There's also something to be said about "The best camera is the one you have with you". I shoot Fujifilm, the AF performance is sub-par, its an APSC sensor, the menus are outdated, the app is wonky. But I just LOVE holding this camera, and using it, and bringing it out, and the lenses are so nice. The camera ENCOURAGES me to want to go out and use it and play with it. I think that's super important too, even if you are a professional! You can achieve anything if you ENJOY your equipment and it makes you happy :)

Most photography sites focus on generalizing everything: camera choices, lens choices, camera settings, camera reviews and what camera is “best for you”. Very few of them even acknowledge that we’re all inspired for different reasons and shoot different subjects. I appreciate that you acknowledge this simple truth.

Simon, thanks for the best explanation of the differences in sensor sizes I’ve ever heard. A couple of years ago I switched from Canon full frame down to Olympus micro 4/3. The change made sense for me because as an older photographer, I am 67, the weight and bulk of a full frame system was getting in my way of the joy photography. I wanted to upgrade to a mirrorless system and I didn’t have a fortune to spend on the new system. I got two bodies and a good selection of lenses for half the price of full frame. And I’m a happier photographer. I’m pulling my camera out and shooting a lot more than I did before. Different strokes for different folks. And I’m not saying that sometime in the future, I might not get back into full frame for some reason. After all cameras are just tools, and we get the tools we need for the jobs at hand. Again, thanks so much.

I am so glad that you publish this video at this time, because I have been struggling with the idea of getting a full frame camera. I shoot with a Nikon D7500. I think I would rather go to a mirrorless so I can relieve myself with some of the weight of my Nikon. I knew that a full frame would just be more weight, but I didn't realize the difference of how the photos look. I was looking at a full frame because of having more light and I often should an old abandoned houses. I think I would just rather go mirrorless or just get some really good lenses for lowlight situations. Thanks again for all the great info you share which other photographers are not willing to do! 😊

I switched from APSC to Mirrorless Full Frame, and for my case, landscape photography in some difficult light conditions, the performance of full frame to capturing high dynamic range is much better. It helps to preserve dark tones and high lights.

I have learned more from your videos than from anyone else on RU-vid, it covers everything and are easy to understand for me as a French speaker. Because of you i ended up investing more than 4000 dollars in canons (R8 + RF 24+105 F4 + 50 mm f1.8 + canon m50 mark ii + viltrox adapter and speed booster + several lenses). Thank you for your work and knowledge your sharing with us , keep up the good work . Sorry if i made mistakes in my comment , English is not my mothertongue language .

You're like some kind camera Guru God, I was so confused as I just bought my first camera the R50 just 2 weeks ago and I was so lost as to why I only get subpar photos compared to my phone. I quickly went down the rabbit hole of watching videos about expenses lenses and lighting gear and I was like Wth the hell am I getting into, I'm broke I'll never afford these things. My head was spinning until I found this channel. The clean straight to the point presentations and clear wording has been my Saviour. Can't thank you enough for clearing things up so much for me. Your video about the Histogram was especially eye opening for me.

I went from a Z-50 (Very Nice Camera) to a D850. Zero regrets. The Z-50 was just too small for me to work intuitively and quickly. The 850 is a bit of a tank but it fits my grip much better. A true bonus has been the influx of great used lenses available. Love the channel Simon and congrats on 500,000 plus subscribers!

I'm so glad that you explain in a calm and methodical manner all the differences in sensor sizes. The main myth being that FF cameras give blurrier background just because of being FF, and not because you take the shots differently. I have met quite some people who'd swear that FF gives you blurrier background, without really explaining the Why. Anyway, thank you for the best videos on photography on RU-vid. You're a gem. And the 500k are well deserved.

