ive been frustrated with crop sensor cameras, I can see in the dark with full frame, etc so many bs set up to get same results with a crop

[@Panotaker]

Instead of buying a new crop sensor camera, just buy a used full frame camera. You don’t need the newest camera out. I just bought a used Canon 5D mkIV for $800. I got a Sony A7R3 for $1200. People are constantly upgrading and selling their stuff. Nobody is going to know you took pictures, or shot your latest video, with a used camera, unless you tell them.

[@cheif80]

That's right

[@F.Razor718]

Facts! I bought a used a7iii for $999 just had a couple scuffs from the cage…twas a steal!

[@andresmaz]

What’s a good place or site to buy good used cameras?

[@Panotaker]

@@andresmaz I get all my used cameras locally on Craigslist, but I live in Austin Texas, which has a lot of people that make a lot of money, and are constantly upgrading. I have gotten even better deals on used lenses, from people who switch camera brands.

[@F.Razor718]

Im in the NYC area…b and h is a great camera store that carries used gear and they also ship but can be more expensive than facebook market place or offerup due to them baking in profit for themselves. Unique photo is a reputable store as well that also ships. I’d try locally first and use b&h or unique photo as backups.

[@chrisluckhardt]

All of my digital cameras for 15 years have been APS-C, and it hasn't negatively affected my photography career. It's only been an minor issue when clients asked for prints larger than 30x40.

[@shumatsuopost]

Love how you explained that in a very clear manner!

[@OverNoobin]

I really wanted the FX3, but I couldn’t justify the price when I know I can swap lenses between my ZV-E10 & the FX30… so I got the FX30 & I’m loving it. I’m investing in good glass instead of just a camera body & I think it’s a wiser financial decision for most people.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Here, here. I love my FX30 as well. It has a 6K sensor, so you can get very clean and sharp footage out of it. A no brainer, for sure.

[@brandonbutch33]

Hello, let's talk...I've got something for you 🎁

[@OverNoobin]

@@AllThingsFilm1 and I feel like I can really GROW with this camera. I love run&gun style, but my ZV-E10 always produced shakey footage no matter what I tried. I slapped the 11mm on the FX30 using active stable shot, & it’s been AMAZING. And that’s with the automatic settings because I’m still getting a feel for it. Just got my ND filter for the 11mm, so I’m about to let loose & make all sorts of film errors. 🤣🤣

[@Yahik0]

What lenses would you recommend for the FX30? primarily vlogging and using as a face camera at a desk. Was looking into the sigma 16mm 1.4 but without having used it yet hard to tell if that would meet needs for both use cases.

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Full frame cameras are ideal for wedding photography and product photography. I agree for KZbin videos, crop aps-c cameras are perfectly fine. Get decent lenses for crop sensor cameras like Sigma primes and the quality will be there! Decent lighting like adding LED to studio, or capturing in sunlight outdoors, keeps the images clean in crop cameras.

[@wearedecyphered]

I was considering getting a full frame for my three angle Podcast set up, this convinced me to just get a third 6400 with another sigma 30mm. Perfect timing on this release, because I was buying today 😅

[@mlevesque33]

A cropped sensor camera is not a problem when you work in a lighted environment.

[@eugenebrown3281]

FINALLY! Someone said it... thank you, Omar!! I feel like I've been searching for this answer for months. For YT and social media videos, you can crush it with an APS-C sensor and a Sigma lens. Or, as mentioned in the comments, a used FF camera.

[@kaspergaram]

Very good points. It all depends on what you need and want from your camera. For the absolute best quality, full-frame is often the way to go. But if you need to save money and you're fine with the limitations of the crop sensor, there's no reason to get a full-frame.

[@davidkeithcanete2152]

Very helpful. Just a minor correction though. Canon APS-C cameras have a 1.6x crop compared to sony and fuji which has a 1.5x crop.

[@robertdouble559]

APC-C sensors are pretty much identical in size to the film plane of a super 35 cinema film camera, ie, the cameras that have been used to shoot the vast majority of hit movies over the last several decades. "Full frame" DSLR cameras actually represent an oversized sensor in terms of film making. There are plenty of mega expensive cinema lenses that don't even cover film plane of a "full frame" sensor and you get port-holing and/or massive vignetteing.

