Nope, you can skip the math regardless of which crop factor camera you have, as long as you only have one crop factor. If you have a Micro-4/3, you get used to the angle of view that each of your lenses gives you. Who cares what the same focal length gives on a 35mm camera? Have you ever worried about the angle of view of a 90mm lens on a 4" x 5" view camera? Didn't think so. Only when you are COMPARING camera types and lenses do you need the math.

First, you said they look magnified then you said that they are not. Yet wildlife photographers use APS-C sensors because it gives them more reach for a smaller lens due to the crop factor. I understand the image cast on the sensor is the same size for the same focal length lens for those three cameras but it changes by the amount of the crop factor when the image is viewed on the computer screen.

I've been arguing the whole FF vs APS-C thing forever. I'm an APS-C shooter. I remember when I got hired under contract for editorial automotive photography. In the job description they stated "must have Full Frame Camera". I figured, nah, I'll let my images speak for themselves. Long story short, when they saw my samples, they immediately asked which FF camera I was using, was it Nikon or Canon. When I told them it was an APS-C Pentax, they couldn't believe it. I had my camera with me so I showed them. They still couldn't believe that I matched their shooting template with no FF camera. I told them if you know what you're doing, the camera format doesn't matter. This was a great explanation Tony, you nailed it!

Man, bravo Tony! This explanation is 👌. I just picked up my first full frame camera, the EOS R with the RF 24-105mm f/4 but was a little hesitant because it’s f/4. After some shots though, the bokeh is actually pretty good, even though most KZreadr’s will have you thinking you need a $2,200 f/2.8 for bokeh. My RF f/4 bokeh is similar to my crop sensor f/2.8’s and that just didn’t make sense, so I came to KZread and found your video. I’ve always understood full frame vs. crop factor with focal length, but had no idea about it applying to aperture too! This video was super helpful in giving a clear and proper explanation of the difference between full frame and crop sensor. 👍

I also love the absence of an (unnecessary) intrusive musical background and the addition of printed on screen information, which enables one to pause and study. Very professional.

Possibly the best, clearest video on this subject.

Hail Tony, this the only video I have seen full on KZread. Scientific with practicals, can not deny, rules out every unnecessary assumptions. Except high ISO and low light conditions. These factors manageable. Some what not comfortable with wide photography with APS-C. Tony has extraordinary knowledge.

This video is so solid, packed with knowledge, no small talks. Thanks so much!

Great video. My initial move to full frame though, was based on cost. Coming from micro four thirds, I found that wide angle lenses were incredibly expensive. The Sony Alpha 900 with legacy Minolta lenses was MUCH less expensive. Now I’ve moved to 1” sensor with a bridge camera that while certainly NOT the quality of full frame, it’s far cheaper than an interchangeable lens kit of equivalent focal range, and the quality is fine FOR ME.

Best explanation of crop factor ever. I know the video stayed away from pixel counts, but one point in favor of large sensors if they have lots of pixels that isn't mentioned is the increased capability to enlarge and crop. Here's an extreme example. While editing I've found subjects in nature photos that went unnoticed when I took the photo, but because the photo was taken with a large format, high-pixel-count camera, I was able to make a good image at 1620 x 1080 pixels out of an image that started at 7952 x 5304 pixels. Not great for printing, but beautiful on-screen where we see most of our photos these days. If I'm doing the math right, that resulted in a 5 x zoom factor. That took my 124mm exposure and presented a 620mm onscreen image.

Thank you Tony. We appreciate your expertise, honesty, and objectivity!

As usual you address misconceptions in the most straightforward, simple and scientific way. Really great video, thank you. I still think though that a smaller sensor may have an advantage when you need more light but deeper depth of field is required as well (e.g. group of people in low light).

Now I'm not saying crop= bad, there are professional crop bodies out there BUT if you want to do anything professionally having a full frame is so much easier to deal with than a crop IMO.

Tony, this is my first comment ever on KZread. This video has clarified the crop factor conundrum for me.

I own Micro 4/3rd's, APS-C, and FF cameras. In more than 90% of the photos I take, there is no real difference to me. But when I want to go with a really wide-angle lens, or I want minimal depth of field, or really low light, I dig out the full frame gear. But that isn't as often as it once was. When I want the smallest kit for travel, or maximum telephoto "reach" without breaking the bank, Micro 4/3rd's gets the nod. The APS-C camera is used 100% for work shots and videos, and as a backup body for use with my Nikon FF lenses. Truthfully, these days, if I had to choose one system, only for what I really do now, it would probably be my Olympus Micro 4/3rd's gear, even knowing the limitations it may have.

