I use both formats, never post which one I use for which photo... and between the two Canon's my Fuji X-T2 is the easiest to carry and work with, as it's small like a range finder body. I also use an adapter EF/XFT that allows me to use my Canon glass. If I posted photo from all three, no one would be able to tell the difference as I use RAW in all three. I like my Canon 7D Mark II for shooting BIF with it's fast shutter speed, and the 5D Mark IV I got, simply because the price was right and I couldn't afford the Canon R5 (mirrorless) at the time. I'd probably get the Fuji X-T5 now for it's shutter speed and MP.... and the fact that I can carry the Fuji mirrorless in a fanny pack when in very crowded situations. A whole host of reasons, but I hear Sony has put out a great camera body as well in the A7 line up. I won't brand bash anyone's selection for what they use... just get your camera and lets shoot some photography.

mdpathjp great post BTW.

In my long career I have used both APS-C and Fullframe cameras for stills in both my DLSRs (both Nikon and Canon) and my Mirrorless (Sony) camera use. As I shoot mainly raw+jpeg, I have gotten excellent image quality with both formats.

As the major camera makers have concentrated more of their best and most innovative tech and performance into their fullframe lines, I have moved away from my APS-C gear and now use mainly fullframe gear. I personally prefer the shallower depth of field possible, higher resolution of the higher megapixel sensors. better high ISO and noise performance, and some other performance advantages of my fullframe cameras.

But that doesn't mean I would ever diss on APS-C, there are superb cameras in APS-C and they offer generally less cost. lower weight, smaller size.

But even that size, weight, cost and feature gap has tightened as the major makers are releasing more compact fullframe models with lower prices; and also releasing APC-S models having many features that have trickled down from their top fullframe models.

So use what works best for you and be happy. APS-C is alive and well. I know Sony is about to announce a new high-end APS-C mirrorless camera next month too.

Cheers and best to you.

Discounting all the " out in the weeds stuff about COC and DOF issues" , I like to carry BOTH bodies with me when doing Canon and EF lenses... ONE L lens gives me 2 diff. Focal choices with the 1.6 factor. I have older DSLR gear in my Canon kit and my (2) 60D and (1) 6D give me TREMENDOUS versatility with 2 or 3 L lenses. I would rather buy top glass for older bodies than a new body and use mediocre lenses. Just my personal opinion based on MY PERSONAL needs... This is just my take on the issue. Cheers... ( Sorry Gerald , I like the word ).
