Full Frame Sensors vs Crop Sensor Cameras Explained by Karl Taylor!

The sensor in your camera is the CCD or CMOS chip that captures the light to record the image. It’s the thing in your camera that replaced film! And just like film, they come in different sizes and formats. So today I’m going to take a look at sensor sizes. For those of you who are a bit confused about what a ‘full frame sensor’ is in relation to a ‘crop sensor’ and just what all this means for your photography then check out this video where I’ll explain it all in my usual no nonsense style! I hope you enjoy this tutorial. For more video tips, please LIKE my Facebook page! www.facebook.com

  1. If I buy the Sony a57, can I use it to shoot with great depth of field quality photo?
    How do u think about the camera, I don’t have a dslr before but wanna buy one, do u think it good?

  2. Thanks for the explanation. Very well done. All this begs the question, “why do manufacturers even make ‘cropped’ sensor cameras?” I am guessing the answer is, “because they are more inexpensive than the full sensor cameras but the manufacturers can provide great features for less money.” Would this be a correct assumption?

  3. Karl, your absolute amazing in your videos and i’ve learnt so much from you. Your painting with light videos are some of my favourites. Thanks for sharing all these great videos with us. Wish I had my dslr when I was in British Army and many other great locations. Let me know when you doing a trip to South Africa!!!!

  4. This is a perfect explanation !
    Lots of people misunderstand that ‘extra magnification’ on coped sensor cameras and in many foruns I read the complete oposite of what you explained and it just doesn’t made any sense to me.. Thank you very much!

  5. Well presented. I liked the folding of the printed photo for the crop factor illustration.

    Man, that Hassy makes the MK II look like a micro four thirds sized sensor.
