Why you DON'T need FULL FRAME in 2023

- Are you considering buying a full-frame camera, but wondering if it's really necessary? In this video, we'll explore the myth that you need a full frame camera to achieve great results, and explain why a crop sensor camera can be just as effective for many videographers.
We'll start by talking about some of the differences between full frame and crop sensor cameras, including how they affect image quality, depth of field, and low light performance. We'll also discuss the pros and cons of each type of camera, and provide examples of situations where a crop sensor camera can be a better choice.
Throughout the video, I'll show images taken with a crop sensor camera to prove that you don't need to break the bank on a full frame camera to capture amazing video. I'll also share tips for maximizing your crop sensor camera's capabilities, such as using high quality lenses and using speedboosters.
Whether you're a beginner or a professional filmmaker, this video will help you make an informed decision about whether a full-frame camera is worth the investment, or if a crop sensor camera is the perfect fit for your needs. Join me and discover why bigger isn't always better when it comes to camera sensors.

![Is Full Frame Better Than APS-C? Here's The [Annoying] Truth...](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tOx3Y52EPNI/mqdefault.jpg)
Very well explained, great content Zach. There is no reason to not start with an MFT sensor. Sometimes too much DOF makes filming difficult and risky losing the perfect shot. Everything is a learning curve. I still use my BMPCC4K and like it. 🎥🎬✅
That's an awesome camera!
Dude, this video was done so well! Subscribed can't wait to see some more of your stuf! Keep it up brother..
Thanks man!
This was very useful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome, thank you for explaining the difference between GH5 and full frame..
Glad it was helpful to you!
Hey hey. First time buyer here. Helpful tips. Thanks!
Great! Glad to help
Agree - I gave up my full fram gear and changend completely to OM System. Nowadays the image quality of mFT flagship cameras like the OM-1 is good enough for nearly everthing. And nearly all other characteristics of mFT cameras are more useful in practice compared to full frame.
Great workaround. I feel though it's not a 1/1 as the speed-booster expands the FOV like a lens, but the frame expands the image flat without curving (unless you're on a wide lens obviously). For $300 I'm just tempted to buy a used sony A7s for $400 for full frame stationary.
What lenses do you recommend for wide angle, real estate videos?
One potential problem with speedboosters is they can affect infinity and back focus depending on how you tuned it. E.g. You can make the Sigma 18-35 parfocal, but then other lenses will have issues with infinity or back focusing and you'll have to tune the element when you switch lenses (maybe not all the time, but some times).
Thanks for sharing! I had no idea
Just buy the $100 Viltrox speedbooster for each of the zoom lenses, problem solved.
Nice topic to discuss. May i ask what’s the best ISO to shoot at low light with GH5?
I know for most profiles native iso is 400 but I would never push it beyond 1600. You can get a usable image but the noise and artifacts start to break apart your image and color shift past that point in my experience
One reason that made me switch… Dynamic Range.
You just saved me some money. Was just about to buy an entry level FF body. However, the bodies I can afford are quite limiting and then the lenses are larger. So, am thinking about the Panasonic G9 over the Canon RP. I have Panasonic lenses already.
Yeah if you can use what you have and save $$ that’s usually the best option!
I have the Panasonic G9 since 4 years now, at that time I decided to choose the G9 over the Sony Alpha A7III and I’m absolutely not disappointed at all ! Great body for the price and with a the Panasonic 25mm 1,7 you have a great combo for a little bucks !
Can you tell me if I can do tethering in lightroom with the gh4 or if there is any program that does this?
No idea I don’t do that
f0.95 lens are the solution for low light
Switched from MFT to Full Frame and then back to MFT just for the size and cost. The only real benefit full frame has over MFT these days is autofocus really
I've never really had a problem in low light before but with AI noise reduction and upscaling getting so good it's almost a non-issue atp
That’s true I use neat video a lot for NR
The issue is when you need reliable AF, the GH5 or the GH6 are just not good enough in low light or when using fast primes.
100%
Welcome gh7 and g9ii
I like larger than full frame.
Remember however that the Sigma 18-35 is a DX ie APS-C sensor size lens. That means the crop factor is not 2x but 1.5x for Nikon and around 1.6x for Canon. I have a Sigma 18-35 for Nikon, which means it is full frame equivalent to 18mm x 1.5 crop factor = 27mm on the widest and 35mm x 1.5 crop factor = 52.5mm on the longest.
That means that the 0.71x focal reduction needs to be applied to those numbers instead of the ones printed on the lens. So on MFT it becomes a 27mm x 0.71 focal reduction = 19.17 mm to 52.5mm x 0.71 focal reduction = 37.275 mm.
This also means that the largest aperture actually goes up a notch with f1.8 x 1.5 crop factor x 0.71 focal reduction = f1.917.
This means that DX/APS-C lenses actually gets you back to your starting point, where FX ä/fullframe lenses do not.
With the Metabones .64 XL adapter it gets extra interesting in the way that the lens gets both wider and about 5% more open. So with a f1.0 you get a full frame equivalency of f1.0 x 1.5 crop x 0.64 reduction = f0.96.
Just updating about MFT, when chinese lens came to the market with F0.95, i no longer need full frame.. this lens is perfect for crazy bokeh, low light beast.. full frame look..😂😂..
