9/17/2023 0 Comments Crop sensor vs full frame![]() ![]() A cropped sensor affects the focal length of the lens amd captures less of the scene (inner orange crop).Īs such, the size of sensor affects the focal length of your lens. A full frame camera will capture a larger field of view. So for example, if I have a full frame Canon camera with a 50mm lens and you have a crop sensor Canon camera with the same 50mm lens, the crop factor is the difference in field of view or how much of the scene the camera captures. This is how the sensor of a camera affects the focal length of your lens. For example, a Canon camera has a crop factor of 1.6 and a Nikon camera has a crop factor of 1.5. Every camera brand has its own crop factor. How much of the scene is ‘cropped out’ is known as the crop factor of the camera. So essentially, the camera captures less of the scene then a full sensor camera from the same distance. Since a cropped sensor camera has a smaller sensor and captures less information, this translates in real life as a cropped image. They will also be heavier and bulkier in size. Full frame cameras will be more expensive due to their larger sensor size then a cropped sensor camera. The biggest disadvantage of having a larger sensor is the cost. A cropped sensor camera on the other hand, has a smaller sensor in comparison. Essentially, you will have an image which is of a better quality.Ī full frame camera is the gold standard when it comes to photography and the size of the sensor is comparable to the size of the sensor used in 35mm film cameras. That means a camera that performs better in low light, has a wider dynamic range and is able to capture more bokeh (background blur). The larger the sensor, the more information that can be stored. Since all the information about the images is stored on the sensor, the size of the sensor is very important. Another shutter then comes down in front of the mirror and the image is captured. Light enters through the aperture of the lens and hits the sensor where all the information about the image is captured. When you press the trigger button in a DSLR camera, a shutter goes up in front of the camera sensor. A camera’s sensor is the most important part of a camera that captures the image and all the information that you find in your image files, be it a JPEG or a RAW file. In order to truly understand the difference between a full frame versus a crop sensor, let’s first define what a sensor is. This will ensure you get the best quality Images for your food as well as help you decide which lenses you will need as part of your set up. Do you currently own a camera? Are thinking of upgrading your current camera and wondering what’s the best camera for food photography purposes? Or perhaps even buying a new camera for the first time? Then knowing the difference between full frame and crop sensor camera is vital. ![]()
