![]() So what’s all the fuss about? Understanding some of the practical differences between these two types of plates…er…cameras will help you know which type is best for you. Both will get the job done, and both are great for different types of people. Shooting with a full-frame camera is like taking a normal size plate to the serving area, whereas using a crop sensor camera is like using a plate that is about 30% smaller. Think of it like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet with different sized plates. Using a smaller sensor has interesting effects on things like depth of field and apparent focal length of lenses, but it’s not a subjective measure of how good or bad a camera is. How the smaller sensor affects your images The most common size that the term crop-sensor refers to is known as APS-C, which is the same size as a piece of film from the mid-1990’s Advantix format (also called the Advanced Photo System or APS) invented by Kodak. A full-frame sensor is the same size as a piece of 35mm film which was, and still is, the most widely-used type of film in analog cameras. The term crop-sensor or full-frame refers solely to the size of the imaging sensor inside a camera. Even mobile phones, which are basically super-duper-ultra-crop sensor cameras, can take breathtaking award-winning shots that grace not only social media feeds but billboards, walls, and pages of magazines across the world. Moreover, all types of cameras are capable of taking great photos. All of them are different, and each format has its strengths and weaknesses (yes, even full-frame cameras have weaknesses!) and each is ideally suited to different types of photography. Different, not betterīefore I get too deep into this article I want to make one thing clear neither crop, nor full-frame, nor medium format, nor micro-four-thirds are any better than the others. This duck is rushing to get the latest full-frame camera he read about on the internet.
