That is one of the best illustrations I have seen of crop vs. full frame! Succinct and to the point.

I agree. It even has the same number of pixels.

the FF sensor quality is superior to the crop sensor, even when the FF is magnified to the crop equivalent.

Only if the pixel density on the FF is great enough to delivery sufficient resolution.

Or if it is low light the larger pixels will produce a better result.

This tells a small part of the story, the "severe crop" case. Perhaps you could also include the version where the full frame sensor shows a full scene?

Just showing the difference in angle of view between sensors. Other than that no crop involved.

and it means ?????
guess it needs less cut n paste a little bit more explanation.
Some people who know what this represents will no doubt applaud the illustration. I never read the book it came from

It is self explanatory. This illustration simply shows what you see/get when looking through the identical lens on a crop sensor vs. a full sensor.

you started this thread as a battle between the two "vs" and turned it to a comparison of the two. their use depends on the needs of the person.

This seems to be in error. Why is the circle larger on the crop sensor?

There is no error. Read the statements above to understand. This is an excellent diagram showing what you would capture from the same lens and same settings, from the same position, using a crop frame sensor vs a full frame sensor. It not a "one against the other" at all. Rather, it just shows a comparison of the area capture ability if both sensors. Thanks for sharing. I am going to save this image and use it in my teaching.

I have to disagree: the image circle from the lens fully covers the sensor when you use a FX(EF) lens on a full frame sensor or a DX(EF-S) lens on a cropped sensor -- this illustration is a better representation: It also will give you an idea why a DX(EF-S) lens will vignette on a full frame sensor
