• Difference between full frame and crop sensor iso#

The full frame camera makes the lens seem a little shorter and there is a little less depth of field so backgrounds become more blurry.

Difference between full frame and crop sensor iso#

I can only conclude ISO performance is improving for this type of camera. However I have a Fuji XT-1 CSC camera which has a crop sensor and can shoot 2000 ISO or more with completely acceptable image. At high ISOs they generally have more grain than a full frame camera. The downside is they have fewer pixels so you lose resolution if you crop in post production. So it appears to add a bit to the length.Ĭrop sensor cameras also have slightly more depth of field than a full frame. They make things further away come closer than a FF camera using the same focal length lens because they 'crop' from the middle of what the lens is projecting onto the camera's sensor. This means crop sensor cameras make the lens appear to be longer.

This has the effect of making a 50mm lens appear to have the magnification of a 65mm, 75mm, 80mm or even 100mm lens depending on the size of the sensor. 24mm - 50mm - 200mm etc.Ī crop sensor is a smaller sensor so the area of light projected by the lens is bigger than the sensor area, so you only capture from the middle of the lens’s projected image. The light projected onto it fits it perfectly so the focal length of the lens is what it says it is. I’m only going to explain the main differences between full frame and crop sensor cameras and how they affect you creatively which will help ypu make an informed choice.įull Frame sensor means the sensor is the same size and shape as one frame of 35mm film. There are so many different sensor sizes I’m not going into the maths of them all here. Both have benefits so it’s a case of matching your needs to one or the other. The differences are technical differences, which in some circumstances can become creative ones. What’s the difference between a full frame and crop sensor camera? It can be very confusing when you’re starting out and looking for the ‘right’ camera for you.
