed with FF footage, and nobody can tell difference. The low light issue - no issue at all. Main thing is - don't get confused by all this talk. Don't get discouraged - buy a camera, any sensor camera, and just shoot
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?
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
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.
Cost makes a huge difference. Full frame are expensive and their lenses and also more expensive than APS-C lenses. For most people watching this video APS-C will more than enough. Benefits of APS-C are smaller bodies and lenses make it easier to carry if you are using for personal use, much cheaper than full frames, and picture quality is still great and professional looking.
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
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
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.
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.
I remeber a very wise and pragmatic photographer commenting on sensor size. I cannot remember the exact wording, but the gist was that even the camera on your phone takes far better pictures than the worlds best camera left at home because it is too bulky to carry with you at all times. I suspect that we will eventually reach a point where the quality of the smaller sensors is more than good enough for most people to not to be able to tell the difference in the result in anything other than the closest inspection, much in the way that the gap between reel-to-reel and compact cassette narrowed over time. I appreciate how the differences in sensor size affects the picture taken with the same lens, however I would have thought it more appropriate to compare how they perform with an 'equivalent' lens - for example the Canon EF-S 11-22mm lens is equivalent to an 18-35mm lens on a full frame.
With decades of photography experience under my belt, I find that the crop vs. full-frame sensor debate is often blown out of proportion. A talented photographer using quality lenses can produce stunning images, regardless of the sensor format. Ultimately, technique and artistic vision play a much more significant role than the technical specs of the sensor size. Let’s be real: most people today can’t tell the make, model, or sensor size of an image just by looking at it on their phone or computer. The discussions around these issues often feel like a form of gaslighting, highlighting what are essentially first-world problems that are undetectable to the naked eye.
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.
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...
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.
I need to buy a budget camera , that would be great for photos and videos, but mostly i need one for shooting while I’m working. I do make-up tattoo and want to create an online course where I need videos closer to my client’s brows, eyes or lips. I’m really having a hard time choosing one. It also confuses me what lense to get. Any suggestions ? 😢
Your first point doesn't hold much weight because you can purchase any lens to suit the type of camera you're using. For instance, for wide shots on a crop sensor, you can opt for a 10mm lens instead of a 16mm. The only time you'd be significantly affected is if you're switching between full-frame and APS-C cameras and plan on using your existing lenses on the new system.
Many camera systems don't have any 10mm aps-c options and the ones that do only have a few options mostly with slower apertures. In full frame most systems have multiple 16mm options, with fast apertures. Lumix 18mm f1.8, Sigma 16mm f1.8, Canon 15-35 f2.8, Sony 15-35 f2.8 etc...
will hope you read this... i'm glad i found your channel, it has all the details anyone like me would need, all without dragged out videos, which is a tough combo to nail, thanks for nailing it. I've been binging your channel for a couple of days now, found out about it cause i've been looking at buying m50 mark 2 for a while, but I guess i'm hooked to the content anyway, it's gonna be great help im sure even after i've made the purchase as I see you've got some tips to use the camera as well & i'm sure more stuff is on the way, lucky for me, you mention m50 a lot, which is great, cause I know i'll have a place to come to learn stuff, as i'm gonna be working with a dslr first time! I knew this day was going to come when i'll try and up the game of my channel and dare to move from voiceovers to talking heads, but I didn't expect to find such a fast paced, fun channel on the way, I mean it is fast paced and relaxing at the same time, it's good stuff. All I'll say is, wish me luck with the talking heads and b-rolls i'll be trying my luck at, and since you said in your 3rd video that m50 could give grainy results, I guess i'll be rewatching your tips to work my way around as I'm hoping my talking heads to be in lowlights with lots of RGBs in the background, though i'm probably getting m50 mark2, but I believe it's the same camera for the most part as you mentioned a couple of times, let's see how it goes. But ya, just wanted to stop by and say hi, you're doing it good, thanks for sharing the knowledge, the wisdom, and please keep it up :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
thank you!! I have been using my Huawei P30pro to shoot video and occasionally my cannon sx40 proshot and both are terrible in low light conditions. The results you are getting in this video are exactly what I am looking for. Seriously appreciate the information you share 🙌🙌 @@FulaanCreative
Hi brother, indonesian here.. I have a lumix gh5, until now .. I do not feel the lack of this camera. and quite satisfied with the resulting image. Which is the best? The best that suits your needs.
