- Hello CZcamsrs.
What is the difference between a Full Frame and an APS-C camera in regards depth of field ??? Or is there any difference in the DOF between the two??? Yes it is and no it is not. Many times people get confused when it comes down to sensor sizes and formats and it can be a bit confusing at the beginning. But if you start to understand the basics of photography it will be easier . So in this video I would like to explain and share with you some facts about the differences between APS-C and Full Frame cameras mirrorless or DSLR it does not matter. There are certain situations when it is really handy to understand this topic because you can use your camera more effective if you know it`s advantages and disadvantages by compensating the disadvantage with faster glass or more light or different tricks and tips. So let`s see what I`m talking about and discuss this topic for a second.

Many people forget 1.4 lenses were developed when people were shooting with Kodachrome 25 or Ektachrome 64! Even Tri-X B & W film was only ISO 400 and was the fastest film available. Now you can get ISO 25,600 on sensors! Any ‘fast’ lens is an optical compromise wide open and has soft corners and higher distortion. F 5.6 to f 8 is usually the ‘sweet spot’ for best optical performance.
Perfect explanation Attila. Great video. Of course MFT cameras are fine for studio portraits where you have a plain background or you are not bothered about DOF. There are a couple of guys who do amazing studio portraits with them. Gaving Hoey and Joe Edelman spring to mind. I like having the option for DOF but without the price tag of full frame. That's why I love APSC cameras. My next camera will probably be the X-T2.
Scott Williams excellent choice. The price is going down considerably after Photokina I guarantee you, because the X-T3 will be announced.
Common sense explanation at last. Great Job !!
Dominic Logue thanks man.
Very nice and informative video like usual. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for explaining.
Ali Anis thanks mate. 👍👍👍
Trying to get my subjects from lower waist to a little over their head in a small bedroom. The sigma 18 to 35 on a crop sensor looks incredible when it’s up close. Would I be able to achieve the shallower blur from waist up in a medium 11x12 room with a full frame? Thanks! Trying to convince myself to not get the Canon RP over my 90D
It is possible especially if you get a fast wide prime for those kind of situations. Sigma has the big brother of the 18-35 for full frame cameras. It is the 24-35f2 art. So you will have the same angle but the depth of field will be definitely more narrow.
Great explanation Attila! ; ), as your knowledge and experience go up your reliance on gear goes down, I can get nice backgrounds with my 1 inch sensor rx100
Longrider absolutely agreed. If you know your gear and you know the disadvantages you can work around in most situations. Not all the time but most situations.
Well explained, Attila!
ds.techie thanks mate.
Spot on as always Attila. Whilst we can use aperture to control depth of field, ultimately the governing factor is simply how far the subject is from the sensor. By that token it doesn't matter what the physical size of the sensor, all things being equal ( not in terms of equivalence ) the depth of field will be the same. The same argument can be made in terms of lens compression. Regards the obsession for super fast aperture lenses, I'd say we are all guilty of that lure lol. However, it doesn't take long before you grow out of constantly shooting wide open ( just because you can ) and start to use aperture creatively not simply to grab more light into the camera. You mention portraits as an example where you would use very wide apertures, I am perhaps on the opposite end of that spectrum. I prefer to use f4.0 and above especially since going full frame. I find shooting any shallower makes it difficult to keep the face in focus fully particularly in offset profile shots. Sure, I use wide apertures for creativity purposes so I'm not suggesting their use is pointless. Maybe I've been shooting for so long now that super wide apertures are just Meh to me, been there, done that, type of thing 😋
dunnymonster in my opinion it is more important to know your gear and it's capabilities than pixel peeping and arguing about non sense BS. Thanks for your informative comment mate. 👍👍👍
The problem is that most of youtube channels can be very confusing with explanation ,especially for beginners. For a long time i thought that everything from the exposure triangle has to be multiplied with crop factor.Was it my lack of knowledge back then or poor (wrong explanation) by popular photography youtube channels. Know,for me it is much easier to notice stupid mistakes some famous youtubers make, but because of their huge EGO they are not willing to admit that.
Milorad Karavidin everyone can make mistakes. We are all human beings so we make mistakes. But yes I agree with you that there are some channels out there who doesn't admit that they made a mistake.
It is funny though that their channel is very successful 😂😂😂
Blue Sky Photography Yes and we all know who you are referring to! So many You Tubers have watched and got this wrong....Thank you!
People always care to much about gear. This days all micro fourth thirds have better image quality than few years old full frame, but that 3-4 years old full frame cameras using all pro photographers, even 10 years ago they been pro on that cameras with max ISO 6400. We have now to many photos with HDR they didn't looks natural its not the same what one decade ago where Your skills and good moment shot that perfect landscape for example
Kamil Lisowski absolutely agreed. That's why I switched to APS-C. 👍👍👍
The thing is that nowadays people aren't patient anymore. They want everything and they want it just like that snapping finger. So the business has given the answer : fast foods, IT companies that are selling projects with no quality but ressources, and Snapshot applications to feed rushers with crap pics... People aren't patient anymore, but at least a well taken and post processed pic will always be above the average fast-fooding-snapshoting 😉
ActionPhotoPassion that's correct. That's why I always say that learning and practicing is more important than buying new gear. 👍👍👍
