This could go on for 10/15 pages -- OR MORE
For starters input "Full Frame vs Crop Frame Cameras" into your PC/MAC or whatever other numerous electronic devise's that consume the majority of your waking hours
Actually ----
Just kidding (sort of) you may be one of the few in my age group that only use the damn things for outbound calls & processing photos

If I were the OP, I'd be asking you "Why?"

He and we can go to at least 2 current UHH threads and read other expert contributors who tell us stuff like; "...the (Canon) SX60.....the Sony RX10 lll 24-600mm Zeiss lens....the Sony HX400V also a 50x Zeiss lens. All three of these cameras are smaller and lighter than your (Sony full frame) a850 with equal or better image quality."

If the above is irrefutable fact, why would one need or want a camera with a sensor larger than the 1/2.3"?

Why full-frame?

A much simpler answer - go to LensRentals.com, rent a full frame camera for one week and see/judge the difference for yourself. They will happily also rent you a lens of your choosing. Your rental cost can be applied against the purchase price. The very best way to KNOW is to use one first hand.

On full frame cameras the sensor is the same size as 35mm film.

You sure are a man of few words.

If you decide to provide more details, I am sure you will receive better replies . We can't read your mind.

There is also google. If you type in Full Frame, you will get more info than what to do with.

The question is? Why are you interested in Full Frame? Do you have a camera now? What kind? What do you like to take pictures of? What do you do with the photos? Do you print and print very large? Or simply do you just use them on your computer and social media? How much experience do you have? Etc...

I don't use one if you are asking me? But it is a clear winner out of most cameras. I started out with a mirrorless camera in 2011 so for me an OVF would be going backwards. I just couldn't give up seeing what the shot will look like. So if I went Full Frame, I'd chose a Sony A7rII instead. All cameras have pluses and minuses. On that note, I have never seen anyone complain about the results from a D800. Although I have seen many switching from that camera/lenses to Micro Four Third systems due to weight. If that is not an issue, I can't see why you wouldn't be delighted. With that said, to get the best results from that resolution, you will need best glass and best habits. Like good tripod and if handheld, you want to be solid.

Depends on what you want....A 'Look at me' Canon with battery pack and white lenses or a compact Full Frame Sony with a sensor that no-one can see. Technology is wonderful, its making the choice that is the bummer. Try looking at specifications rather than opinions. The pro's and cons of sensor size is both technically diverse and hugely controversial. (plus costly)
How did you source your house or car...asking the neighbours?
Have fun

Understand your point about car and house. Just looking for input. It's a fair size investment. Thanks to all for your input.

I want a new car, which one should I buy? Specific questions will take you in a much better direction. A great starting point to ask yourself, "What's my budget?" you can spend $500.00 or $30,000 in a blink.
