The surest way to corrupt a novice is to explain the importance of their sensor size.

I'm going to go wash the cars now, and come back and read the additional 4 pages to this thread later.

Oh, and take pictures with whatever works best for me :)

You mainly shoot Landscapes, portraits, street, and product photography, then a Full Frame camera is a must-have.

You shoot sports, action, macro, and wildlife then a crop sensor body and lens is a plus.


right on ...

I have both and definitely yes. I choose the camera based on the lens I am going to use. If you are thinking about getting a FF I think you will be glad you got one

If all you want is great prints that you can crop to your hearts content and blow up to any size, that are sharp with great color and detail, either Full Frame or Crop sensor will do fine. There is hardly a camera made today that doesn't produce great prints at any size.

"Landscapes, portraits, street, full frame is a must have." Not even close. These can all be great with either type. It's hard to understand where a comment like this even comes from. Except, possibly for the most critical use, full or crop doesn't make any difference.

As my first DSLR Camera, approximately 2.5 years ago, I chose a Nikon D3300 Crop-Sensor DSLR. It has performed very well and also created some beautiful images. After doing research, I chose this Camera. It was easy to Learn & Operate for a Beginner DSLR Photographer, which I considered myself. Do diligent Research before you buy any Camera. The more expensive camera will be a more complicated camera to Learn, Operate, & Understand...I my opinion.

Regarding needing a full frame camera for landscapes, street, etc., you should check out pro photographer James Popsys on YouTube. Great landscape photographer who two years switched from Nikon FF to Panasonic Lumix G9 micro 4/3 camera, and explains why. You don’t just need FF for landscapes anymore. There’s plenty of APS-C and micro 4/3 cameras that folks use for landscapes that produce fantastic results.

Diligence is the mother of good luck. Having a cropped-sensor camera is like dating your cousin.
