Full frame sensor or smaller sensors?
SLRs with full frame sensors are definitely more expensive. However, the larger and MORE pixels you have, the better overall quality, color depth, and sharpness you will have. I didn’t realize this until I started shooting with both. Images captured with a full frame sensor can generally be manipulated and even resized better than images captured on smaller size sensors. One major advantage of smaller sensors (besides lower cost) is that this created a magnification effect (Canon is 1.6x and Nikons are 1.5x) for lenses. In other words, put on your lens and the focal length will increase by around 50%) A 100mm lens becomes a 160mm. A 300mm becomes a 480mm incredible telephoto! So this is a great advantage if you do a lot of telephoto work. However, consider you have an older “non-digital” lens that is wide-angle like a 20-35mm lens. With the multiplication factor, this lens then turns into a 32-56mm! In other words, your really nice wide-angle lens just became a normal lens! This is one
