Sir, this is by far one of the best explanations of the differences between the main formats (you missed the mft, but all your general considerations are valid for it as well). Anyway, I have watched lots of videos on the matter and yours is one of the most informative, an excellent tutorial indeed ! Thanks and stay healthy !
I loved your video, but you talk a little fast, and sometimes I had to rewind to understand what you were saying or try to grasp your explanation. Could you slow down just a little bit for future videos. Just a suggestion if not keep doing your thing. Thank you anyway.
Once I heard about the a6700, I knew it was going to be a special camera, and it is. Anyone using it will realize they don't need a FF camera body, many FF lenses and a lot of money. The lenses for aps-c from Sigma, Tamron, Viltrox and many others are much cheaper, price wise, than FF lenses. And the aps-c body has the benefit of using FF lens to great effect. It's all there. Thanks for making a very clear presentation of the two formats. This is highly recommended for those just getting into photography. BTW, I had fun with medium format cameras decades ago. Lots of fun but nowhere as much fun as 35mm film cameras.
I’m a working small time pro… and my second body is a 5100! And get this- I use my Zeiss 85 full frame on it most of the time, because I use a zoom on my main body for more flexibility, but then have that Zeiss ready when it fits the subject, and yes, it’s worth every penny. That said, in my experience, is full frame worth it? Yes. It’s just better, the headroom and depth of field capabilities do matter to me. And yes if you’re never going to go full frame, don’t bother with ff lenses, there are many excellent crop lenses out there. But for an aspiring pro, crop bodies are fine to start with, but building a bag of full frame lenses is a good idea. The best crop lenses aren’t exactly cheap! Also, buy all bodies and lenses used, period. ;)
Apsc is not a problem. It's perfectly fine for most situations, but let's be honest - you need to use great light lenses. But also on FF :) I have a6700 and a7 IV and 1.4 GM lenses, then I have great outputs from both cameras without difference.
So at the end Full Frame has more background blur and better low light performance compared to APS-C, however with some tricks you can emulate the look of FF on an APS-C camera. I know cause I have used an APS-C camera and now I own a FF camera and it's just easier to work with. Not saying the quality of the images are 10 times better as I was the one using the APS-C camera as well. :) But FF has maybe a bit more advantages.
Wish this guy was my teacher for every class I ever took! You explained everything really well and I feel like I've learnt more from watching your video than I did from watching years of UA-cam!
Kudos! Loved the ‘bus’ for the basketball team analogy!

That is the best explanation video I have ever saw! People say FF cameras are better all the time! But they don't account for an actual pixel size on a sensor. Another thing is - you have to use a brighter lens on APS-C, than your kit lens and everything will be fine! 😉
I really enjoyed every second of this video. You really hit a couple of nails wich are currently a subject of debate within the photography community. Right now i'm using a Sony A6700 and i can clearly notice some differences with my older generation A6000 camera. It's clear that the gap between a 26mp APS-C and a 33mp Full Frame are getting smaller. And now with the super resolution switch within Adobe Lightroom you can get even more stunning results. Of course i also would like to have a Full Frame camera in the future. But my Sony A6700 is solid ground for now.
bro... You single handedly saved me a ton of money. I currently have a Sony A6400, and was looking into a full frame under the impression that the pixels mattered so much more than on an APS-C. Your video explained what no other video I've found could explain so well and in great detail without being too complicated to understand. Instead of buying a Sony full frame, I may just look into purchasing the A6700 and upgrading from my current A6400. It makes so much more sense now just to stick with an APS-C camera over going full frame, unless maybe I'm wrong? I'm so used to shooting with this camera and I've shot several air shows and concerts with great success. Now it doesn't seem like switching to a full frame camera would really benefit me in any way, correct me if I'm wrong. But I feel like the A6700 could fit my needs far better than going full frame since it's a sensor size I've grown very familiar with. I also have several lenses and a Sony G 70-300 lens that was made for the APS-C sensors. Do you think it's best for me to stick with them, or get a full frame?