[@brandonbutch33]

Hello, let's talk...I've got something for you 🎁

[@RafalGendarz]

You can’t compare cine camera to apsc, in matters of detail and dynamic range it’s much better than full frame so it’s misguiding comparison

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Really good points. Another thing to consider are the perspective you can achieve at any given distance. Typically lenses at the telephoto end have a compressing effect, whilst wider lenses do the reverse, which is where the old saying 'the camera adds 10 pounds' comes from. Outside this is less of an issue as you can just stand further back and have the same lens on, but indoors, when space is limited you may not be able to get enough back as that 50mm acts like a 75mm. As a pro wedding photographer getting the right perspective was often the difference between a flattering image and an unflattering one and why 'portrait lenses' are typically somewhere around 85mm.

[@v_r_]

Great video, bro! When I was upgrading from the M50, I was thinking of getting the R6. But I got the R7 and R10 instead.

[@shanescott3168]

Good explanation. I bought a couple of Canon cropped sensor cameras then started second guessing my purchases because I saw videos and read websites about how much better full frame cameras shoot photos and videos. I will start feeling better about it now.

[@MichaelHeredia]

Just sold my old A7ii and cheap FF lenses and invested in 3 sigma lenses (16mm, 56mm, and 18-50mm) for my ZV-E10 and am sooo happy I did it! I’m making it my goal to shoot purely APS-C this year (and maybe even beyond)!

[@BARAKABLESSING]

[@MichaelHeredia]

@@BARAKABLESSING oh man! Thank you so much! 👏

[@Timjacks01]

Great advice, I would also add you don’t need to buy new. Last 5 years the technology advances really slowed down and an ‘old’ camera is comparable to a new one, especially if people just shoot on auto.

[@yeahhobbs]

Who’s really shooting on auto let’s be serious here 😂

[@brandonbutch33]

Hello, let's talk...I've got something for you 🎁

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I love my (slightly elderly) full frame camera for sports photography. My photos improved by leaps and bounds the day I started using that camera with the same lenses as before. And, when I replace it, I'm no longer convinced I need a full frame camera. This video made a good argument as to why: the ability to buy another camera or even another lens or two at the same cost. KZbin gets a small camera and an elderly camcorder (used for shots of my desk). I actually started using the small camera as a walk around camera because it actually took good photos unless I was trying to truly compose something great. On video, I don't think the difference is visible, especially since my software can't handle 4K video.

[@VLOGNOSIS]

Micro four thirds is good enough for 95% of the work I do. Only for indoor still architectural photography do I need full frame.

[@reymarckremigio5843]

Hello I just can't decide which to buy between this 2 choices since they are both priced similar at $1500 a. Sony ZV-e10 with Sigma 16mm 1.4 & Sigma 56mm 1.4 b. Canon eos RP with Canon Rf 16mm 2.8 & Canon Rf 50mm 1.8 what would be your choice? at first I was sure with Canon cause its full frame but now I am slowly getting attracted with the Sony option because of that sigma lenses. PS. Gonna use them for event photogaphy/video.

[@JoseSanchezJr]

I'm just starting to set up my workspace, what color did you use for your studio?

[@chowacow]

1:37 * here because Canon which you would use as an example uses a 1.6x crop.

[@CryptoJones]

I have the Sigma DC 30mm on my 90d. It doesn't leave that body!

[@quiztasiarocks]

You don't need FF as the film industry has used Super 35 for decades and have amazing results. If it's good enough for film, it's good enough for us! People seem obsessed with "creamy bokeh" and go FF, but you can still have that in abundance, but composition, framing, background design, lighting is way more important!

[@CO8848_2]

Full frame was a stills thing, movies were made in s35, because you don't need background so blurry in story telling, and the lighting is controlled in movie making so low light is not as important. In stills, the resolution was steadily going up from 1mp to 100mp, and it does make a difference in resolution (landscape), dynamic range, low light performance and blurry background in portraits.

