Myths about full-frame cameras
Dec 21, 2018 12:52:56 #
Two years ago , I switched from my 3 FF Nikon cameras to an Olympus Micro four thirds. I was surprised at just how good the quality was. If I print anything, I send it to Adorama to be printed at 11x14. After I made the switch, I sent a batch of files to be printed. They were from my Nikon D3, D810, D700, and from the Olympus Omd EM1M2, and Em1. I knew which files were which, But No-one else did..and no one I showed the prints to could tell whether a full frame Nikon camera had taken them, or were they shot with the MFT.
To say I was pleased, put it mildly. one concern of leaving my 3 FF cameras and going to MFT cameras, was fear over the image quality. That fear was gone after I saw those prints .

Two more myths:
13. The average shooter can afford a ff camera!
14. Big, heavy, unwieldy, clunky cameras and lenses are much easier to use to catch a shot of a lifetime for the average shooter.
Isn't that what it's all about? Availability and oportunity, that is.

Actually it was my point. Why do we keep using the 24x36mm format as a reference point? Why do we call it Full Frame? Why do we have crop factor based on this format? I wish we can get rid of the term full frame and the crop factor.

Ah, I remember the joke. Sorta. Something like this:
All of Mormanism was delighted to learn today that the second coming was upon us. And it happened in Salt Lake City! There is only one slight problem: She’s black.
Ok, racist and religious bigot all wrapped in one. Have at it!

I've heard this story over and over, and lived it myself. FF gear certainly has its place, but if you want to travel light AND get great images, there are other options. Panasonic and Olympus make some of the better ones.

If you had shot them in low light and high ISO >12,500, I could have easily spotted which one was from the D3. It's just that good......

Aside from numbers 1 and 8, I totallly agree. And isn't there something about dual memory card slots?

You forgot the benefit of body building with full frame. Lugging around bigger cameras and much bigger lenses. Full frame also helps to build a bigger and better ego and self worth.

I agree that #1 is true. My D3s 12 mp sensor has some honking' huge nuclear pixels designed for ultra high ISO..... they're like a fisherman's net, just grabbing every photon that comes by......
