Full frame cameras-apsc-comparison

Full-frame vs. APS-C format - What's so great about full-frame?

Every photography fan has heard the term "Full-frame camera" or "full-frame sensor" before. But what is a full-frame sensor anyway and what impressive advantages does this larger sensor actually have compared to a smaller sensor? Before you buy a new camera, we want to answer these questions for you.

Sensor sizes comparison

The image sensor makes the difference

The advantages of the crop factor

In contrast to a full-frame camera, a camera with a smaller sensor also selects a smaller image section. Only the inner part of the image is captured; the image is "cropped" at the edge. The so-called "crop factor" for APS-C and MFT cameras describes the relationship between the actual focal length of the lens and the focal length impression created by the smaller image section. Due to the crop factor, APS-C cameras also achieve a longer focal length. If you photograph with a focal length of 200mm on a full-frame camera, the image section on an APS-C camera corresponds to a focal length of approximately 320mm. This can be a significant advantage for wildlife or sports photographers, for example.

Can I also use lenses for full-frame on APS-C?

Advantages of full-frame sensors:

We have already identified the technical differences between the sensors. Now the question arises as to what advantages a larger sensor brings with it.

Full-frame sensors are considered the "royal class" of SLR cameras. At low ISO settings, there is hardly any difference between full-frame sensors and smaller sensors. In particularly good lighting conditions (and thus lowest ISO setting), the full-frame sensor cannot yet show many of its strengths. In low-light conditions, however, the larger sensor performs much better. If the ISO value is increased, a considerably better detail fidelity and a much lower image noise can be observed with the full-frame sensor. This image noise is also familiar to amateur photographers: a kind of dust suddenly appears on the digital images or the image looks grainy.

A camera with a full-frame sensor can easily be set to a light sensitivity of ISO 6,400 and higher - the image quality hardly deteriorates. Especially in low-light situations, such as in theaters or at evening open-air events, the advantages are clear. Compared to an APS-C SLR, a full-frame sensor gains about one aperture and thus considerably more light. So if you often want to shoot great photos in low-light conditions, you should take a closer look at the full-frame sensor. The dynamic range of your photos, becomes a lot larger through the 35mm format sensor. This means that the colors are more brilliant and the subsequent scope for editing the photos is increased. Especially for astrophotography, this is a criterion, which is why many astrophotographers have already switched to larger sensors.

Due to the larger image sensor, the full-frame camera also offers a somewhat shallower depth of field than SLR cameras with smaller sensors. This characteristic of a full-format camera can be used as a design element and, for example, create out-of-focus photos. This design element is particularly well known for portraits. In order to direct the viewer's gaze to the essential elements of the image, the photographer has the option of selecting the plane of sharpness more precisely, thus freeing up the subject. Because of this, the full-frame camera becomes a great companion for professionals and ambitious amateur photographers, in the fascinating world of artistic photography.

Anyone who is thinking about buying an SLR camera should also take practical considerations into account. On the one hand, there is the weight: cameras with full-frame sensors are naturally heavier. This can be a burden if you want to be mobile and are also dependent on many lenses. An SLR camera with an APS-C or MFT sensor is considerably lighter.

Full-frame cameras can handle mechanical stress better, due to their high-quality and robust construction for everyday professional use. For daily professional use, the full-frame camera is therefore certainly the better solution from this point of view. Last but not least, the price plays a major role in the purchase of the camera and lenses. Cameras with smaller sensors are significantly cheaper than cameras with 35 mm sensors.

Typical SLR cameras with full-frame sensor are for example various Canon- and Nikon models. Sony mainly has system cameras of the Alpha series in their range. Mirrorless cameras have the great advantage that they can be built more compactly. Mirrorless cameras are called DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex). In contrast, system cameras work without a mirror (the "m" here stands for the missing mirror = English "mirror") Not long ago, system cameras did not reach the speed of DSLR cameras, but today the mirrorless models like the Sony Alpha 9 are in no way inferior to the big DSLRs.

Our conclusion:

Whether a full-frame camera or one with an APS-C or MFT sensor is ultimately right for you depends entirely on your needs. If you want to work a lot in low light conditions, want to print the resulting photos especially large, or have the camera in daily use, then there is no way around a full-frame camera. To experience the feeling between camera manufacturers and sensor sizes, we will be happy to advise you in our D?sseldorf branch and you can determine for yourself which camera suits you best. Because you can also take outstanding pictures with an APS-C camera.
