![]() This can be a pretty substantial advantage if you were shooting medium or even low-quality lenses. Say for example you were shooting at an f2.8 on a full-frame camera, the background would be much blurrier than if you were shooting an f2.8 on an APS-C sensor. (How blurry background gets from your point of focus.) It’s hot a huge difference but is noticeable. Because the full-frame sensor covers more surface area and is hit by more light, it allows for a shallower depth of field. The other major advantage of a full-frame sensor is how it works with the optics. This would allow you to close down your aperture a bit more or increase your shutter speed slightly. This isn’t anything major, but for someone shooting weddings or sporting events you might want that additional stop of light. ![]() On the Canon cameras, the difference is about one-stop and with the new 5Dmkiii, it’s even a little more. So naturally, a full-frame sensor will perform better in a lower light situation. I’ve also included the Micro 4/3 sensor size since it’s similar to APS-C and also very popular.īecause a full-frame sensor is larger it covers more surface area and takes in more light. It’s also important to note that megapixels do not matter when comparing sensor size, since the difference is entirely how it works with the optics. It’s ultimately this size difference that is responsible for any change in visible quality between the two sensors. So why would I want a full-frame camera vs an APS-C camera and what is the difference?Ī full-frame sensor is roughly the size of 35mm film, and an APS-C sensor is slightly smaller. There is often this idea around the interwebs that an APS-C camera is good enough for many professionals and that the difference between a full-frame and an APS-C sensor is almost negligible.
