Is full-frame camera better?
1. Full-frame cameras have bigger, better pixels. Larger pixels can capture more color information and also capture incoming light with greater efficiency and less noise than smaller pixels. This is the main reason full-frame sensors can deliver better performance at higher ISO settings than so-called crop sensors.
What is the difference between full-frame camera?
The most visible difference between full frame and crop sensor is their field of view. For example, a Nikon APS-C crop sensor has a 1.5x multiplier. When a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens is attached to that Nikon DSLR, the focal length is multiplied by 1.5x and effectively acts like a 75mm lens on a full frame DSLR.
Is full frame important for video?
Full frame sensor cameras provide a wider field of view compared to Super 35mm/APS-C/Micro Four Thirds cameras. Having the wider field of view of a full frame sensor lets you achieve wider shots than what you would get with the same focal length on a camera with a smaller sensor.
Do full-frame cameras let in more light?
One thing that you need to understand is that although full-frame cameras capture more light, an image taken with a full-frame camera and a crop-sensor camera will be exposed similarly. That means you won’t magically have brighter images just because you use a full-frame system.

Do full frame cameras need different lenses?
