Yeah, I always have both a full frame and an APS-C camera for different use cases. While in most cases I actually do prefer full frame, APS-C is very nice for tele photography as well as for macro shots. So while, for example, I like to shoot portraits with my R6 Mark II and my 80-200mm 2.8, the 100-400mm is pretty much glued to my EOS 90D - sometimes getting switched for my 100mm 2.8 Macro.
Ive had both for a while now. When i sold off my a6600 and most of my lenses i thought id just go FF since i dont find the bodies that much different. Then the a6700 came out. It's the best apsc out. I had to buy back some of my lenses. I just personally enjoy owning both.
I love shooting with continuous light in the studio, so every bit of low light performance is important to me. But also with flashes in the studio... if you get one step more light with a FF, you can replace a big 600Ws flash with a small 300Ws flash* or a 600W COB with a 300W one. Or in the COB case you can lower the ISO again. * for most situations with low ambient light
Typically for any studio work i use my Full Frame Canon EOS-R unless i am doing something that requires high frames of continuous shooting which is rare, but when that happens i will switch to my Canon R7 and add on my Meike Speedbooster gaining an extra stop of light, plus giving me a full Frame look as well as the high Frames in Continuous. My videos are shot on My R7 with the speed booster which drops my 50mm f1.4 down to a 1.2 . Most times in studio i stick with a 200-300w flash and it is usually enough.
I have Four Pentax APS-C cameras I have two 6 megapixel CCD sensor cameras a *istDL from 2005 , K100D from 2006 both bought new & i still use . A Pentax K3-11 24 megapixel CMOS sensor camera from 2015 and a Pentax K3Mark111 from 2022 a 25 megapixel CMOS sensor camera For full frame I have a Pentax Spotamatic SP2 film camera I believe from the 1970's . The Spotmatic Takumar M42 screw mount manuel focus lenses will work on any of my Pentax cameras with a adapter ring on the APS-C cameras all my K mount lenses will fit any of my APS-C cameras as Pentax has not changed the K mount since the 1970's
Pineapple on pizza? Tried it. Yikes. Mixing sugar and salt doesn't produce good results for everyone. In North America, we have become masters at the art of taking recipes from other parts of the World and ruin them. Ask Italians what they put on their pizzas. LOL The debate APS-C - FF has stirred passions for many years now and probably won't ever stop. I agree with you, it's all about one's needs. It's hard to argue that APS-C is normally smaller, lighter and costs less than FF. That's a good enough reason for many photographers. And it's perfectly fine. Many people travelling like APS-C, M43 and even 1 inch because of their portability. If a traveler prefers FF, it's fine as well. Personally, I own both a Sony A7RV and a Sony A7CII. I have a 70 year old eyesight and shaky hands. Sony's AF has, for me, a game changer. I'm very happy with my choices. Sensor sizes and camera brands are more or less relevant. I have a buddy who is into boudoir and semi-nude photography and uses a Pentax K-1. I would defy anyone to say his pictures aren't at least as good as images shot with other cameras.
@@jean-philippeperetti8463 my 2ifes family is Italian and you are correct pineapple doesnt fly on pizza in Italy. However i like it. Lol These days cameras are all pretty equal, whether it be Af or megapixels or whatever. And whwn it comes to sensor size i see the main difference being low light performance. But again with each new.model even that improves. There will be a point when we finally reach a ceiling when it comes to sensors.
@@JeffGresham I used to subscribe to audio magazines years back and remember reading an article about technological advancements. The author was saying that as we approach the limit, each new technology is a smaller and smaller improvement but costs a lot more each time. It's probably the same with photography. Look at the insane prices we are charged for new bodies and new lenses. I.N.S.A.N.E. The author was also saying that some people buy new audio equipment based on technology and forget to actually listen to the #$%@ music and enjoy it. sometimes, I wonder if it's not the same with photographers. Read again what I said about my friend who shoots with a Pentax K-1. 😁😉
a lot of the hype around full frame comes from spec jockeys and professionals that had deep pockets and think that you aren't serious if you don't either. in all reality, they are all equally as good and any sensor size is good for most everyone, so long as you get a quality camera. to say that you cant be professional without full frame completely ignores the photos that have and currently are being professionally taken from fuji, om, sony, canon, nikon, and Panasonic crop sensors. each type has their own advantage, and its not something that should be fussed over. other camera features and lens selection are far more important. full frame has the potential for higher megapixels and better low light performance. however, the cost and files size are larger, and because of the extra data that has to be processed, they are typically can not burst as fast as other types. crop sensors are lighter, offer great pixel density and high burst rater shooting (as the files are smaller so it is easier for the processor to handle multiple photos), and have the added benefit of an extra 50-60 percent more reach. however, they are not as great in low light as a full frame (this is something that has greatly improved), and high megapixel numbers will inherently come with a bit more noise, however also fixable in post. micro 4/3 are incredibly fast, compact, have about twice the reach of a full frame, and have an incredibly massive lens selection. however, they are hindered by a typically smaller megapixel count and and are easily outperformed in low-light situations. stop being a spec jockey for pixels, as 25 megapixels is phenomenal for the people that aren't doing insane amounts of crop or posting photos to a billboard.
Thanks a lot for sharing your views. Since you are brave enough to try pineapple on pizza, perhaps you will be brave enough to try this experiment. At dusk, take an APS-C and a Full Frame camera with native lenses. Apply the crop factor to both the focal length and f-number (e.g. APS-C canon 15mm at f2 and FF 24mm at f3.2). Set both cameras to auto ISO. Shoot the exact same scene at the same shutter speed. Compare the images and try to identify which camera is doing better in low light. I'd be curious to know your answer.
not sure it would take bravery, but i'm pretty sure the results would favor the full frame, but then again maybe i'm wrong. i should investigate further.
100% true, having both is the right unswore...
thank you

i go back and forth, on which i prefer. because in the end it's 90% vision and 10% camera.

i've never used medium format, so i have zero education on them. however that could change soon.
