Nice explanation. I personally own a full frame Canon kit and a M 4/3 Olympus Kit. I purchased my Canon igear around 2005 when my kids were in middle/high school sports and wanted to capture great pictures of these moments in time. 4 years ago I purchased some Olympus gear for a traveling vacation. Now I am shooting everything on Olympus and my Canon gear is collecting dust. I occasionally work as a professional as a second photographer at weddings and music concerts and love taking pictures of pets and our grand children! The limitation 99% of the time is the operator of the the equipment!

In the film days, I shot 35mm small format film, 6x7cm medium format film, and 4x5 inch large format film. All three film sizes worked well for me. However, medium format was my personal favorite. In the digital era, I shoot micro 4/3, APS-C, and full-frame. All three sensor sizes work well for me. However, I shoot APS-C more than the other two.

That was very well put for people to understand, thank you. I had already reached the conclusion that micro fourthirds was the optimum solution for me personally, after having looked at many excellent quality photos taken with them, and, after liking SLR 35mm years ago, and getting on ok with very small compact camera’s with much smaller sensors used while travelling in the meantime. So M43 is a huge upgrade from those, while providing many of the benefits of my old SLR. The added incentive was becoming disabled, and your point about full kit size and weight is personally very significant. I have a large unwieldy camera bag at home, to store lenses and other gear in, and have just ordered a small bag to take a Lumix G95 camera with a fitted lens, and up to 2 other lenses for days out. The size and weight of the M43 lenses has been a very nice surprise, and also, the price and size of some of the excellent vintage lenses has been good news too. I’ve had a couple of bargains with Pentax SMC lenses, such as a mint condition 55mm f 1.8 for under £40. Which becomes a 110mm in M43. I’m hoping to get back into monochrome photography, but mostly into astrophotography, and with a cheap lightweight tripod - legs not extended for strength, I’ve worked out the weight will be fine if I bin the junk camera mount and replace with a really good ballhead, Mount, I’ll be able to sit down to do Astro, thanks to the G95’s twisty touchscreen. Standing around in the cold doesn’t work for me any more. Thanks again, and best wishes. Bob.

Hi: This was a very well detailed and positioned comparison of the various system. I have recently moved from a Nikon D810 system with big glass over to the Olympus M1Mii with pro level glass. I agree with all of your points, but one additional benefit comes from when you are actually travelling on an airplane. Because you can use a smaller camera bag, you are more likely not to draw attention to yourself at the gate. Cheers, Keith Pinn (Barrie, Ontario Canada)

Most photographers do not need an FF sensor, many use the FF sensor for their ego, although a much more compact and lighter Olympus is great for most photographers. Most often the composition matters more than the quality of the picture. In addition, Olympus has a much better stabilization than most FFs and you can use a much lower ISO, you can take pictures holding the camera in hand with exposures even for 5 seconds

Several issues I would have expected: wider angle of view possible with FF systems, more reach with telephoto lenses on APS-C or M4/3 lenses, e.g. bird photography, greater zoom ranges on lenses with APS-C or M4/3 systems, shallower DOF with FF / greater DOF with APS-C and M4/3 for same focal length. However, the material presented was spot on and clearly demonstrated.

I really appreciate this video as I don't feel a huge sense of loss for not buying a Full Frame camera as my first camera. I purchases a beginner Canon EOS Rebel T5 a few months back with excitement in getting into Astrophotography and have been impressed with the quality. Since then I've bought some lenses and thought, "Oh man, I want more landscape style shots with the Milkyway". My first wide lense purchased was a Tokina 12-24mm aspherical and a Rokinon 8mm Fisheye. Haven't tried the new lenses at night yet, however, just in comparison to the 18mm kit lens was a huge comparison. I'm very happy with my purchase as it was in budget, and I continue to be impressed with a camera from 2011. Love this Camera! Thanks for this Video. It settles the issue for me!

Great video, as always! Another question worth considering is, what kinds of photos do you plan on taking? If you’re planning to shoot wildlife or sports, for instance, you may want to take advantage of the extra reach that the crop factor gives you. A 300mm lens on a micro 4:3 gives you the equivalent of 600mm on a full frame, and you can get it for a fraction of the cost. This is why even some pros use APS-C or 4:3 cameras for long wildlife shots. But maybe this is the only type of photography for which this consideration really matters? It’s true that at the other end of the range, the crop factor works against you (14mm is a very wide angle on full frame, but the equivalent of a modestly wide 28mm on a 4:3), but manufacturers do a lot to account for this by offering significantly wider focal lengths as “standard” (by which I mean a normal-use kit lens, as opposed to special-effect such as fisheyes) for smaller sensors than they do for full frame. But at the long end, the advantages of a smaller sensor should not be overlooked!