After using Nikon Z50 (crop-sensor) more than 2 years, I switched to full-frame Canon R8. I have been using R8 for more than 6 months now. What genre of photography I do? Travelling, landscape, portraits of my family and friends. I use R8 with 2 main lenses: basic RF 24-105 f4-7.1, EF 70-200 f4. Yes, this combo is bigger than my old Nikon Z50 + 2 kit lenses. But, in my case, it was totally worth the switch (I also often use the RF 50mm F1.8). I explain a little bit: - for travel: the R8 is small enough to get it everywhere. I love how this camera manages a lot of situations: indoors photography (and I love to take indoor shots of palaces, churches, cathedrals etc). Even with the 'cheap' 24-105mm the image quality is much better overall: colors, noise etc. Also, for outdoor, the images are superior: much detailed, the highlights are recovered much better, also the details in the shadows are better. Now, I feel that I worry less about the dynamic range, I know I can recover highlights/shadows information in post-processing. And when you travel and walk the streets of old Italians, Greeks, Spanish towns, it is very comfortable to shots knowing the details will all be there. - landscape: as nature lover, I did also quite a lot of landscape photography. Not for selling, but also for landscape R8 is better (and not having the cutting-edge lenses). The details and the dynamic range make a lot the difference. - for portraits: oooo, yes, here it is absolutely no doubt the change was well worth it. The focus of R8 is amazing, the multiple way you can setup up how the camera will focus on subject is a big advantage. The subject tracking, again the high ISO management (when fast shutter speed needed), all is so good, worth every penny. With R8 I started to love portrait photography. - I didn't do wildlife. Except few tries on zoo, but this is not wildlife, with 70-200mm. And yes, you feel the need to have more reach, much longer focal length. But so far, so good, it is not my main interest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Conclusion: using this R8 is a joy, having a camera I can rely on for a lot of scenarios: indoors, outdoors, low light, portraits, speed ... Everything is better, is higher quality, is close to professional work I could do one day with this camera. For me for me it was worth.

I liked how you presented the advantages and disadvantages of both sensors. It’s a matter of what you photograph in my opinion. I bought a Fujifilm X-T5 crop sensor and I’m very happy with it. I used a Canon EOS RP for many years with some EF and RF lenses. The cost of a newer full frame body and RF lenses made me reconsider. At the end the Fujifilm system I owe now it’s more than enough for what I do as a hobbyist. The smaller size and lower price was very attracting without to mention its 40MP size. Thank you for the video.

It's no surprise your channel is growing since your tutorials are so easy to understand and so well-illustrated. You are my "aha" moment guru! this was timely because I just bought a used full-frame from a friend who has way too much gear. Haven't compared many images yet, though I do think I am getting better detail. The one negative I have run in to is one you mentioned - the weight and size. A little weight does make a big difference and since I have small hands with arthritic thumbs and wrists, I immediately noticed a problem when trying to do things like back button focus. QUESTION - how do you know if a LENS is full frame or crop sensor?

Congratulations! I used Canon APS-C cameras for 10 years for landscape and some wildlife. I bought the original EOS R when it came out because of the mirrorless features and improved noise characteristics and dynamic range. Most of my images are long exposures of Bald Cypress trees/knees in lakes. In this type of photography the scene dictates the field of view needed so full frame provides more options. But getting closer also reduces the depth of field. As a result I sometimes need to either use a smaller aperture, focus stack or let the background go out of focus. It just makes me have to think more about depth of field. There are tradeoffs when moving to full frame. I still use APS-C for birds and wildlife but now have the R7 for the eye tracking.

Congratulations on the 500K subscribers, Simon! We are the subscribers, of course, but we are here because of the quality of the content on this channel which is second to none. You deserve all the credit!... Thanks for another great video! A year ago, I bought a new camera after hesitating between the similarly priced Canon R7 (APSC) and R8 (full frame). I chose the R7 mainly for its build quality, its bigger battery, dual card slots, etc. I am mostly interested in landscape photography, so "close quarter" is not an issue. I like having more reach, when using my zoom lens, for the occasional wildlife photos. I thought the narrower field of view of the cropped sensor would be a limitation for landscape photo, but in reality, the wider the field of view, the more difficult it is to avoid obstructions and to find a composition (so many trees in Canada!). However, to compensate somewhat, I found a 7.5 mm f2.0 fisheye lens (12 mm full frame equivalent on an APSC) which I intend to use for indoor/architecture photos from time to time. I still think I do not really need a full frame camera, but I may change my mind someday, who knows...

Clear explanation as always. I actually use both full and crop frame sensors. Each has a unique advantage over the other. For longer reach, I prefer APSC cameras, but for better bokeh on portraits, Full Frame is my choice. If I go for a hike, APSC and their lenses are lighter to carry.

Well explained video again from Simon. The benefits of each sensor size is why I have both an APSC and a Full Frame in my gear stash. As much as people recommend just dropping my APS-C and buy a second full frame, I couldn't let go of the smaller format because of its small overall form factor esp. when you couple it with apsc lenses. This really gets very handy when on travel.