@@FulaanCreative that's the wise word. But subjectively, I prefer the MFT sensor, small, affordable price with great features. For a low light solution, I would invest in a lamp, as well as a large aperture lens. For landscape needs, I just buy a lens of at least 7mm. Especially for zoom/telephoto needs... the MFT sensor will be very helpful for the purpose of saving money.
Is the r6ii full frame worth $1500 more than the apsc r7? I’m a landscape photographer who has always shot on apsc and considering the switch but confused.
@@FulaanCreative the lack of weather sealing in the r8 concerns me as a landscape photographer. So it leaves me in the r7 vs r6ii conversation. The prices however differ greatly. Having never used a full frame it’s hard to justify because I have no personal experience to draw on…. Hence the question and thus the confusion
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.

I've been a RUclipsr 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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sony A7R5 does 35mm crop mode. My dream camera.
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.
FF doesnt have any better wide shot capability. He said "when you put the same lens on apsc"... but you don't. You'd have the equivalent apsc lens. I use 10mm lenses on apsc for real estate, you use 15mm. Both are same.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
Very much appreciated Fulaan for the informative video and your very helpful suggestions! I learnt a lot! Good luck!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for keeping it simple, subbed for life!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
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.
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.
I use a crop sensor cam, with a speedbooster when needed. So I can shoot @ 1.6x crop or 1.1x crop while gaining a stop of light. My only gripe is lack of IBIS, but I could have solved that by getting a higher end camera. Next time for sure!
I learn so much from your videos!!! Thank you😊
You are so welcome!
talk about a simple and straightforward review 🙌🙌🙌
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.
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.
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.
3:59 , an APS-C does not give you more tele or more distance, it just gives you a smaller part of the photo, the middle part. That middle part can also be cut out from the full frame photo.
Same with 4:30 and sportsevent, it is really not true what you are saying. Sports can be done full frame very well, crop later on your computer!
Now having a dx function to select that middle part of a full frame sensor can be great if you want more shutterspeed or know that the photo is gonna be cropped anyway.
You are correct regarding photos however with video it's totally different. You can't crop into the video in post without loosing resolution. Putting a full frame camera in crop mode will make a 50mm give you the reach of an 80mm effectively giving you to lenses but this would only be relevant for video.
@@FulaanCreative Cropping in photo also means loosing resolution so I don't see the difference.
If you don't want to loose resolution you can allways go Full frame and have more resolution to begin with or use a 1.5 extender.
See also ruclips.net/video/Pg0KbvOHptY/видео.html
@@HansKeesom I think you misunderstood. I am saying that when cropping in video you don't lose resolution.... It will still be a 4k image or whatever resolution your camera shoots video in...
@@FulaanCreative Seem to me that what you call cropping I will call zooming.
Cropping always looses resolution, zooming not as long as you do it optically.
Let's agree to disagree and leave it to readers to make up their mind.
@@HansKeesom No issue but just for the record in Canon full frame cameras the aps-c mode is called "movie crop mode"
Your videos are awesome! Helped me so much in deciding which camera to get!!
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.
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! : )
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.

Own Nikon Z30, and must say, I am pleasantly surprised with quality that comes out of that body. I routinely use footage from my Z30 mixed with FF footage, and nobody can tell difference. The low light issue - no issue at all. Main thing is - don't get confused by all this talk. Don't get discouraged - buy a camera, any sensor camera, and just shoot
Thanks for sharing that. I'm thinking of getting a Z50.
one of the best videos on explaining full frame vs crop sensor.