Tony... this was just the perfect video for me. You are a great teacher... thank you for your support and efforts putting such information together! I am learning! )))

Great info, Tony! Am surprised you didn't also point out that shooting with faster f/ stops makes the focal plane thinner, plus there can be noticeably different optical characteristics when a lens is more "open" [less contrast most notably]. Both of these things can significantly affect image quality and are a trade off to achieving background blur equivalent to Full Frame. Regardless of crop factor, the "focal plane characteristics" of a lens at any given f stop are still the same. This is visible in your example pics at 5:30 in the video; most notably the Micro 4/3 pic shot at f/2 - which shows the image characteristics of the lens actually being at f/2 while being used on a Micro 4/3 sensor with a crop factor that DOES impact things accordingly as you demonstrated.

With Canon you can have your cake and eat it. Keep the 80D (I still love mine) and get a used 6D for portrait shots. If you are into portrait chances are you already own 35/2, 50/1.8 and 85/1.8 and those are full frame. Or you might have a 70-200/2.8 already. I went that way some years ago. Granted my "main zoom" alread was a Tamron 24-70VC and I actually had no primes. But f/2.8 on full frame == f/2 on APS-C and the modern zooms are at least as useable wide open as Canons entry level primes(Sigma Art primes or the new Tamron primes are another thing). The 1/3 f-stop isn't that big a difference and the stabiliser might make the difference (I do some industrial photography in lighted installations like Zollverein or LapaDu ( is it okaymto be on a first name base here? Was nevee introduced. Maybe LaPaSie? ) and it spares me from lugging a tripod

Excellent video! For a trip to Alaska my wife bought me a Sony Alpha A100 with the APS-C sensor. I was not given the opportunity to give input into her buying decision, instead she talked to the guy at the camera store. I was very please with the gift, but when I researched it and learned about sensor size I was surprised that she didn't get a full-frame sensor. The talk online in those days was almost shaming people who didn't have full-frame sensor cameras. Well, yesterday I ordered a new camera with a 1" sensor as I wanted a lighter P&S camera for a trip to South Africa. I am amazed at all the features in bridge cameras! I've got over a year to get use to it.

I would only use full frame if I were making a living from photography. As I don't, I'm happy with my Nikon D7000, which is an APS-C.

there are pros who use MFTs and they make a living from photography as well and they don't gnaw on the hunger cloth either or only deliver inferior quality 😉😉😉😉😉

Much needed clarity on this topic. Extremely well presented technical explanation, while shedding light on marketing distortion. The importance of considering both sides of the equation, not commonly noted. Thanks! In regard to brief discussion of individual pixels, that would benefit from further exploration. Design differences/changes/improvements in sensors can affect the output significantly. And of course manufacturers can more easily fit more (and/or larger) pixels in a larger sensor. Great explanation! Thanks, again.

This is a most excellent video. I have been learning about that for years and NOBODY explained it that good. I got it now. THANK YOU!

Knowledge is treasure, thank you for being so free with yours!

Best explanation I've seen so far, thank you!

What a fantastic tutorial. Clear, simple, concise information and examples. Thanks.

This is the Ultimate Compilation Edition of a small video series you made years ago on what was a controversial topic back in the day. This should be compulsory study material for every self-respecting photographer!!

It's not easy to keep my attention for 20 minutes. You rocked the house w/ this one! ;)

This session is really enlightening, thank you very much. I understand my camera much better in terms of full frame equivalents.

This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject! Such a well presented informative video! Thank you so much!!!

I started out with an APS-C camera a few months ago, and I've been debating back and forth with going full-frame the past few weeks. After immersing myself into the field and learning everything I could about fstops, apertures, and crop factors, I was left not knowing what I should do and just feeling confused. This video FINALLY made everything click! I now know exactly what I want to do, and I feel totally confident about it. Thank you so much for uploading this!!

Thank you for breaking this down in a way that is unbiased, factual, and explains the math. For myself it helped me know how to appreciate the gear that I have, and just make technical adjustments, versus feeling like I have to buy all new gear to achieve the look of FF.

I forwarded this to my professor, with the heading, "What I wish I had known before buying my first camera" the class is Digital Video Production. Thanks! I saw this a bit late and landed on a T7i, but I'm still happy with my choice.