Hi Simon, I really love your videos. I've just recently bought an old near-mint Sony A7II to upgrade from my Nikon D5000 which was APSC. I mainly shoot street photography and sometimes live performances, which I felt the D5000 was particularly poor at. When I set the ISO beyond 1000 or so I could see the noise and the loss of details. I was under a budget, but I had a lot of old manual lenses, and owning an A7II really made me felt like shooting "digital film". I felt the upgrade was worth it for me, but I also do feel the extra weight and complexity of the new camera.

I have three crop senor canon cameras. I have used all of them and just have no need to buy a full frame camera. I use full frame lenses on them and get results that fills my needs. Since I sell my images I only get asked what I use from fellow photographers. The people buying the images don't care what camera or what editing software I use. They just want the image that fills their heart. I have always been a believer that the most important factor is the lenses and not the camera. I shoot wildlife and enjoy the reach I get with them. I also shoot other kinds of things and use lenses that fit the occasion. Even more important is the person behind the lens can make it work with what they own. The only time I would consider a new camera is when I have a need for one and can make enough to warrant the perchance price. Thanks for the info and keep it coming.

Great reminder for those of us craving full frame and for beginners who are confused by hype. I'm using my full frame Nikon for the backyard birds. With a 150-50mm it has helped me get shots that adapt to lighting better. However, I have been in search of a M43 or light weight option for travel. On the other hand, M43 lenses are getting HUGE. Then the smaller size issue is a moot one. You are to me, one of the top educators on RU-vid, Simon!

Great video Simon - you speak a lot of sense and say it exactly how it is. After getting back into photography recently via a Fuji X-H2 APS-C, I then got intrigued by M43 so also tried out an OM-1. Down the rabbit hole I went. M43 is poor, no good in low light, poor image quality etc etc. But, for what I shoot (which is essentially everything), and how I shoot it (generally with a young family in tow), I'm really valuing the small form factor of the M43 system. I went to an airshow yesterday with my OM-1.2 and 40-150 f2.8 (so 80-300 FF equiv.) and didn't even realise I had it with me. Seeing the guys and girls with FF and massive lenses on the front really made me realise that I just couldn't lug that around all day with everything else I need to do (and I wouldn't want to either). That doesn't mean anyone is wrong, it's just a case of to each their own. I can see the benefits of FF in some of my shooting situations, and I may well now offload the APS-C and get a FF for certain scenarios - in effect having the benefits of each system at both ends of the scale and ignoring the one in the middle. Either way the most important thing is the size of your sensor doesn't make you a better photographer - you do. Pick up the camera you have, go and, shoot it, and most importantly LEARN IT. That'll make you a far better photographer than continually buying 'better' gear (and it's significantly cheaper too!).

The D7100 is a wonderful camera and it takes beautiful pictures. That is my only APS-c camera. You can get some incredible cheap glass for the D7100 with legendary D lenses like the 180mm D and the 60mm D macro (the holy grail for macro being the 200mm f4 D, which is as good as any macro lens on the planet). You can always check out images for specific lenses on flickr. And of course, there are plenty of nice G lenses and even cheap as dirt AI-S F lenses.

Congrats on 500K!!! I recently traded my Canon 90D for a 5D Mark 4. I also have an EOS R which brings my APS-C days to a close. While I will miss the 1.6 crop factor shooting birds, I wont miss the camera vibration when shooting bursts. Nor will I miss the noise in most shots when the auto ISO goes to 6400, which frequently happened with the 90D. It's still a great camera body, with plenty of high end features, but full frame with Canon's "L" lenses...let's just say they were made for each other. Simon, keep up the magnificent work!

