Sensor size may be less important that you imagined.<\/h2>\n

Traditionally I would advise people to get a full-frame camera if they could, but it seems like the necessity to shoot with a full frame sensor has been diminishing over the past few years. Full frame cameras get better bokeh (background blur) and they don\u2019t have a crop factor, but in many ways they are as capable as their cropped sensor counterparts.<\/p>\n

Lens manufacturers\u00a0are creating more lenses designed for cropped sensors, lessening the ‘inconvenience’ of shooting with a cropped sensor camera. So, the biggest consideration is the size of the crop factor. Whereas, a regular APS-C camera has a crop factor of around 1.7x, the difference between this and a full frame camera is lessened. However, if you’re shooting with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, which has a crop factor of 2.88x, you will see a significantly larger difference between this and a full frame camera.<\/p>\n

The following video created by Zack Arias<\/strong> shows us the real difference between a full vs. cropped sensor. In the video, Zack shares his opinion on why you shouldn\u2019t care so much about cropped sensors.<\/p>\n
