Full Frame vs Crop Sensor
Jan 15, 2020 08:54:58 #
I shoot the 7DMKII and the 6DMKII for sports. The picture quality of the 6DMKII FF is a lot better by my standards. Using the same lens 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM II on both cameras. The FF seems to give a better (clearer) view of the players eyes and faces. I lose a fps with the 6D MKII (anti-flicker on both cameras) but it seems not to hinder the photos of the games.
Only my opinion which only counts for me and no one else. Good luck and keep shooting.....

This topic interests me because I recently upgraded from a Nikon D7100 to a D750. Since I wasn't offered much in trade for the D7100 I opted to keep it, it is a very nice camera. The D750 has a definite advantage for me since I shoot mostly scenery with wide angle lenses. On the other hand, I frequently go on shoots that require a lot of walking and I can carry the older camera with 3 Dx lenses fairly easily (I'm not getting any younger) and Fx lenses can get pretty heavy. I did notice (and this could just be my imagination) that the Fx files seem to respond better to post processing. My photos just get some tweaking in Camera Raw. So my ideal situation is to have one of each.

I now use a full frame for birds in flight my favorite photography I like being able to crop my photos the way I want and have many times cut off parts of the wings of birds in flight using my crop camera I like being able to have more background in my flight photos for composition and portrait type bird shots.. I have the D500 and the D850 as far as the noise factor the D500 is very close to low noise as my D850 also use the D850 for landscape a lot .. and auto focus stacking... so a full frame usually has some added features you might be interested in depends on what type of photography you want to do ...

You did a pretty good job of that yourself (printing raw straight out of camera? Not knowing about Ansel and his legendary "post production"?). But I see that several folks chose to continue attempting to educate you last night, both in this thread and your other, so hopefully, today you understand more than you did yesterday. WHY don't you enlighten me on what YOU THINK I don't know?!
I personally don't care whether you post-process or not, but do you really want to be one of "those" people who form opinions based on incorrect or incomplete information?
The truth will set you free 😊

It’s preference based on need. I’m sure there are pros who use both, depending on need.

it is all about the lens front of the camera. If you buy either the D500 (DX) or the D850 (FX) buy good glass. As soon as we get a sunny day I will take photos with my D500 using the $600 to $900 DX lenses and the FX F2.8 lens that cost more than twice as much in a controlled manner and see if what I think I have seen is correct. I used the 28 to 300 mm on the D850 and was disappointed. I switched to the F2.8 24-200 and the 70-200 and was very pleased.

....I don't need FF because I only make prints for the wall to 30"x40"s. My Olympus M4/3 and Nikon crop sensor Cameras show a sharp non grainy print at a distance of in your face. And I shoot Sinful JPEGs!!
Oh no!! Not jpeg!

What’s the point of our photography? Everything seems absurd until someone admires our equipment.

I need to know why Professional Photographers choose FF cameras over Crop Sensor Cameras? Especially if the lenses with a Crop Sensor Camera give you added length and scope than lenses on a FF Camera. Also since a Crop Sensor Camera can shoot in the "RAW" and is not limited to shooting JPEG. What are the advantages to FF camera vs. Crop Sensor Camera?
In general, the larger the sensor, the better the potential for image quality, sensitivity, and range of DOF options. Another answer is most professionals are already comfortable working with the form factor of the lenses and bodies from 35mm. For some, it might be helpful to make full use of some of the lenses they already own. So why would they scale back from FF to crop? There are other format comparisons you can make, including MF and M4/3 which afford possibilities for certain professionals who need these formats in their current type of work, but you asked about FF vs crop, by which I assume you meant APS-C and the like.

[quote=GrannyAnnie]I have always thought this to be true, but being a very remedial but determined student of photography, I have been intimidated to suggest this. To my mind, a truly gifted photographer can use any camera and produce extraordinary photographs requiring little or no tweaking. I don't want to open this can of worms but if you must PP the daylights out of a shot, then it wasn't that good to start with. It makes the "photographer" better as a post-processor than a photographer. And that's okay....just admit where the talent lies.[/quo
GrannyAnnie,
Sounds like, what I was trying to point out ! Post Processor vs Good Photographer. Amen!

I have both. It all depends on what I am doing with the image. If it is Just going to be displayed on someone s pocket phone, then even a 4/3s is fine. But my 16x20 stuff is FF for sure.

This debate goes on and on and on.... the answers seem to always include the, very frequent, comment that a FF has more pixels. What is the difference in the pixel count of a FF 24 MP vs the crop sensor with 24 MP? The biggest difference I can imagine is the crop sensor has smaller pixels which probably can make a difference but is that difference that great?

When you look at another's work that you admire, is it the composition, the focus, the colors, the processing, the subject or just the model of camera and the pixel resolution?
