From the Three Stooges, I think it was the ice delivery episode
After sliding to the bottom to the stairs, Curley (I think) says,
If at first you dont succeed, keep on suckin till you do succeed.

It's not an optical illusion. I just looks like one! :)Oh sorry! The circle is the same size--optical illusion...

Obviously, if you want to get the same scene, with the crop sensor you just need to move further back or adjust the zoom.
My question is, does the full frame sensor produce a sharper image? What are the actual advantages?

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 am not an expert but I do feel sorry for your students. I trust they are not paying you?

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
This is 100X better to use to illustrate FF sensor v/s a so called cropped sensor.

It is an illustration of the same lens and the area covered at the same distance. The FF has much more area capable to be used. The medium frame is much larger but with the same lens at the same distance would show the same size circle.

This article gives a real good explanation of the advantages/disadvantages of a crop vs full sensor - what you get from both - what you don't get:

This is the first time Ive seen the difference explained in such a simple, easily understandable form. If not for the huge jump in cost

Right, but bigger rectangles perhaps? :thumbup:

Thank you so much for sharing info, I think it is the best illustration that I have seen. :-D

Few people argue that there is a difference between the two, but for some this may help explain the telephoto thing.

YES!!!
I make use of a Tamron 150-600 on my two cameras:
On the "full-frame" sensor of the Canon 5D Mark II I can (at Full extension of the lens, 600mm) get 600....
However....
On the "cropped" sensor of the Canon 7D I am actually capturing images at about 950 (or so) mm.
The only really difference is in the area of the sensor that creates this multiplication of the image -- And In low light I may get a bit of more noise. But this too, can be dealt with in post processing, making use of NIK Software's "D-Fine". A really good "noise knocker" program.
This is only one of the reasons that I always carry two different cameras of the same make with me.

This seems to be in error. Why is the circle larger on the crop sensor?
The circles represent an object being photographed. The rectangles represent the sensor recording the object. The full frame sensor is larger, and has a wider field of view for the same focal length lens. This means that for the same focal length lens at the same distance, a full frame sensor will capture the subject with the same resolution as a 1.5 crop sensor only if the full frame sensor has 50% more pixels.
