![]() In making your decision you should research as best you can, the quality of images coming from your preferred bodies APC or Full Frame at the budget you want to spend - they will not be not exactly the same - particularly if the pixel density and sensor design is different. While I loved the additional "reach" from the D500 and certainly the faster FPS, I found the images it provided to be "rougher" than those from the D810 or D850 when shooting at relatively low ISO, but at high ISO the D500 was better (The D500 tuned 2/3rd of a stop more towards low light than the D8xx). What do you lose with a cropped sensor - well starting with the size of photo-sites and their ability to provide smooth/relatively low noise images - my last cropped sensor body was the 2016 D500 (21.5mp) and at the time I also used a 2014 D810 (36.3mp) - the D500 12% more photosites per mm2 (the pixel size was 4.2 μm in the D500 -vs- 4.80 μm in the D810 and 4.35 μm in the 45.7mp D850). Some APC/DX systems shoot with high frame rates than their full frame cousins - this was the case with the D500 (all those years ago). Sure with a couple of button presses I can shoot cropped in a full frame body, but currently this give me almost no advantages over cropping on screen later. DX/APC lenses and camera bodies tend to be smaller and lighter.The crop factor provided by an APC or DX or even micro sized sensor must not be overlooked - the effective 50% (or more) boost in focal length when using the same gear is considerable - particularly when one is shooting small birds or from a long distance.Welcome - there are two immediate impacts, but first please consider what you shoot, who you shoot and from where and in what lighting conditions. In the end that's not a terrible thing and typically helps folk's wildlife photography. Unless you're after the lightest and smallest hiking and walk around kit I expect you'll be very happy with a switch to full frame as in many situations it has advantages but yes you may find yourself working harder to get closer than you're used to. Similarly cropping whether in-camera or in post impacts DoF the same way shooting with a crop body camera would so it can be a good tool but it's not without its tradeoffs.Īll that said, I can't imagine a situation where shooting your A1 in crop mode (or cropping to APS-C size in post) would yield image quality below what you're accustomed to with your A6600 now and all the other features like incredible fast action tracking would still work as expected so in every way it's an upgrade even if you have to sometimes crop back to what you're accustomed to and in situations where you can get physically or optically closer the full frame camera has substantial IQ including low noise advantages. IOW, the noise advantage of a full frame camera assumes you use most or all of that frame and once you crop to APS-C dimensions or further the noise advantage in the same sized output image disappear. Teleconverters can be good tools as long as you don't expect too much out of them and though I primarily shoot Nikon (plus a Sony A6300 which I love) from everything I hear from friends the Sony TCs are very, very good when paired with their better lenses.Ĭropping can always be used to some extent but many of the advantages you might get with a full frame camera evaporate once you start cropping deeply. IOW, getting closer is probably the big goal with the best results when you can manage that but it's not always possible. Yeah, there's an adjustment when moving to full frame from an APS-C camera and the suggestions you offer all work. Click to expand.Welcome to the forums and great questions.
