I think very often come and talk to you about the differences between crop
sensor and full frame sensor sort of
professional level cameras and also to prosummer top ends sort of beginner camera
so I thought we probably have a littile chat about it so i've lost people's interest
and they've asked lots of questions
somewhere we go here well we got kits and I like both and they're both mine
so like I really like this kit and I really like this kit
but what's the difference well this is my old D300 is a crop sensor camera
I've had it for ages you can be seen in masses and masses the film's
the its performed brilliantly why did I buy a crop sensor camera it's because
why not? it's kind of when first got into
digital photography they weren't really from frame DSLR's or any crop sensor
so i already got crop sensor lenses so that's really what I went with
I am also when I spoke to my friend Adam Scorey whos
Group Editor for our trip photography magazines and what should I buy he said
it'll be a great camera just go buy one just get on with it and I'm lazy i cant be
bother to do research
that's really why I ended up with the crop sensor camera and so long as the
picture is a great I don't care
i'm happy so on the D 300 I've got my
set 18 to 70 the F
5.6 zoom which is a stonking the good little lens it has done really really
well it came as part of kit a on a d70
very very inexpensive in picking up on eBay for next to nothing these days
but they're very very good 70 -210 my old 7210 zoom
now this is actually for full frame its from thirty five-millimeter days
but it's still a stonking can lens and I've you see on my
digital's for a long long time because why go and spend more money if you don't
need to
it's a great little outfit 18 to 200 millimetres
all covered deal done over here
we got the D 600 body full frame sensor more mag pixels dont know how many of you
worried about it go look it up Im it sorry doesn't interest me enough
on on the front to that about the 24-70
f2.8 Nikkor zoom an expensive piece a glass
very very nice lens next here got the 70-200 f2.8
nikkor zoom this is the and that this is the VR
it's not the VR 2 it's not the second version it's the earlier version
all full frame good stuff so there are pros and cons to this what
are the pros and cons well
lets start over here with a full frame stuff first
well one is by having full-frame
and a wide 2.8 aperture you have got
a much much shallower depth the field so these less depth of the field
why is less depth of the field good
if you want to get a blurry background really really focusing on something
so that it stands and the shot less that the field is a good thing
having a bigger a sensor for more megapixels and a better
ISO performance which this has combined with the wider apperture means
it's really great for shooting in low light levels I can get away with much
much lower light levels and still have a nice steady shot without having to
resort to flash
using this outfit then I can with this one that's probably about it
on the upside as far as I'm concerned I'm sure there are many you view that we
think we must be many more technical reasons but
many interesting what I can do with it to achieve the pictures i want
what about the pros of this set
well we just said that is less depth of the field
what are the pros at this is more debt to field you got a smaller the sensor
you got a little bit more that the field going on
so why is that good if it was bad
somewhere else it's not so much good and bad but if you want more depth of the field
maximum depth of the field the smaller sensor could be easily help you
achieve that tricky when you use it with a smaller aperture
you know high F number thats
that one other pros of-course obviously the one of the really big pros of this is
you're not gonna have to move it to children in order to buy everything in a
big dent in your wallet you can still go on holiday in
do stuff like that there's not much to choose between the two why did I
upgrade because this is
well well hammered and technology moves only luddite like me has to move with
that technology
otherwise just get left behind
you start to find the image files won't work in new software you can
open thing to start have problems with conflicts like that so
yes time to move on and I need a camera that wasnt in completely shag and worned out
there are things about both which
I like to one other thing say with the 2.8 lens just what im saying you get a very
shallow depth the failed
I have to make this film as quickly as possible because lorna is sitting over there
filming me
a back is hurting the happens to all camera operators doesn't it lorna
she got a very very stern look on her face and look at the size of this of this
cake
ever seen such a whopper lorna wants to eat it
with her coffee and and im gonna have some too but first let me just show you what I mean
so let's say I wanna let me just compare
briefly and the difference between the lens is not going to which takes about a
picture we will be done a film about that will you get a better picture out
before a half thousand pounds camera lens and you will have a
you know cheapy old cluncker we made that film there's a link under in the text
below an on screen at the moment if you wanna go check it out so I'm not going into
that territory