Sounds like apsc is a great fit for you! Your 70-300 has the reach of a 105-450mm so if you switched to full frame, you’d have to get the 100-400 just to do what you’re already able to do.
Great video, Great explanations, Recently went from APS-C (Canon 90D 32mp) to Full frame R6MK2. 26mp.. Strengths and weakness in both formats, gained, better separation & low light performance. Lost range and resolution to be able to crop in as much. Thanks for putting this great explanation together. Best I have seen. Thank You...
Quality to price APSC wins everytime. You usually pay double for full frame but the quality doesnt double you just capture a slightly wider angle. Body and lenses cost a lot more. My 20mm full frame lens was $650. My apsc 10-25mm was $50.... Quality is basically the same with good light. I shot my shoe collection videos with both. Some of my shoe videos were shot in apsc and some on full frame. I know no one knows which ones are which lol. I just framed them the same by moving back. Im glad you brought up the "low light" morons, well add some light dum dum lol. We all do it in pro shoots we add light and use flash lol.
YO! You just got another subscriber. This was a very well put together and clear (understandable) video. I've yet to hear someone layout full frame vs aps-c the way you did in this video.
Thank you for the explanation of the difference between the Full and APS-C cameras. I was thinking that you must buy a Full frame if budget allowed to have a good image, but I was wrong. now, I may able to get the camera "I need" with better price and just spend the extra money to the extra lenses :) Mahalo
Dang, you are an excellent teacher. This is the best explanation of the differences between full frame and aps-c sensors and their effects that I have ever heard. thank you. I just subscribed.
i'm also worried about the distortion than a wider lens of an aps c can apply to the face when you are at the same distance for vlogging. I thought that maybe a 24mm on full frame would see more natural than using maybe a 13mm on aps c , but watching at 9:31 i can not see a difference. could you tell what focal lenght are you using for both cameras? Love the video btw
Great video - this is the 5 years of gathering the info myself broken down all in one place. The only thing is I think it’s for someone who has already started putting concepts together rather than a complete novice.
Well APS-C is still bigger than Micro 4/3rds and Micro 4/3rds is still larger than 1 inch sensor which is larger than lens’s on smartphones which use software to make up for the shortcoming. So if you compare a APS-C lens to a smartphone just remember it’s considerably bigger 🥳🥳🥳 Enjoyed watching 😊😊😊
Very educational. Your style of information is appreciated, you break it down to the basic. Even for us that been using these camera for some time needs a refresh course.
Nope, it’ll have the field of view of a 45mm. An apsc lens is just smaller because it can ONLY cover the apsc sensor. Using a full frame 30mm would be bigger because it can cover a full frame sensor. So same result either way
i really appreciate all the info you put in this video. It's better than any other camera explanation video I've seen- straight to the point with facts, visual differences and comparisons, and 0 extra wording to fill the time slot. Thanks so much for your expertise!
You mention newer apsc cameras being much better… how far back would you consider newer cameras to have been released? Just curious as I have a Nikon D7500 that was released in 2017.
I don't remember hearing full frame vs cropped frame being better in low light. It was always about the lens's F-stop. I'm still stuck on moving up to a full frame. I think only thing I'll be seeing a benefit is at a bday party getting large groups or not standing so far back when taking photos of a ferriswheel. lol
With all specs and settings equal, one of the biggest advantages of full frame is being noticeably better in low light. That doesn’t mean apsc always means bad in low light, but it typically takes a lower f stop on a crop sensor to makeup for the smaller sensor. Thats why cellphones suck in low light even though they have low f stop lenses
The difference between those 2 cameras in low light noise is about 1 and a half stop. That`s quite a difference. The fullframe also has more than a stop more dynamic range. That`s nice to have. I think the native fullframe lenses for sony are allmost always better than the crop version.
