We talk about size because a larger sensor can gather more light while all other factors are equal. And more light - means better photo quality for the same sensor tech. This is the sole reason full-frame and larger medium format cameras exist - to provide the best image quality possible....
While full-frame has received the most attention from camera manufacturers in recent years, there are plenty of great reasons to purchase smaller format sensors like APS-C. These systems can be cheaper, smaller, lighter, and offer greater reach over their full-frame counterparts. That latter feat...
I brought this up a while ago for my A7Cr and got a bit roasted. But I do it when I want a lightweight solution, like using the 70-350 for tele instead of a lens weighing three times as much. Tamron's FE 70-300 has the same max aperture, covers the full 35mm-format sensor,...
the Panasonic 14-50/2.8-3.5 for Micro Four Thirds (crop factor 2) weighs 1.08 pounds and corresponds to 28-100/5.6–7 for a full frame. You can find similar lenses for a full frame from the trio Sony, Nikon, and Canon, all a bit better in their parameters and thus a bit heavier,...
http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2015/02/23/mirrorless-battle-micro-43-vs-aps-c-vs-full-frame/ Well, Huff is Huff. Comparing three different format sensors the way he does just makes me chuckle. It reminds me of the Top Gear 'tests' - define enough criteria, with proper weights, to con...
Why Full Frame is perceived as the “serious” format What is the “ideal” sensor size The first can be answered with the popularity of 35mm in the film era. But in modern digital times, is full frame really the sweet spot? DL Cade, Richard and Bill answer the followingin th...
DPRTV published a video with the title: “There’s Nothing Magical AboutMedium FormatDepth Of Field“. The video could also be perfectly titled “There’s Nothing Magical AboutFull FrameDepth Of Field“, but given how large their customer base shooting full frame ...
Full Metal Body E/X/Z/L/MFT-mount Wide Angle and Large Aperture Mixing a comfortable wide-angle design with an ultra-fast maximum aperture, the 17mm f/1.4 lens is designed for use with APS-C-format mirrorless cameras and provides a 25mm equivalent focal length. The optical structure of th...
EF-S lenses extend deeper into the camera’s body to get closer to the sensor. This makes EF-S lenses incompatible with Canon’s full-frame cameras like the 5D and 6D, as the lens’ rear protrusion would come into contact with the camera’s mirror. ...
A 100mm lens on one of these cameras shows the same area of view that a 160mm lens would show on a 35mm film or full-frame camera. Multiply a lens' focal length by 1.6 to get the focal length of a lens which, when used on a full-frame or 35mm film camera, gives the same ...