let's say I was gonna take a little close up shot like the colorful cups on
like the
to the cake let's say I want to do something like that so lets start
with the shorter lengths let's just stick it about 50 millimetres
let's say i wanna take a shot I wanna get like the edge of this cup no lets say I wanna go
yea edge of the cup shot in the stuff behind soft so lets just see what i can do
now if we get in here and I can
focus in back here
and I F 2.8 and
and I got the phone on the coffee shop and pretty much everything else
is soft got lovely kind of soft thing well happens if we try the same thing
using the crop sensor and the consumer lens do the same thing about 70
millimetres
here i was using f2.8 because I got a wider aperture this camera
I'm using 5.6 on here
sorry I'm not using I am 5.6
let's see what happens can i still focus at the same distance now
smaller sensor making the lens seem a bit longer so to move back a bit
here we go im gonna do this one level not gonna tilt the camera so you can see
the two shots I wanna bit closer
focus focus I think
that is roughly shot I took just have a quick
look
yeah very similar shots you can see when you compare them there's a slight
softer background using the D 600 there is but the D300
shots are very very similar its kind of like
is the extra price worth it what happens we put a longer lens on
lets just see what happens because there's a downside to the full frame
in my opinion lets just put our 70 to 200 on
and
the're not thanking me as I actually made the move they're such nice people i said im sorry we about to
start filming
they're thanking the cafe now
put that on there forgive me guys
something which a lot of photographers
I noticed do
is a very very anti changing lenses to get shots that sometimes you gotta
change lens
to get the shot that you want dont be lazy if you need to change lens to get
something
just get on and do it look it didnt take that long did it ive just change two lenses
on
two different cameras lets have a go to the same sort of shot let's see if we can get a
fairly close
with the coffee in the cake and all the rest a bit
first of use the long lens
now this to me is a big downside sometimes I can't
is difficult to focus them because things are really really soft when
you're using
2.8 let me just see now I wanna get a nice close
shot already I can't focus there
I can get close enough to compose the shot I want i dont want that in it so im moving it
so gonna come back here where can I be
to focus I gotta come all the way back here
before I can focus the camera
in the place I want it I got that focused still not focusing
can be tricky there we go let's give it a shot there it looks very very similar
to the shot I just took with the other lens didnt it ?
but that's not the shot i want the shot on I want I can achieve with this camera
because this one will let me focus in a lot lot closer
lets tilt the other way so that you can see
I'm not cheating I'm gonna change the angle we're gonna go coffee cup to
coffee cup
the bit of cake in the corner maybe
here we go let's go a bit higher
look you look how much closer in
I can focus I'm not gonna tilt it i aint gonna tilt it again because
the shot looks horrid if i do now I can fill the frame
with the cup and this lens will focus in closer
so it's a case of weighing up the cost and what it's worth to you
image files colors things like that you can have a better colors your gonna have
nicer
quality image files out have the more expensive camera but I didn't notice the
difference
if you pictures just look how online or something like that tiny different email
may not notice a if we compare Cup with ease on screen now
I dont know if in the video you can see the difference between
the consumer pro-sumer camera and the expensive camera lens
if you wanna check it out go to my website link on screen and in the text
below the video you can go and download these files
look at them yourself so you can kind of compare them but the expensive camera
that will be nicer colors
you will get better image quality in shot in its extremities like very small
aperture is in very
long focal lengths with the expensive a kid that's what you're paying for
but is it gonna be enough difference to justify the cost as I say we got what
three
and a half thousand pounds I guess hear something like that
possibly more depending when you're buying new or second-hand versus about
seven hundred and fifty quid
going on here I'm not saying one's bad
because I'm always talking about using the cheaper kit I'm not saying it's bad
bad and wrong
its its is is is not a good thing to buy expensive stuff I'm just saying don't
sell your soul to the devil to buy it
because you're better off to upgrade the photographer and understand how to use
the tools that you have
than to go rushing often buy something more expensive invest thousands of pounds
cause you may be disappointed because you can see there's inst a huge difference
between images taken by either of those I just I want to touch on so the say
guys you can download these image files yourself go and have a look
and this is Jpegs and I'm leaving them at full size full resolution
so you can sorta see the size difference the pixels make
et cetera hope that was a value to you I know its a bit wofly
but that's cause i wanna eat some cake taken some coffee
