Full frame vs aps-c

The math of a beautiful image is easy: it has twice the megapixels of your current sensor.

If your sensor throws away 50% of the frame, how will you ever achieve your potential as a photographer?
If you are referring to setting a full frame sensor to the settings of a crop sensor, then that is correct. I'm with you. Why would one want to do this continuously? But if you mean the crop sensor is throwing away info in a frame, then that is not correct. The frame is smaller for a crop sensor. --Richard

Not really. A full frame camera will have more detail per photo because it is full frame and not 2/3's frame. It the receiver size inside the camera and not the type of lens. Because the image receiver gets more of the image and not just the size of the image or lens correlation. You get more pixels of resolution per image on a full frame.

Really you think my Nikon Df with its full frame 16MP sensor would have more details than an APS-C of the same make and same time period D7200 with its 24MP APS-C sensor?

OK, I see what you are saying. But to me saying a sensor is throwing away pixels is a strange way of putting it. The 16:9 sensor also throws away more than a hypothetical circular sensor in which the rectangular one can be inscribed. But I don't know of anyone wanting to make a circular sensor. In fact, with argument, we should have stayed with 4:3 sensors since they cover more area of the circle than does a 16:9 rectangle. --Richard

I believe that's "a whore of a different color."
That was in common use in the old West to differentiate between black and white whore houses. Or so my sainted old grandmother tells me.

This is very true. When someone took good pictures with a great camera they tend to claim all the credit for themselves and give the camera no credit at all.

Well, if I had a great picture, I couldn't have made it without the help of my camera.

WHY do we insist on pinning everything down to one or the other.... Richard Petty could NOT have done any better on the track with my beetle bug than I could have done in his race car when we were both in our prime... Experience and equipment complement one another... Seems pretty simple to me. 5 pages so far ?

There are three responses to a great image: yes, no, or they must have used a mirrorless camera.