@johnwinter6061 2 месяца назад
An excellent summary of the differences. 'It depends' is so true. Simon has proved it and others have said it. Re bodies & lenses Body weights and sizes are decreasing. So too for lenses. Eg Canon's R series (mirrorless) 24-240 and 100-400 are lightweight FF lenses but price competitive with APS-C lenses! If you are thinking APS-C, you could still choose them and keep the FF option open for later on! Quality is fine. Far better than typical kit lenses. Lots of reviews around say so. My move I had a ten year old Canon 600D (18MP APS-C) with Tamron 18-270. Loved it. I do travel grab shots. So an APS-C upgrade would probably have done me. Instead I got a Canon RP (26MP FF) and Canon 24-240. Why? I did NOT lose 'reach' over my old gear. Crop of new gear better IQ than full image of old gear. Regardless, most of my pics are in the 24-200 range on FF. So reach not critical. The difference in price for FF bodies and lenses in mirrorless is narrowing fast. Mid range APS-C options can be dearer than entry level FF options! Got some discounts on the RP + 24-240 too good to refuse! That FF v APS-C price gap is shrinking regardless. I gained IQ over my old gear. Over new APS-C? I added an R50 for super-reaching. Not a body I'd recommend for regular use. So far FF better IQ. I LOST a few hundred grams in weight! Though the separate flash added it back. So I'm weight equivalent with a better flash and FF advantages. With mirrorless I get a better image in the viewfinder of what to expect. Got back what I liked about my Fuji 6MP mirrorless from 15 years ago! I didn't need most of the features found in mid-range bodies. eg 15fps+, better video, etc. The RP has more than what I had before. So how did that all happen? More MP? 18MP went to 26MP So probably. Maybe later technology pixels too. FF pixels (larger) v APS-C pixels (smaller)? In low light, yes. Otherwise maybe. Even the belief that larger pixels are always better is being challenged! New lens? Probably. My old one was 10 years old and collected a little inside dust. Manufacturing technology is always improving. The lens served me well. Moving from Tamron to a budget Canon lens? Unknown. My old Tamron v a new Tamron may have been similar. At the time Canon did not allow third party R series lenses. Change from mirror to mirrorless? Yes. Mirrorless allows for smaller and lighter bodies and lenses v mirror bodies. That means cheaper v mirrored bodies! (Reverse for second hand!) New firmware / software. Yes. Lens correction now happens in the Canon's body. Which is exactly why Simon started with 'it depends', introduced the factors at play (when just one factor changes) and then leaves it up to you. Perfect. As others have said too. And what have I now done? Added an R50 (APS-C 24MP) and a Canon 100-400! Got them on discount. The R50 is too small for everyday use for me. But it's good enough for the odd super reach shots I might take! 400 x 1.6 = 600+! I'll leave Simon to do the super IQ, super reach shots! Maybe I should have just bought his African Safari shots instead? Now if I wanted / needed an L lens with F1.8, then my budget would have said APS-C!

Excellent explanation. I use M4/3 as my camera body and a couple of lenses are easily transported on my bicycle or motorcycle. I have thought about switching to a slightly larger APC camera but that's a new set of lenses to buy so I'm sticking with my M4/3 set up. By the way, I also own a tiny Sony RX100 and it produces beautiful images. Thanks for the upload 👍

Well Done. I am currently struggling with an annual visitation from the little voice in my head about moving to full frame. apsc is still winning for all of the reasons you note. Personally, the limitations, and benefits, of the apsc format are a good challenge on an ongoing basis. It makes you really reflect on technique and proper positioning...almost like in the olden golden days.
@Sowerbylads
@Sowerbylads 2 месяца назад
I started my digital photography journey with an apsc. I bought full frame for the greater angle of view and better low light performance. I have kept my crop sensor where I need greater reach. Have recently bought a 150 to 600mm zoom so on the crop sensor will now be virtually redundant as I wish to try my hand at wildlife photography and the better low light performance from full frame will give me faster shutter speeds with lower iso and hence less noise. Back in the film days we called this a grainy image. Can look okay in certain situations especially monochrome rather than colour.

My main camera right now is a Fuji X-T5. I love the small size of the camera and most of Fuji’s lenses. I can fit the camera plus six Fuji lenses of widely varying focal lengths into a small backpack. Even Fuji’s XF 70-300mm lens is relatively small. I shoot a wide range of genres including travel, street, events, sports, and aviation, but only usually as an unpaid amateur for friends and family. I’m sure I’d like the low light capabilities of FF plus Fuji’s autofocus isn’t the best. But I prioritize small size and weight, and I know the camera well and can work around its less than perfect autofocus capabilities. So for now, this Fuji system works great for me.

I've taken it in the woods, to the beach, to the city. Wonderful camera for my area of Nova Scotia in the south. I picked up a 2nd hand 70-300 and have even gotten some good shots of wildlife.