@WestCoastUSA546 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed!

@markhoffman9655 4 жыл бұрын

With the arrival of AI/machine learning apps for photo processing I think will give a lot of advantages for smaller format cameras. The big sensor/big MP advantage is going to be undermined by new upsizing programs can take a "small" 16MP photo and enlarge to 64MP (and more) with very good results - and this is just the first generation of this technology. So you can save terabytes in storage and just enlarge selected files when required.

@jonathanallen4707 4 жыл бұрын

(New subscriber) Thank you so much for a straightforward recap of sensor characteristics. I personally believe it is all too easy to be romanced by the notion that a non-full frame camera is definitely a poor relation when in actual fact it more than meets the user's needs. However, the larger, heavier, more expensive full frame is out there and is becoming ever more attractive regarding cost. I travel a lot and have therefore favoured m4/3 for years with absolutely no regrets. Until the latest review comes along...and the Sony A7 iii beckons! Upgrade to the Olympus OM-D E-M1 MK2 or...MK3 or....A7 iii? Oh dear!

Thanks Mark good explanations. However I would like to point out that some M43 camera bodies are now more expensive than FF camera bodies. The Olympus EM1 MK iii body costs about £1600 and you can get a Canon RP body for around £1130 incl the EF adapter, R lenses are big and expensive for now. The Olympus is feature rich with seemingly superb in body image stabilisation, whereas the Canon RP is more of a bare bones camera. The reasonably small & feature rich Nikon Z6 body costs £1500 and its kit lens is not too expensive either. APSc cameras start from very cheap kits and go up all the way to 1600+ for the latest Fuji. are getting more complicated, sadly.

Thanks for this video; it was very well done. You made the point well that for most camera users (the vast majority of users are non-professionals) the picture quality (which is almost the same except under some unique low light conditions) is less the question than is the cost difference/weight of the system when selecting a FF camera versus an APS-C or MFT camera. Camera manufacturers are competing for a limited amount of disposable income; customers already are carrying around in their cell phone more camera than most people need. As such if manufacturers want to keep their market share it will require that camera systems become less expensive so the incremental investment in a camera system is realistic for the average person. I believe for this reason alone that the market share of APS-C or MFT cameras will continue to grow and given the ever increasing quality of these cameras will eventually take over the market for cameras.

Thank you!! That was an excellent presentation. I had purchased a camera with an APS-C sensor and had been considering trying to "move up" to a full frame camera. However, I realize now that I wouldn't realize any benefit from a full frame camera because of my level of photography (i.e., entry level hobbyist). Also, I didn't realize that the APS-C was almost 2/3 the size of the full frame. I thought it was a lot smaller. I truly feel better about the size of mine ... the sensor I mean.

I have a FF (Pentax K-1) but only so I can use some old film era lenses in the way they were intended. Otherwise I'd have a APS-C (and I have had one). A quality APS-C camera is more than good for general photography.

Great vid I carry both the 5D and 7D with various lenses I only have a couple of APC lenses that I can only use with the 7D but obviously get a greater focal length when using the full frame lenses on the same camera, having both gives me horses for courses, I have normally decided what I’m taking out when I go. Having a twin camera harness works for me as well. Stay safe everyone

Thank you for this video. My old Pentax K-50 died last year, but with starting paramedic school, I just didn't have the money to think about photography. Now that all of it is done, I want a new camera as a Xmas gift to myself. I have a small collection of lenses for my Pentax, but I am tempted by the smaller size of the mirrorless cameras. Go mirrorless and sell off my old stuff? Buy another Pentax with an APS-C sensor?

Hi. I'm an absolute newby to the camera world however always had an interest in it. I'm finding your videos/tutorials perfect for newbies like myself, all is explained thoroughly,simply and most importantly slowly. The way you compare a good image to a bad is giving me the knowledge I need to determine if I'm doing things right. Just got myself my first camera yesterday, a canon 1300d, a nifty fifty/50mm canon f1.8 STM and a sigma 17-50mm F2.8. From watching many a videos online I believe this is a good starting point for me, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Steve
