When you buy a Wide Angle lens, a 35mm or a 50mm, etc. Whichever you buy, it will always maintain the focal length with which it is designed. Compared to an APS-C camera, you will have a greater viewing angle. The dynamic range is also better for the same reason. Full Frame cameras, being able to capture more information, capture more dynamic range in a scene, or what is the same as saying that they are capable of better capturing detail in lights and shadows within the same image.
#APS C SENSOR VS FULL FRAME FULL#
LESS NOISE AT HIGH ISO VALUESĪ larger sensor also affects the behavior of Full Frame cameras at high ISO , because having more information to work with, they perform better at higher sensitivities, generating less noise than cameras with smaller sensors.
This implies that Full Frame cameras are capable of capturing more information than other cameras with smaller sensors. Simply explained, we can say that being larger, it better captures light and information, giving rise to heavier RAW files but with more information. HIGHER IMAGE RESOLUTIONĪ larger image sensor means larger photodiodes that capture the brightness of light for each pixel located on the sensor. Having a larger sensor means that Full Frame cameras capture more information, which translates into aspects like the ones I explain below. ADVANTAGES OF A FULL FRAME CAMERA VS APS-C
Now, what does it mean for practical purposes that one sensor is larger than the other? Let's see the advantages of each one. If you have taken a look at the definitions, you will see that the difference between the Full Frame sensor vs the APS-C is their physical size. You can see a relationship of the sizes of the different types of sensors in the following graph. WHAT IS FULL FRAME?įull Frame means full frame and refers to the size of the sensor in cameras. A Full Frame sensor has a size equivalent to the 35mm of the old analog film cameras or, what is the same, approximate dimensions of 36x24mm.ĪPS-C are the acronyms that define what we popularly know as a cropped sensor. APS-C sensors are smaller than Full Frame, having an approximate size of 24x16mm. When we want to buy a camera or simply assess our options, one of the first big decisions we usually come across is, should I buy a Full Frame camera or an APS-C ? Which is better? What differences are there between a Full Frame camera vs an APS-C camera?įortunately or unfortunately there is no single answer to this question because it depends a lot on the type of photographer you are, the type of photography you like, etc. However, at the end of this article you will not have any doubts about whether a Full Frame or APS-C camera is better for you ?.
