Our Lessons Back !

----------------------------------------------------
As you decided/started to use DSLR cameras, you started to hear about these two terms " Full Frame and Crop Sensor "
You probably begin to wonder which camera should I buy? the cropped or the full frame one and what is the differences, Well you have to wonder and we will clear things to you!
What does Full Frame & Crop Sensor mean ?
The term “full frame” refers to a sensor size that has the same dimensions as the 35mm film format. if we back to the 1900s where there was only one sensor size 35 mm 4mm x 36mm so when we refer to "full Frame" we are pointing at the 35 mm sensor size. while the Crop sensor simply mean " cropped" smaller sensor than the full Frame one.
Advantage and disadvantage of Full and Crop sensor:
The first deference you would notice is the field of view size, if you use both crop and full frame sensor
and shoot from exactly the same distance and lens you would see that the cropped one shot
would be tighter than the full one.
Full Frame is good for low light, because it's allow more lights to come in than the cropped one also it gives a better photo quality, it's perfect to
architectural, Landscape, and nature photography. The other issue is that full frame cameras are far better in low light,
is great in low light and offers some unique image qualities,
The last thing is that full frame DSLRs have a shallower depth of field,
means the area in focus is tighter than the cropped sensor.
What To Buy Full or Crop ?
After all the thing you need to know when you decide to buy a Full Frame DSLR is, the price! The Full Frame DSLR cameras are much more expensive than the Crop sensor ones.
If you're a beginner or have a low budget I recommend to start with a crop sensor, and still you can get a good photos.
There are many great photographers using a crop sensor cameras.
Full Frame and Crop Sensor Lenses:
All Lenses are measured based on the Full Frame sensors,
For the crop sensor, when you buy a lens for example it says 35mm that's mean you will get that focal length multiplied by the crop factor
of your camera for example 35mm x 1.5 (Crop factor for most Nikon cameras) = 52.5mm
And that's mean by buying 24mm Lens that's will give you 36mm which close to 35mm.
