![]() Also, usually, people start photography with a camera that has an APSC sensor and later upgrade to a full-frame. It’s up to you to choose which camera sensor you want depending on the usage type. Here goes the lens and camera combination (for Nikon and the same is the case for other brands as well) that you need to know before buying a camera lens or body.Ĭamera with APSC Sensor = DX Body Camera with Full frame Sensor = FX BodyĭX Body + DX Lens = DX Output => Ideal for beginners.ĭX Body + FX Lens = DX Output => If you have plans to upgrade to Full Frame.įX Body + DX Lens = DX Output => No point in having a FX Body.įX Body + FX Lens = FX Output => Best Pro output. Go for high-quality glass, it is costly but it’s worth buying if you are into the professional photography business. ![]() When you are spending money on buying such an expensive body, do not think about buying a cheaper glass. ![]() Price – Full frame cameras are very costly and each of its lenses will be even costlier. The price difference between a Full-frame vs APSC sensor When it comes to wildlife and sports, it’s the same story where you might need that extra zoom to get to the subject and APSC helps, but people go for full frames because of the quality and the features that a full-frame camera provides. It’s not that you cannot achieve the same using full-frame, but you need to have a lens with a low aperture and a tripod is a must as you will be using slower shutter speed. This is useful in case you want everything to be in focus like landscape shots. But if you are looking for a larger depth of field then an APSC sensor would be better. Usage type – A full-frame sensor will give you a smaller depth of field and is ideal for portraiture so that you can use a wide aperture and blur the background, thereby making the subject look great. Full frames have a much better way of handling low light as they have larger photosites and hence users will not have an issue even if the ISO is increased to a much higher level to a few thousand. The size of the photosites (individual pixel) is larger in full-frame than the APSC sensors even though both the cameras can be of 24MPs. One is because of the 24MP+ sensor and the other is the large sensor size, with much larger individual pixels. Quality-wise, a full-frame performs much better than a camera with an APSC sensor. A 14-bit RAW image on my Nikon D610 is about 30 MB. Quality and Size – The images are larger and are of the best quality. So, when a 300m telephoto lens is used to capture an image: using a full-frame you get the same output of 300mm whereas using an APSC sensor you get a zoom of around 450/480mm, for the same lens with the same settings. An APSC camera has a much smaller sensor size and has a crop factor of 1.5x or 1.6x depending on the camera brand. A bit on Full-frame vs APSC sensor size – The full-frame camera has a sensor that is of the same size as a frame of a 35mm film.