[@robertdouble559]

Stills films cameras load the film horizontally, Cinema film cameras load the film vertically, hence the different sizes of the frame.

[@robertdouble559]

...and then there's 2 perf, 3 perf and 4 perf 35mm. 2 perf films (used on plenty of network TV drama shows and some hollywood films in the 90s and 2000s by frugal producers) is only 22mm x 9.5mm, so WAAAAY smaller than "full frame" DSLR, which is generally around 36mm x 24mm in 4:3 mode and then cropped top and bottom for 16:9 or used full frame with anamorphic lenses.

[@yougood1621]

I have canon R10 show I buy Canon as my first full frame camera or should I just buy a Speed booster since I will lose so many features from R10

[@kilroyfilms7590]

been shooting weddings on 2 x EOS R full frame cameras and was getting ready to add an R6, but then the R7 came out and offers virtually everything the R6 doe, but for far less money. I am able to match Log footage across all 3 cameras and the R7 is my A-cam now, no brainer.

[@docfmf8404]

For video? Super 35 is the "most" cinema camera, apsc is closer to that size than full frame

[@super_guide]

A full frame camera is all around camera, day and night it's reliable, fx30 10 bit won't save your footage at night. 10 bit color on paper there is difference but in real life 10 or 8 bit doesn't make huge difference. And you know in good lighting condition even mobile phone footage will be enough for social network. But again for professional work mobile phone is not ok, that's I know

[@rupertbear5345]

Awesome thank you! Very informative!

[@hallio111]

number one reason for full frame and video is the bigger FOV, isn't it? most footage with aps c is way to zoomed in , doesn't look good at all. and Iam not talking about vlogging or youtube table-videos.

[@ArcticExploring]

ZVE-1 crop in on 4K so that is not a good camera for shooting 4K, just saying.

[@dccoletrain]

I’m blown away with the image from a used Fujifilm X-S10 I recently got. Even the HD looks amazing at 8 bit. Just need a better lens for video over the cheap pancake one I bought.

[@matthewmattiematt]

What about micro 4/3?

[@ElfstersRiflesandReloading]

I'm to the point, at least 80 to 90% of people that want quality video and pics, all cameras are over rated, expensive, too much screwing around, bulky, you name it and get the latest and greatest PHONE... not kidding

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

Their are so many different things to consider when it comes to video on any camera bodies beside the sensor size, this also goes for photography. Not all sensors of the same format are created equal. Some cameras are more video centric than others regardless of sensor size. Some cameras will crop the video some will overheat in a very short period of time, some have fans built in to help cool the camera. Second some cameras have better processors than give more video capabilities than others, lastly some lens are better choice for video than others and some cameras have IBIS AND can handle rolling shutter better. So for some one looking for a good video camera sensor size is far from the most important aspect of a camera, you need to look at the camera as a total package, this also goes for people that only do photography with a small amount of video.

[@piperplanetvlogs]

Great info. Thanks

[@theBIGgee]

[@josecolon8143]

Ok please let the viewers know that a 35mm sensor IS NOT a full frame sensor. As of today Jan 21, 2023 only the film industry has full frame sensors. A full frame sensor is that bigger than 8x10 (that’s roughly the size of an X-ray negative plate) and not all full frame sensors (bigger than 8x10 are not made the same! All others ARE “cropped” (not really) from the film industry full frames. Now every sensor has it uses that’s why the super 35 (24mm) sensor applies so well on video and many other things. Cameras with 24mm sensors usually come with tons of features we seldomly see on their 35mm counterparts. Today I shoot Canham 8x10 (film), Leica 35mm digital, and Fuji 24mm digital. I had an Olympus but my daughter took it from me (lol). Every sensor size has it uses and if you don’t know this fact you’ll be struggling all your life because if not accepting the compromises and adapt to them. That’s the magic of photography. Know the limitations of your tools and learn to apply them in their fields! 35mm is NOT the best nor the most reliable, none of them are! Young guys and gals get out of KZbin and learn art, history and attain knowledge to become proficient because without knowledge no matter what you have you won’t succeed, but with knowledge everything will shine! Great video young man 👏👏👏👏👏
