I have both (Canon). When I learned that the teleconverters didn't go with all my lenses I picked up the APS-C for birding and other animals. The good thing is I don't have to keep switching lenses. I have my long lenses on my 7DII and regular lens on the full frame. I wear them on a harness, long lens on the right and regular on the left

I agree. If you can, why get a second body "DX." That "extra reach" can be done with a full frame "FX" depending on how you crop before you shoot.

Good question

Chris

Wish I could sell equipment, I get attached. Except for the one that got stolen I have all my cameras and lenses back to the film days lol

I like it because I don't have to changed lenses that much

I am using a Sony a99ii after selling my Sony a77M2 camera. I just love this full frame a mount camera. I could see Sony upgrading the a99ii series to a Sony a99iii DVD from 42MP to a 60MP camera along with some of the features as the a9 has.
One good thing that nobody has stated is that all the old Minolta lens will works on the a99ii camera and do an excellent job.. My advise sell the a77M2 camera and lenses. Save your money and purchase full frame lenses to go with the a99ii camera. You will not be sorry for what you did. You will notice a difference in the way you photos look and overall general performance of the camera with the fullframe lens vs a non fullframe lens plus find the HVL 60 flash the first version of the flash along with rechargeable batteries for flash and three extra camera batteries, tripod and a monopod for long lenses. Now you are set to start shooting photos. Can I also add that David Busch has a book that you should read dealing with the Sony a99ii camera. I have one and know a lot of people have this book and enjoy this book. Tells you about all the settings in the cameras bios and what they do and what they are used for. Good information to know about the camera.

Oh my, yes.

I had a Canon Rebel 3ti cropped frame, sold it and purchased a Canon 6D full frame. One of the best decisions I ever made. With the cropped sensor you have to multiply your current focal point (length) by 1.6. So, if you're using a 50mm prime, it will appear to be through an 80mm lens. It used to tick me off in tight spaces. The subject would be larger (cropped) than I saw with my naked eye. I will never go back.

There is a middle ground, at least with Nikon. You can adjust your frame to show your photo area or you can adjust to cover all it can. That could be handy for panoramas and very vertical photos. Even Squares!

You ask why ? One answer will be “10MP is just unappealing.”

If there’s another reason, I doubt that it measures up to that one.

The only thing I used to have that I kinda miss from time to time is the portion of my hair that has gone missing over the years.

I am an old photographer who used 4x5, Hasselblad (medium format) and for most of my photo life, a full frame - mainly Canons. I now switched to a Leica CL ASP-C size. I frequently make comparisons between my full frame images (currently a Leica Q) and the CL. For medium sized prints neither I nor my guests can tell the difference.

I have the HVL F43AM flash, purchased shortly after the a77 (just bought a hotshoe adapter for it so I can use it on either body). After renting an a77ii for Oshkosh I was determined to get an upgrade of some kind, if only to take advantage of the screaming fast focus speed. I had my a77 with me plus 3 lenses, used each on both bodies to compare and the a77ii focus was faster and more accurate all the time. Low-light shots with the a77 are nearly not worth trying to get due to the noise. After asking about it on the hog, I bought Friedman's book and when I started reading it found out (with copy of receipt) that it came with a PDF file as well (lots or hotlinks to articles and better images than the B/W paperback. The book mentioned that, while (most) of the old Minolta glass worked, there were several that couldn't take advantage of the hybrid focusing system of the a99ii. I have 3 ff lenses and one crop.
