If anyone has a real cramp regarding repeat subjects,why oh why would you look at the post? It's a rhetorical question,so please don't answer. Just wait for another cramp! LOL!

Exactly! Many new users, and old buzzards like myself see a thread like this, and it's quite informative. Yes, I do know how to use the search function, however many threads that have been previously covered still peak my interest.

Chances are, if you have to ask, then you don't need it. Put a smaller sensor in the hands of a pro, and a full frame sensor in the hands of a novice, and I bet the pro wins out every time. You still need to learn the basics (exposure triangle, composition, reading the available light, etc.) as well as how to properly post-process an image.
FYI, I use a m4/3 sensor (2x crop factor when compared to FF)...and I see no reason to ever buy FF, unless maybe I was shooting low light high iso.

Good morning all, just wanted to get some opinions on the full frame vs crop sensor debate. Which do you use and why?
Pictures speak louder than words.
Same birds, minutes apart. D500, with a 300mm lens, about 30 -32 ft from cardinal. D800, 600mm lens about 35-40 ft away. Difference in focal length is mitigated by the "reach" that many people point at as a consideration in getting a crop sensor camera, and the fact that the D500 image was taken at a closer distance - so essentially this is a comparison between an orange and a cropped orange. (not apples and oranges)
Any questions?
Noise, fine detail rendition, clarity, tonality - considerably better in the 3 yr old D800 compared to the current D500.
D500, equivalent angle of view 450mm /1250, F5.6, ISO 800

Reach is overrated. Difference in image quality is underrated.

I kept trading up until I had the full frame camera I wanted. Then I found that for long telephoto shots, a 24MP crop frame actually gives more detail than a 36MP full frame. So now I have both. To tell the truth, if I had to live with only one, I could easily live with a crop frame.
