Hello Everybody, This video is presented by www.samys.com This tutorial is designed to teach you the difference between Full frame and APSC size sensors. This effects your lenses image quality and overall price of your digital camera. If you are serious about photography and your digital photography equipment you will get a kick out of this. Enjoy!!
@FontanaKnowledge but i’m hearing rumors that a 5d markIII will be soon available
and i am also considering it. thanks anyway for your time! and please keep uploading new vids…i’m learning a lot from u man! cheers!
I would get the 5D mark II personally. The upgrade in quality would be more significant to me than the fast aperture upgrade in the lens. =o) But thats just me.
which one to upgrade first in your opinion? body 500D -> 5d mark II
or
lens 70-200mm f4 IS -> 70-200mm f2.8 IS II
i can only choose one..since they are at the same price range i m really confused which one to go first.
thanks!
well explained ! Thanks for that bit info. best get saving for a full-frame then. I have dreams like yours too but the other way round. ha ha
Now I understand why my Nikon P5100 behaves poorly in low room light, even though it is 12MP. There is a lot more to a digtial camera then mere megapixels, which is what most people shop for.
Thanks for the video…made me understand the APS-C sensors…waiting for the second part of it…when would u be uploading that?
you should have mentioned that there is also a drawback when you are using a wide angle lens. Because the angle is not that wide anymore on a aps-c camera.
oh thanku very much i wasnt expecting the reply
i have canon 450d so obvious as u said i dnt hav full frame …thnaku my sweet frnd for the reply 
- ..
tc always!!

What camera model do you have. Maybe I can help. Also if you didn’t pay over $2,000 for your camera it is most likely not a full frame. =o) That is not to say that if you paid over that it is a full frame though.
m bit confused how can one find out which is full frame …coz i chkd my manual nothing is mentioned there ….
Character limit reached, so new post: also Fullframe sensors are better in low light as far as i was aware (you probably go on to mention that but it cut off
)
thanks for the videos and feel free to correct me if im wrong there!
regarding the cropping of an fx picture to make the equivalent to a dx picture (nikon terminology).
im assuming that the full frame camera would need the correspondingly higher megapixels,
because otherwise (assuming a FF 10 MP and CF 10mp) you are cropping out 1.4x your MPs on the FF. leaving you with around 7 MP in that image. vs 10 in the CF pic.
so the FF camera would have to have 1.5x the mp of the CF to allow the down cropping and not lose quality in the comparison. (assuming)
Cool, I hope you enjoy it. Don’t forget about the DVD ROM content. It has some templates for model release forms, copyright release forms and a few other things. ENJOY
i just got your dvd in the mail today! excited and ready to absorb! thanks Robert!
hi, i bought my first camera a at xmas. EOS450D. my question is: i’m looking to buy a superwide angle lens. with the crop sensor in my camera. would that mean, there wouldnt be as much crazy distortion towards the ends of the image because less of the the image is hitting the sensor?
oh ok, that makes sense. Its also worth mentioning that one way is backwards compatible but the other way is not. I dont remember which is which
A matter of cost I believe. To make something hobbyists and beginners can afford that is still quality for professional work is the motive I believe.
Full frame sensors are more expensive by far and make heavier cameras altogether.
Thanks for this, I have always wondered about this, though Im still a little confused. Why do they do APSC sized sensors,why aren’t they all full size?
@kimzor1989
Thank you!!!
@rhddrifter86 i mean
@imbxxxxxxxxx Actually dude you have it backwards a square IS a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t always a square. Anyways, thanks for the vids I’m watching them while simultaneously taking a class at school. I feel like I have a leg up on everyone else. The only thing I don’t understand is how can you meter with a flash in manual mode? I’m using film so I really only have one chance lol
@tissa71 You can. I think it’s called a MACK warranty but it will only apply from the day of your invoice.
sorry this is unrelated to the video topic, but I would like to know if it is possible to buy an additional warranty for a camera? Like for Mac computers you can get an extended warranty and I would like to have one for my cam if possible. I thought you may know something about it
The point and shoot camera I had prior to my D90 was a Kodak M1033 and just looked up its sensor size and it’s like 6.16 mm x 4.62 mm. With a sensor THAT tiny, and 10 effective MP, is that more of just a marketing ploy to get people to buy their cameras because most ppl are ignorant to the small sensor?
thanks, plays perfectly