That extra stop or so of light can definitely come in handy for those who find themselves in those situations, but I’d say they both have much more dynamic range than most scenes require. So for someone who isn’t shooting in really low light environments often or isn’t shooting extremely high dynamic range scenes, they’d never notice those differences
You can take pictures of the northern lights with any camera and lens, it just depends on the quality of image you want and how much work you want to do to get it
@@erwinmarionneaux I mean for high quality, not phone quality. Because i found this set and i am not sure if the zoom is much for views. Plus i am between Sony a7 and Nikon d5600
Many thanks. I understand that full frame can be better for wedding, concert, portrait and astrophotography specially for professionals but for me as a amateuer photographer the aps-c fullfills all my needs for cheaper price. Besides its lighter and smaller, too. I startet with a used A6000 with kit-lens for 260 EUR. Step by step I bought good lenses and switched to the A6400. The day will come an I get a A6700. But for now I can do all the things I want to do, landscape, cityscape (at night), milky way, macro, some portraits (therefore I have 1.4 primes). For me it´s the complete right decison I get bothering I someone tells me that if I would only one time use a fullframe, I would never look back. My experience shows me that this people instead of work on their creativity would prefer to buy better gear, or they think, that a picture is only good if you can zoom in 200% an alls ist razorsharp. Other think that only a big bokeh is the measure for good photo. They shoot their cat or dog but sharp is ony everything until the ears. Can be a good photo, but not every time. You named it, the "full frame look". So I´m happy if someone who works with both systems is telling the truth. There are advantages and disadvantes of both systems, but to be honest, in the most cases a aps-c would be enough for the most amateuer photographers if the reasons are not the better ev or the bigger or more buttons. But it does not care me what the reasons of other photographers are, I´m totally ok with it.
Don’t mind me…. just appreciating this immensely. Philosophically, I agree. Technically, it’s also very helpful. I’m looking for a B Cam. A Cam is full frame and I’m doing pros and cons. But B Cam is basically going to spend its entire life in the studio. So you’re right APSC is gonna be fine because I’ll always have controlled lighting. Don’t need every tool to work for every single job.
My biggest price of advice is aps-c struggles a bit even in semi low light. You need a light bar or pannel even in golden hour sometime with apsc whereas with full frame you do not. Only big downfall for apsc and I know you can get a nifty 50 with a f1.2 but what happens when you don't want extreme bokeh in every picture? You buy a full frame... Also.... Yeah high megapixel cameras have more noise but it's only when you pixle peep, but the high megapixel camera has a clearer image and still has the benefit of handeling low light better regardless. There's a video breaking that down saying it's a myth. A7s vs a7r noise
There must be something else wrong. The differences between low light capabilities of FF vs APS-C is about 1-2 stops of light. Choosing one aperture wider and doubling your Shutter speed (like 1/100 instead of 1/200) is enough to have the same low light image capabilities as a full frame sensor.
great info! hope people will not include aperture into the mix when doing equivalency stuffs. it's literally just cropping in,, aperture size stays the same
Hey Erwin, great video! What's your advice on APS-C lenses vs Full Frame lenses on a full frame camera? I'm considering the Sigma 18-50mm vs Sigma 28-70mm for my Sony A7C, taking price into account (full frame is nearly double). I'm a beginner UA-camr looking for great quality video. Thanks!
Fantastic video bru ! Super easy to understand explanations. I actually bought the FX30 as a B cam to my FX3 for a few of those reasons, the focal lengths and having the benifits of both worlds. Shot a metal festival a few weeks back and when editing the video I had no idea which shot was from which camera. Also the price of APSC glass is something that makes me happy, I bought as set of Cineprimes that are T1.05 for the price of my Sigma 24-70 F2.8 full frame lens!
I have been a professional photographer for 15 years, I have watched all kinds of videos on photography and this one is the best explanation I’ve seen, and it was a confirmation on keeping my a6400 for more time. Thanks for the video
In the "old" days we had 1/2 of 35mm ... The "cheap" 35mm shooting only half the frame ... There are plenty excellent old film cams like that ... And yeah great comparison! Thanks. All the APS-C bashers should watch your vid.
