Camera Sensors.

Examples of Full  Frame Cameras:

Differences between full-frame and Crop Sensors.

The main difference between the two camera sensors is their field of view.

• Full frame cameras show the entire image, whereas crop sensors only show part of the image.
• Full frame has a wider focal length and increased depth of field.
• More detail and quality produced from Full frame sensors. This wider focal length allows more detail to the images.
• The view depends on which sensor is used. Zoomed in image and point of view from Crop Sensors.
• Full frame cameras are also physically bigger than Crop Sensors.
• If you are using a crop frame camera the sensor is cropping out the edges of the frame, which is effectively increasing the focal length.

Advantages

Full frame cameras use larger lenses, they can produce a brighter viewfinder image.

Full frame sensor is larger it can accomplish more shallow apparent depth of field than an APS-C sized (crop sensor) camera.

On the other side, while a crop sensor DSLR doesn’t provide the same level of image quality as a full frame DSLR, it does offers major advantages when it comes to cost.

It can also be very effective for telephoto photography for the extra reach gained from the crop sensor multiplier.
