The difference (FOV) between the full frame(Canon 5DMII) and crop sensors(Canon 7D)

[elliottsteel123]

The lighting and video quality looks so much nicer on the 5D, brighter, clearer, crisper. And you get a lovelier depth of field. I'd happily spend more for the 5D, seems worth it.

[FieldsOfQuantum]

great



[TacTzords]

The 5D has a nicer finish to the video imo

[polaroidsky]

Whhhhoooooa. That is a big difference! I'm curious how a wide angle lens would look on both.

[kumar03051987]

That was a very good video

[Acarsfault]

My question is :

Fx 100 mm = 100 mm

Dx 70 mm = 105 mm

will be the same quality portrait ?

[newtophoto]

@Acarsfault It wont be the same portrait, the full frame sensor will have a different look than the crop one. Also the focal lengths are different. 70mm is still 70mm its the field of view that's different when comparing crop and full frame.  the full fame 100mm will offer shallower DOF and more compression of perspective.

[ExhaustedFX]

Is it a hidden message that he's smiling at the FF but not at the cropped sensor? jk

[onecrazymanau]

Well done that was just what I was looking for. Cheers

[azbor1cua]

@8x50scope Ah ok, all studio photographers should now shoot outdoors because you said. right....

[demonfrog1776]

THANK YOU!!!! FOR ONCE A VIDEO THAT IS HELPFUL!!!

[AldossariEOS]

So, which one is recommended? FF or APS?

[emmanouil1980]

Now imagine the mighty Kodak medium format sensor...

[Fylki]

I have now been reading all of the comments after watching this great video.

Yes the differance is big , its not always possible to take 4 step backwards beacuse :

Maybe you are inside of a building with no space to do so , or want to get the complete house from an outside shot from a cool angle etc.

I will now buy the Eos 5d mark ii !!

[xIIIxViperxIIIx]

never thought that it has this difference i thought it was a bit wider

[LEXPIX]

Nice comparision demo of the effect of the 1.6 crop factor.

[ShadowHero360]

music?



[felipejustin]

5d :)

7d :|



[gjvtorres]

Thanks for the comparison.  Huge difference.

[april97cobra]

Nervous, are we? :D

[LegendaryAdrenaline]

This was extremely helpful, thanks!

[strika71]

Thanks for posting this very useful comparison. It shows you just how much of the lens is not being utilized by a cropped sensor (7D, xxD, etc.).

And yes, you could take 4 steps backwards to get the same FOV as the 5D (in this example), but try photographing something large, like the Eiffel Tower, and you will be taking several hundred steps backwards :-)

[antropoloscar]

the 5 d looks amazing

[vlad2101]

The poor guy started sweating towards the end of the video :)

[vince1485]

thanks for this video. now I have an idea what full-frame is.

[M3mPHiS]

thx very neat

[MisterBokeh]

I have both full and cropped sensor camera bodies. I actually prefer the cropped censor for the 50mm and 85mm lengths for portraits.....I very much prefer the full sensor for my wide angles.

[2isTheNew1]

OH MY GOD! that you so much for posting this video! i hate how you can pay so much for a lens, then have it not be as good as if it were on a full frame camera! i was looking to get the 20mm for my 60d, but maybe i should just get a 12mm, that way it would be the same (because of the crop factor)..

[olholij]

Very nice and didatic video. Congratulations!

[RealtyStudioHD]

Awesome comparison! Thanks! This is the best test I've seen comparing them both.

[rojaslaz]

bottom line is: take 4 steps backwards and save yourself 1000 bucks, go for the 7d.

[azbor1cua]

@rojaslaz Until you run into a studio wall.

[r31ncarnat3d]

You're also forgetting that full frame bodies get much better performance at high ISO settings, and that they're capable of a much shallower DoF.

[dfdtdfdx]

@rojaslaz

price difference is only 700 bucks in Jpn

[MrMilkshakey]

@rojaslaz That won't get you far when you have a 400mm on....

[Anhslaught]

@rojaslaz

Is this really what crop sensor and full frame is all about? Just the distance thing? I thought it was more than that. Thanks for the video!

[animalbekker]

I agree and I have the 7D. but... when you cant step back like when your watching a bride walk down the isle and come closer by the second it does run out of space and you lose sooo much detail.

[iamjohannesen]

@rojaslaz its not always that u can go more that 1 step back :o

i got a 7D and am about to sell it and buy a 5D mark II, just for the full frame, but the 7D is an amazing camera, no douth

[Silencerco]

@rojaslaz Hahahaha! Love it.

[clubdriver]

@rojaslaz ..and when its time for wideangle landscape shots..? take 1 mile step-back ?..
