Full Frame vs Crop Sensor cameras is a topic that has been around for years. Recently though I have seen a ton of videos and articles on the argument. They often end with the claim that despite the pros and cons, the differences boil down to personal preferences. As an experienced photographer, I know for a fact that Full Frame is the way to go; keep reading to find out why.
Cameras with Full Frame sensors provide a broader dynamic range and have superior low light/high ISO performance. Therefore yielding a higher quality image in comparison to a Crop Sensor. Also when it comes to aesthetics Full Frame cameras will have a shallower depth of field than a Crop Sensor, which is considered favorable in professional environments. The last difference has to do with focal length. If you buy a 50mm lens you are actually getting a 80mm when you add the crop factor. Some photographers believe that’s phenomenal, because your lens has more throw. They are not taking into account the opposite effect happens when you want to go wide.
I don’t want to discourage people from pursuing photography. I also don’t want people to be fooled with what people say on videos and articles. Full Frames sensors are better then Crop Sensors, which is why they are the industry standard for professional photographer. I personally use a Crop Sensor camera, because I can’t afford Full Frame. I work with my restriction and produce the best quality image I can, because at the end of the day creativity holds more importance over the gear.
