Canon 5D with full frame sensor
How does the picture quality for this camera differ from other DSLR
with smaller size sensor? I notice that Canon boasts this as the only full frame sensor (size of sensor - 36 mmx 24mm) in their camera line. Canon 1D has smaller size sensor (29x19mm). Other Canon DSLR (XT, XTi, 20D, 30D), as well as other DSLR cameras such as Nikon, Pentax and Sony all has smaller size sensor (typically 22x15mm). High end point and shoot cameras (such as Canon G7, Nikon P5000,etc) have much smaller size sensor (7x5mm) Is larger sensor a definite plus to produce much better quality pictures, considering the picture qualities of these cameras are generally close together? Thanks for info. |

The FF sensor allows for larger photo sites at equivilant resolutions, which in turn allows for wider dynamic range and lower noise at high ISOs. However, please keep in mind that a talented pro will usually produce superior images using a Rebel XTi than I can with my 5D. :-) Thanks for info. |

Thanks for info. Canon eos 1d mk111 has a 1.3 'crop' size sensor so that really it is one of the larger sensors. -- Neil reverse 'r' and'a' - delete 'l' for email |

However, please keep in mind that a talented pro will usually produce superior images using a Rebel XTi than I can with my 5D. I'd say that Kinon O'Cann is absolutely right. A more aesthetic way of observing the difference between APS-C and full-frame sensors is to look at the performance of a very wide lens with both types. Here is a photo I made in Death Valley with the 5D and 15mm fisheye: http://www.fisheyegallery.com/Places...Basin.jpg.html The difference between the 10D (APS-C, 1.6x crop) and the 5D (full-frame) is like night and day when viewed through the 15mm fisheye lens. I was practically *startled* by how much more I could see. -- Aaron http://www.fisheyegallery.com http://www.singleservingphoto.com |