Man i have watched so many explanation and yours is SO CLEAR!!! Thank you for this video. its amazing. You sir, earned a subscriber. Imma watch more of you now. thanks man!!
thank you, I actually learnt new stuff from this even though I already assumed I understood everything, you have a real directness and matter-of-factness when it comes to explaining and a clear way of speaking, great job!
@@erwinmarionneaux I am just a stupid Dane speaking danish German and english. I do understand everything U say. Even though U are in a hurry... Great. Lots off info.
This video just put all my decisions to rest. I was gonna hop in the full frame boat but I’ll start and stick with apsc. More for the money and very similar quality, plus there’s a ton of people making awesome content with apsc. Great video and explanation
Very well explained. I do feel like we ask for a lot of stuff in these cameras that we don't need or don't want to actually do the work to make the cameras look and work the way they need. I've watched movies with grain in the shadows, we also want the best Autofocus and we want excellent ibis but, most of the big expensive cameras don't have ibis and constant auto focus or auto focus at all . I feel we are chasing perfection when the best movies and photos were made with imperfections on purpose because it gives character to the images. This allows them to stand out.
Most videos fail completely to mention the sensor material, you touch on it - good, but that deserved 50% of your time not 30 seconds. good explanation for beginners, ( that's a complement)
Thank you for such a simplistic explanation of sensors. I was almost completely convinced that I needed a full frame camera. I did not want to dish out that kind of coin at this point. I really think APS-C may be the way to go for my needs. Thanks again.
I’ve never been on this channel, but man oh man this was hilarious! I got what I came for, excellent explanation with actual facts, and stayed for the examples that just kept making me laugh out loud. 😂 thanks for making this video. Now I am going to find me a basketball team so I have a reason to buy a bus!
This was actually the best explanation I’ve seen. I especially like that you walked through every step of determining how much crop the photographer will see based on the measurements and how they defer between hardware types. Thank you so much. You did this like an engineer would explain a complex system, and I love it!
I'm gonna call you sir.. even thou you look young. Because you sir are smart and I know this because you just articulated the differences between apsc and full frame in such way that anyone and I mean anyone can understand.. to do this one needs to be smart and understand the issue.. You have earned my subscription and look forward to seen more of your videos.. thank you sir.

Haha same here 😂 But yes, this is one of the best overviews from someone who clearly understands what they're talking about.
I can definitely attest to that. This is one of the more concise ones!
Wow! I learned more in this video than all these years of watching UA-cam.
Sir, this is by far one of the best explanations of the differences between the main formats (you missed the mft, but all your general considerations are valid for it as well).
Anyway, I have watched lots of videos on the matter and yours is one of the most informative, an excellent tutorial indeed !
Thanks and stay healthy !
He talked about mft at the end
What an expert level video explaining (and showing) the difference between the formats
I loved your video, but you talk a little fast, and sometimes I had to rewind to understand what you were saying or try to grasp your explanation. Could you slow down just a little bit for future videos. Just a suggestion if not keep doing your thing. Thank you anyway.

Thanks for making a very clear presentation of the two formats. This is highly recommended for those just getting into photography.
BTW, I had fun with medium format cameras decades ago. Lots of fun but nowhere as much fun as 35mm film cameras.
i have the a6400 and its already a very powerful camera with the things it can do! i love it.
I’m a working small time pro… and my second body is a 5100! And get this- I use my Zeiss 85 full frame on it most of the time, because I use a zoom on my main body for more flexibility, but then have that Zeiss ready when it fits the subject, and yes, it’s worth every penny.

But for an aspiring pro, crop bodies are fine to start with, but building a bag of full frame lenses is a good idea. The best crop lenses aren’t exactly cheap! Also, buy all bodies and lenses used, period. ;)
There is a reason why those lenses are cheaper, you will find out when viewing your pictures.
Apsc is not a problem. It's perfectly fine for most situations, but let's be honest - you need to use great light lenses. But also on FF :) I have a6700 and a7 IV and 1.4 GM lenses, then I have great outputs from both cameras without difference.