Thanks James! I appreciate it.
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?
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
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.
Cost makes a huge difference. Full frame are expensive and their lenses and also more expensive than APS-C lenses. For most people watching this video APS-C will more than enough. Benefits of APS-C are smaller bodies and lenses make it easier to carry if you are using for personal use, much cheaper than full frames, and picture quality is still great and professional looking.
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.
You are a gifted teacher. Well done
Thank you!
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👋
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.
Both! Get both! They’re very much needed.
Expensive toys man!
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.
I remeber a very wise and pragmatic photographer commenting on sensor size. I cannot remember the exact wording, but the gist was that even the camera on your phone takes far better pictures than the worlds best camera left at home because it is too bulky to carry with you at all times.
I suspect that we will eventually reach a point where the quality of the smaller sensors is more than good enough for most people to not to be able to tell the difference in the result in anything other than the closest inspection, much in the way that the gap between reel-to-reel and compact cassette narrowed over time.
I appreciate how the differences in sensor size affects the picture taken with the same lens, however I would have thought it more appropriate to compare how they perform with an 'equivalent' lens - for example the Canon EF-S 11-22mm lens is equivalent to an 18-35mm lens on a full frame.
With decades of photography experience under my belt, I find that the crop vs. full-frame sensor debate is often blown out of proportion.
A talented photographer using quality lenses can produce stunning images, regardless of the sensor format. Ultimately, technique and artistic vision play a much more significant role than the technical specs of the sensor size.
Let’s be real: most people today can’t tell the make, model, or sensor size of an image just by looking at it on their phone or computer. The discussions around these issues often feel like a form of gaslighting, highlighting what are essentially first-world problems that are undetectable to the naked eye.
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.
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.
What is the best camera for making videos for tiktoks shorts and reels
Lumix S5II in my opinion.
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.
Can you make a video for fitness Mic’d up videos in the gym and how the R50 would work
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

Can i just use the zoom out feature on an apsc camera to achieve what a full frame camera does?
Hi. Do you know which (APSC or full frame) might be best for photographing art to make art prints?
Both would be fine especially if they have at least 24 megapixel sensors

I need to buy a budget camera , that would be great for photos and videos, but mostly i need one for shooting while I’m working. I do make-up tattoo and want to create an online course where I need videos closer to my client’s brows, eyes or lips.
I’m really having a hard time choosing one. It also confuses me what lense to get. Any suggestions ? 😢
Mannn u broke that DOWN!! I feel like I understand it 100% 🤓🤓🤓👨🏽🏫👨🏽🏫
Awesome! Glad it helped : )
Your first point doesn't hold much weight because you can purchase any lens to suit the type of camera you're using. For instance, for wide shots on a crop sensor, you can opt for a 10mm lens instead of a 16mm. The only time you'd be significantly affected is if you're switching between full-frame and APS-C cameras and plan on using your existing lenses on the new system.
Many camera systems don't have any 10mm aps-c options and the ones that do only have a few options mostly with slower apertures. In full frame most systems have multiple 16mm options, with fast apertures. Lumix 18mm f1.8, Sigma 16mm f1.8, Canon 15-35 f2.8, Sony 15-35 f2.8 etc...
will hope you read this...
i'm glad i found your channel, it has all the details anyone like me would need, all without dragged out videos, which is a tough combo to nail, thanks for nailing it.
I've been binging your channel for a couple of days now, found out about it cause i've been looking at buying m50 mark 2 for a while, but I guess i'm hooked to the content anyway, it's gonna be great help im sure even after i've made the purchase as I see you've got some tips to use the camera as well & i'm sure more stuff is on the way, lucky for me, you mention m50 a lot, which is great, cause I know i'll have a place to come to learn stuff, as i'm gonna be working with a dslr first time!
I knew this day was going to come when i'll try and up the game of my channel and dare to move from voiceovers to talking heads, but I didn't expect to find such a fast paced, fun channel on the way, I mean it is fast paced and relaxing at the same time, it's good stuff.