This video revealed to me how much more I need to learn about cameras. Overwhelmed but excited to know more.

Great video with clear explanations. One point unaddressed re crop sensors though is the fact they provide an instant boost in magnification for macro photography which is one advantage of not going full frame if this is your main interest when shooting. Basically the reverse of the calculations gives you the increased magnification ratio you will achieve.

this is a video that needs to be watched by many, as I'm often asked about whether I prefer mirrorless or full frame, as if the two are related at all-even by the "pros." this is very informative and by all means a well explained, through video. thanks guys!

Alan Nexus do you know that mirrorless have nothing to do with sensor size? So I’ll assume that you wanted to say “... prefer crop or full frame...”. Quite some time now that Sony for instance is doing full frame mirrorless camera for professional

wood nymph that the problem! It’s like comparing Apple 🍏 and mango 🥭. People are using word without knowing what that mean, just because it’s sound nice, smart or just following the buzz word of the moment! But don’t worry I get it. My point was just to highlight this funny comparison

I had to view the video a few times to fully grasp the message. My friend calls me a dork for spending the money to switch from DX to FX because he claims that shooting with a 100mm on a DX is exactly the same as shooting with a 150mm on an FX body. Many amateur photographers like to believe they can get something for nothing by using smaller sensors and shorter lenses. I knew that was illogical but your video makes it clear why people who earn their living in stuff like nature and sports photography choose to lug around those huge full frame lenses. Thanks.

By far the greatest help in a video I have even seen for my photography!

I just learned more in 10 minutes than I have in the last 12 months. Subscribed!

Great KZread , documentary , I would recommend everyone to watch this, who are not sure about full frame Vs Lenses and smaller frame Cameras, Great review done professionally & informally pleasant, and well put together.

By the way this is my new favorite photography channel

Came here to answer the question. YES. I need a Full Frame camera. Amazingly informative by the way. Thank you.

The best lesson (if you can call it that) concerning APS-C and Full Frame comparison. I have no problem with the maths. Excellent presentation! Thank you.

I don’t need full frame for my use. I sold my 6D last year to buy a M5. I don’t forget the math you also explain in your old video. APS-C works great for me, light and compact ! Perfect for traveling. Have a good day. From France !

@@ToxicGopher I dropped my D800e and D500 for to invest further into Olympus. I have 2 kids and love to go birding. I can tell you that neither suffered. I feel that I have become more into photography as of late. My D500 and 200-500mm just sat there on my desk for months until the change. It is so easy to throw my 100-400mm combo into the car every day and take it out when and if I need/want to.

Dear Tony, First of all, thank you for the valuable knowledge that you constantly spread across KZread for all of the photographers in the world. I have always found your videos so valuable thanks to the simplicity in which you explain different things and the examples you use while doing so. The latest camera I bought was the Canon 5D Mark 4 full frame DSLR with the 24-70mm f/4 kit lens, in order to be confident that I don't need to worry about the conversions and formulas you explained, as I am not good at all in mathematics, and want the best image and video quality I can afford. Also, as you mentioned, the 35mm film equivalent full frame sensor is the industry's standard used by all pro photographers except for those who shoot medium format photographs for printing a wall sized posters to stick them onto a building, those who use the likes of the Hasselblad for this purpose. I have chosen the full frame sensor over the APSC cropped sensor or the micro four thirds, simply because it gathers more light and the photo sites where the individual pixels sit are larger in the full frame sensor, resulting in a better low light performance. Moreover, as you explained when comparing different sized lenses, if you take three lenses with the same aperture and focal length but differ from each other in sensor size compatibility (one full frame, one APSC, and one micro four thirds), you'll get better results from the full frame lens although they all have the same aperture (much deeper bokeh effect and larger coverage of the scene), which means you'll need to buy better performing lenses for your smaller sized sensors if you want to get "similar" results to those of the full frame lens, and not to mention that you'll have to raise the ISO in those smaller sensor cameras to maintain the brightness, which results in higher noise levels. And finally, there are bokeh levels that you cannot simply achieve with smaller sensor lenses compared to the wide aperture full frame lenses, as the crop factor formula will give you results of apertures that don't exist in lenses such as f/0.X for maintaining the same level of background blur you achieved with your full frame lens and body.

Why everything he just said? 👀

It is sooo rare that a video actually teaches me something this essential that I wouldn't have known to look for

This video has been a big help deciding between a APS-C and full frame.
