![]() This is another reason why I prefer APS-C. Full frame lenses are typically more expensive as they require more expensive glass and components. Expect to pay over 3x the amount you’d shell out for one of the Alpha models we’re talking about here.īut don’t forget to factor in the price of lenses. For example, the Sony a7 IV has a massive 61MP sensor that provides photographers a lot of flexibility in post production. Plus, if you need details and the ability to crop and zoom in post you simply can’t beat having a full frame camera with a lot of pixels. So if you typically shoot in dark places, such as concert venues for instance, the extra light will come in handy. You just can’t beat a large sensor when it comes to allowing in light. If you’re shooting wildlife and need to get up close to your subject from a distance that could be helpful. That’s because the same lens - say, a 50mm - will give you more reach with the smaller sensor and provide a more intimate result. Likewise if you’re shooting short films, music videos, documentary and corporate an APS-C sensor often might even be better than full frame. ![]() You can still switch out lenses when needed and capture 4K/120fps video, but you don’t need to haul massive gear to get the job done. If you travel a lot then a compact APS-C style mirrorless body might make a lot of sense. Be sure to consider what camera and sensor works best for your particular needs. ![]() While full frame sensors do provide benefits including a larger field of view and better low light performance (in general) they are far from necessary for most photo and video projects. But what about full-frame? Chances are if you ask a friend or “camera person” they will recommend you buy something like the Sony a7 III or a7 IV or newer 7C. Okay, so these APS-C Sony cameras offer quite a bit of performance for the money, especially with these latest price cuts. But what about full-frame Sony mirrorless cameras?įull frame sensors let in a lot of light, have a wider field of view and often feature more megapixelsīuy the model that makes sense for your particular needs and projects For a few hundred dollars more than the a6400 you get improved battery life, better low light ISO (but not by much really), and - the key factor - outstanding in-body image stabilization (IBIS). One generation removed from the latest (a6700) it’s definitely no slouch, and again savings are to be had if you don’t mind not driving the latest model. Plus, you still get all that great tech you’d expect from a modern mirrorless including: fast autofocus and object tracking, slow motion, tiltable LCD suitable for Vlogging and YouTube videos, 24.2MP APS-C sensor with 11fps continuous shooting and responsive touch screen on the rear for navigating menus which can also be used as a touch shutter. That’s pretty impressive for a Sony E mount camera with interchangeable lens (ILE) and 4K video. Models such as the now heavily discounted Sony Alpha a6400 and a6600 are still feature excellent specs and at today’s prices now represent great value.įor instance, the Sony Alpha a6400 is now down to only $748 USD. Why not save some money and instead consider the previous generation models? ![]() And, with the Sony Alpha line that might be something like the new and well reviewed Sony a6700. Sure, you can always chase the latest shiny thing. Sony mirrorless cameras are among the most popular in recent years, among both professionals and enthusiast buyers. ![]()