As someone selling my D750 fullframe right now I second this. There isn't enough space for all the bulky FF lenses + camera body.
This might be the most informative breakdown of FF vs APS-C I've ever seen. I also didn't know that trivia about 35mm film and cinema cameras :)
So at the end Full Frame has more background blur and better low light performance compared to APS-C, however with some tricks you can emulate the look of FF on an APS-C camera. I know cause I have used an APS-C camera and now I own a FF camera and it's just easier to work with.

Outstanding!! Thank you. I actually think this helped me finally get off the fence. The lens compression and bokeh now makes better sense too.

A d7500 is roughly equivalent to a Sony a6300 as far as image quality (they both score a 51)
sounds like renting a full frame first might be a good idea for some people
Bro I love 35mm lens look but in apsc I should get 23mm and 23mm blurry is like nothing that's why I am thinking to switch to ff.
Which 23mm lens are you using?

Other think that only a big bokeh is the measure for good photo. They shoot their cat or dog but sharp is ony everything until the ears. Can be a good photo, but not every time. You named it, the "full frame look". So I´m happy if someone who works with both systems is telling the truth. There are advantages and disadvantes of both systems, but to be honest, in the most cases a aps-c would be enough for the most amateuer photographers if the reasons are not the better ev or the bigger or more buttons. But it does not care me what the reasons of other photographers are, I´m totally ok with it.
Can you explain this to me like i'm 5?
Best breakdown video I have seen
Haha, I love ur explanation bro
Don’t mind me…. just appreciating this immensely. Philosophically, I agree. Technically, it’s also very helpful. I’m looking for a B Cam. A Cam is full frame and I’m doing pros and cons. But B Cam is basically going to spend its entire life in the studio. So you’re right APSC is gonna be fine because I’ll always have controlled lighting. Don’t need every tool to work for every single job.
Is 35m 1.8 on APS-C give the same background blur like 50mm 1.8 on Full Frame? Or would it be f/2.7 instead?
A 35mm 1.8 on apsc would give the same blur as a 35mm 1.8 on full frame
@@erwinmarionneaux now I got it. Thank you 🙏
My biggest price of advice is aps-c struggles a bit even in semi low light. You need a light bar or pannel even in golden hour sometime with apsc whereas with full frame you do not. Only big downfall for apsc and I know you can get a nifty 50 with a f1.2 but what happens when you don't want extreme bokeh in every picture? You buy a full frame...
Also.... Yeah high megapixel cameras have more noise but it's only when you pixle peep, but the high megapixel camera has a clearer image and still has the benefit of handeling low light better regardless. There's a video breaking that down saying it's a myth. A7s vs a7r noise
Which aps-c camera are you using? I don’t have any issues with apsc shooting at around f4 even at night unless it’s REALLY dark
There must be something else wrong. The differences between low light capabilities of FF vs APS-C is about 1-2 stops of light. Choosing one aperture wider and doubling your Shutter speed (like 1/100 instead of 1/200) is enough to have the same low light image capabilities as a full frame sensor.
Great explanation and analogy
This is good advice.
I've seen so many breakdowns and this has been the best one yet, many thanks!!
great info! hope people will not include aperture into the mix when doing equivalency stuffs. it's literally just cropping in,, aperture size stays the same

Very much awesome!!!
appreciate you , man
hey you answer my comments on tiktok. thanks for the info
Hey Erwin, great video! What's your advice on APS-C lenses vs Full Frame lenses on a full frame camera? I'm considering the Sigma 18-50mm vs Sigma 28-70mm for my Sony A7C, taking price into account (full frame is nearly double). I'm a beginner UA-camr looking for great quality video. Thanks!
If you have an apsc camera, you can use either, but if you have a full frame camera, you’d wanna use a full frame lens for the most part.
@@erwinmarionneaux will there be much of a difference in picture quality?