All I'll say is, wish me luck with the talking heads and b-rolls i'll be trying my luck at, and since you said in your 3rd video that m50 could give grainy results, I guess i'll be rewatching your tips to work my way around as I'm hoping my talking heads to be in lowlights with lots of RGBs in the background, though i'm probably getting m50 mark2, but I believe it's the same camera for the most part as you mentioned a couple of times, let's see how it goes.
But ya, just wanted to stop by and say hi, you're doing it good, thanks for sharing the knowledge, the wisdom, and please keep it up :)
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I really do appreciate it. I'm glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much for making it easy. ❤
You are so welcome!
Usually the aps- c are more compact and lightweight. The full frame batteries tend to be larger so they do last long.
True
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.
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.
thank you for the information, very clear, and concise
You are welcome. I appreciate the kind comment.
@@FulaanCreativeit's my pleasure
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.
So, should a medium format sensor be better then?
Not necessarily.
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.
Thanks for the solid info brother!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
1:54 If you are going to use 1.5/1.6 for APSC, then you can't use 0 for FF.
You'd need to use 1 for FF.
Unless you plan on mutiplying 50mm by 0.
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.
What program do you use to edit your videos I have a Mac book and new to this
I use Davinci resolve and it's the best in my opinion.
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.
Ain't no polar bears 🐨 in Africa bruh 🤣
Lol
This guy is so good😊
What if your camera have an APSC sensor but with one of the latest processor
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.
You literally answer my concern in 3 minutes. 💪
Glad to hear it!
What brand camera are you using to record yourself at the your desk
?
Used the EOS R on this vid.
thank you!! I have been using my Huawei P30pro to shoot video and occasionally my cannon sx40 proshot and both are terrible in low light conditions. The results you are getting in this video are exactly what I am looking for. Seriously appreciate the information you share 🙌🙌 @@FulaanCreative
I'm totally a noob in full frame. If I'm using a Sony ZV-E10 with an 11mm lens, what is the equivalent lens size for a full frame?
About 17mm
Honestly, you just killed most bloggers and talking head cameras out there. Thank you for keeping it real.
: )
Would you use full frame camera for up close videos for wrestling or jiu jitsu matches and cars? Or crop sensor?
Excellent: good information, clearly presented. I'm helping a buddy get into mirrorless: sending her this!
Thanks! :)
Ma Sha Allah,..you explained very wisely.❤👉🇧🇩
Alhamdulilaah. Thanks bro
@@FulaanCreative 🫡❤️
what about Fujifilm for the apsc category...)) xh2 xh2s and many more :D
Hi brother, indonesian here..
I have a lumix gh5, until now .. I do not feel the lack of this camera. and quite satisfied with the resulting image.
Which is the best? The best that suits your needs.
Hello. Yes exactly. Every persons needs are different.
@@FulaanCreative that's the wise word.
But subjectively, I prefer the MFT sensor, small, affordable price with great features. For a low light solution, I would invest in a lamp, as well as a large aperture lens.
For landscape needs, I just buy a lens of at least 7mm. Especially for zoom/telephoto needs... the MFT sensor will be very helpful for the purpose of saving money.
Is the r6ii full frame worth $1500 more than the apsc r7? I’m a landscape photographer who has always shot on apsc and considering the switch but confused.
I like the R8 better but the R7 is also very good. It all depends what you prefer and what you need
@@FulaanCreative the lack of weather sealing in the r8 concerns me as a landscape photographer. So it leaves me in the r7 vs r6ii conversation. The prices however differ greatly. Having never used a full frame it’s hard to justify because I have no personal experience to draw on…. Hence the question and thus the confusion
@@DPG_photo The Lumix S5 II is also worth a look. You can adapt EF and EF-S lenses on it as well
❤❤ Thanks very nice video ..
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.
Nice video, good story 🎉