Excellent explanation
Good answer
Too much focus on this stuff about and not enough on finding and capturing an I age
Exactly!
Fantastic video bru ! Super easy to understand explanations. I actually bought the FX30 as a B cam to my FX3 for a few of those reasons, the focal lengths and having the benifits of both worlds. Shot a metal festival a few weeks back and when editing the video I had no idea which shot was from which camera. Also the price of APSC glass is something that makes me happy, I bought as set of Cineprimes that are T1.05 for the price of my Sigma 24-70 F2.8 full frame lens!
I have been a professional photographer for 15 years, I have watched all kinds of videos on photography and this one is the best explanation I’ve seen, and it was a confirmation on keeping my a6400 for more time. Thanks for the video
Really well explained. very helpful for people who don't know what they're doing with cameras like me
In the "old" days we had 1/2 of 35mm ... The "cheap" 35mm shooting only half the frame ... There are plenty excellent old film cams like that ... And yeah great comparison! Thanks. All the APS-C bashers should watch your vid.
Man i have watched so many explanation and yours is SO CLEAR!!! Thank you for this video. its amazing. You sir, earned a subscriber. Imma watch more of you now. thanks man!!
Well done
thank you, I actually learnt new stuff from this even though I already assumed I understood everything, you have a real directness and matter-of-factness when it comes to explaining and a clear way of speaking, great job!
Bro really cooked here
No offense at all but, you were talking quite fast and not concise and I honestly couldn’t understand some of the stuff you were saying.
It’s okay! I understand everyone won’t understand my delivery
@@erwinmarionneaux I am just a stupid Dane speaking danish German and english. I do understand everything U say. Even though U are in a hurry... Great. Lots off info.
This video just put all my decisions to rest. I was gonna hop in the full frame boat but I’ll start and stick with apsc. More for the money and very similar quality, plus there’s a ton of people making awesome content with apsc. Great video and explanation
Very well explained. I do feel like we ask for a lot of stuff in these cameras that we don't need or don't want to actually do the work to make the cameras look and work the way they need. I've watched movies with grain in the shadows, we also want the best Autofocus and we want excellent ibis but, most of the big expensive cameras don't have ibis and constant auto focus or auto focus at all . I feel we are chasing perfection when the best movies and photos were made with imperfections on purpose because it gives character to the images. This allows them to stand out.
Most videos fail completely to mention the sensor material, you touch on it - good, but that deserved 50% of your time not 30 seconds. good explanation for beginners, ( that's a complement)
Thank you for such a simplistic explanation of sensors. I was almost completely convinced that I needed a full frame camera. I did not want to dish out that kind of coin at this point. I really think APS-C may be the way to go for my needs. Thanks again.
I’ve never been on this channel, but man oh man this was hilarious! I got what I came for, excellent explanation with actual facts, and stayed for the examples that just kept making me laugh out loud. 😂 thanks for making this video. Now I am going to find me a basketball team so I have a reason to buy a bus!
great video. I really like how you explained things. Even though I already knew most of the information, it was refreshing the way you put it.
Now if you get the Sony A7CR, it's like getting 2 cameras in 1 body.
Explanation was on point👍 youve just earned yourself a Sub...
Thanks, now I have even more questions.
What are they?
This was actually the best explanation I’ve seen. I especially like that you walked through every step of determining how much crop the photographer will see based on the measurements and how they defer between hardware types. Thank you so much. You did this like an engineer would explain a complex system, and I love it!
This is the perfect video for beginners. This answered all of my questions. Thank you!
good work bro 💥
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 🗣️Say it louder for the UA-camrs in the back!
Well are you going to make your money back for it?! Love it! Thank you for bringing the humility and reality back!
Excellent
I'm gonna call you sir.. even thou you look young. Because you sir are smart and I know this because you just articulated the differences between apsc and full frame in such way that anyone and I mean anyone can understand.. to do this one needs to be smart and understand the issue..
You have earned my subscription and look forward to seen more of your videos.. thank you sir.
Awesome
