A full frame digital camera is relatively expensive, and a bigger than full
frame camera is forbiddingly costly. Not only that, they are also not
compact enough for street photography. However there is a way to get bigger
than full frame, without breaking your bank or your arm. Watch the latest
DRTV episode to find out…
I grew up with my dad teaching me the fundamentals of processing film in
the darkroom. I probably spent at least a few thousands of hours with him
developing film. I still love it but I certainly don’t miss it. I think
this is what we call progress. In the same way that you can still chisel
out dovetails with a hammer and chisel, if you so choose, but it’s a lot
easier and a LOT faster with a router and a high quality cutting bit.
The Fujifilm GF670 is $2,642.60 on eBay. Definitively breaking the bank for
most people.
In digital photography the need for bigger sensors full frame, Medium
format is not for only the big size outputs, it is also for taking high
light sensitivety. Is this the same case in film photography?!
I think in film photography, bigger films offer only big photos.
Sensitivety not affected by size of film. Pls confim
Get a Holga – they’re medium format.
One of my personal favourite videos from DRTV!
Great video :D
WTF, such expensive cameras, still breaking the bank for most people
including me! Many of us can only dream of owning an xpan or fuji tx1
camera one day. There are cheaper options such as used medium format
cameras. Whilst I wait, I may get inspired to dig out my old Canon film
camera. Let’s face it, digital has some drawbacks. It is not always the
best answer. I was pleased to read that film has made a comeback in the
last few years for some users worldwide :-)
how do u get the film to transfer on to the computer ? allways wonderd that
?
Hi, I’m a big digital Rev fan. Thanks for making so many great videos. This
is my all time favorite one. Any chance you guys could please do an x-pan
vs. Tx-1. I would also live to know about how the optics work and how
students or budget conscious consumers can take similar photos to these
cameras. Thanks!
Oh the irony. That Makina Plaubel 67 costs at least £800 in good condition,
and the hassy is more like a grand.
What aspect ratio is that ?
I have this roll of 127 film for a camera that was built in the late 60s ..
Where can I get it developed? went to my local Walgreens and they said they
only developed 35mm. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks !!
Great! Never known about those camera’s cool to learn about them. I gonna
try out film myself too, never shot film. I have a Chinon Memotron CEII and
a Helios 44-2 58mm F2 🙂
haha nice Philips Bloom :D
In my opinion, I think AnalogRev are the best episodes.
It’s great to see a video where they are passionate about the gear they are
using and great to see some good shots taken for a change.
The finished results were stunning especially from the hasselblad!
All about Pentax 6×7 II!
what about medium format colour photos instead of black and white.
I imagine that panoramic camera would get some insanely nice landscape
shots.
The Xpan starts from $1500 used up to $3000 on ebay. You could buy a great
full frame digital body for similar, and crop shots to 16×9 in post for the
same cinematic result. These are cool cameras but not cheaper than digital.
I’ve been using Xpan Xpan II, they are superb and unique cameras, I highly
recommend to get one if you could find one
Its not the cost of the full frame its the lens that preventing me upgrade
to full frame.. For example d610 is only 250-300$ more expensive than
upcoming d7200.. But cost of full frame lens twice or more the cost of dx
lens.. So whats your opinion? Wait for d7200 or get d610 now.. Lets say i
get d610 so no money left for 24-70 2.8 lens..what good but cheap
lens(maybe prime?) i can start shooting with until i can afford 2.8 lens??!
I shoot landscape photo and video but also would like to be able to shoot
everything when i need to thats why i like 24-70/ 17-55 for dx
Which type is best for making videos in film production?
I currently use the t2i, film short Indie style movies, but wonder if the
full frame could give me more in terms of a better film look; of course we
all know that and a really good and expensive lens helps…….thanks;

i currently use a 5D Classic and a 60D as backup body.
I love them both. but you cannot beat the beauty of full frame.
60D also takes great picture once you get a good glass on it.
SUPER helpful, thanks!
Do lenses for full frame cameras cost more?
Thanks for the insight and good explanation of full frame vs crop sensor. I
currently use Nikon D5200 but looking forward to getting the D610 in the
near future. Cost is expensive but my thinking is once you go full frame,
you’ll be set for a long time as you will be pleased with the outcome
hello sir,
your videos are the most helpful on youtube, I am a huge fan.
i am using a canon 600D.
should i invest in canon 24-105mm USM lens or rather on a tamron SP 28-75mm
XR Di LD?
Very enlightening…I use a Canon 7d for sports photography…cycling…I
am wanting to get a full frame sensor and looking at the 5d mk 3…I cannot
afford to go any higher…
As you explain full frame camera is much more batter ! I love it
So what about mirrorless crop sensors with higher ISO range? Are any
compatible with my EFS canon lenses?
i have not enough money to buy full frame camera that’s why i wanted to
know which one is best crop sensors camera between canon 600D vs canon 60D
Gonna make my father watch this so he can buy me a full frame
Shot with the 7D since 2012. Love the camera to bits. However, looking at
the images up against a full frame camera I don’t seem to be getting the
same kind of punch in resolution as a full frame. Maybe its time to
upgrade?
Hello there !! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.. !! I have a quick
question for you.. !! I usually shot in low light conditions at church..
especially on worship time. What kind of metering should I use ..?? Often
my pictures come out blurry and darker.. I try to crank up my ISO but still
can get quality images… !! Thanks. !!
I bought the D7100 and am overall pretty happy with it and I have taken
some great photographs with it. However I feel that the looking at specs
and DxOmark doesn’t tell the whole story. There is something about the
quality of light that appears to be different on 35mm sensor cameras. Of
course that’s my subjective observation. Actually I somewhat regret buying
a large-MP camera because each photosite is smaller and therefore image
quality (at least by my own subjective metrics) should be lower – even if
on paper it’s great. Perhaps it’s not so much full-frame vs cropped but
generally about photosite-size (but of course on a larger sensor you can
have larger photosites at the same resolution).
I currently use a 1D Mark II and I’ve been doing research whether to go for
a full frame. 6D is the best choice because of its price. I shoot low light
a lot and I’d like to do portrait so after this video, I will definitely
buy one full frame camera. Let me know what you think
Hello Spyros!!I assume you ‘re a Greek guy…;-)
Anyway I have a D3100 for about 2 years now…I have shot many pictures and
I’m quite satisfied(it was my first DSLR)…I am thinking of buying a D610
with a 50mm f1.8D…would you recommend it?I am very interested in the
image quality(that includes shooting at high ISO) as well as capturing an
interesting frame…Thank you and many greetings from Greece my friend!!!
i also want to buy a better camera. i have a canon sx40 hs and i need an
upgrade although im not sure what type of camera, what brand, etc. im gonna
get. i would appreciate any help and thanks for the video, lots of useful
information
I am currently shooting with a 7D, but I bought lenses with the idea that I
was going to get a full framed camera someday. The 7D does some really
nice work, but I want, (and I am not a pro, so it is want), the best detail
that I can get in my wildlife photographs. I have just bought a 5D Mark
III and I am looking to learn how to use it, Your video was very helpful.
thanks for video, appreciate. Started with pentax k-r, switched to k01, i
like it more. Smother camera, no noise mirror sounds, no “blind eye”
shooting with wiefinder, just mirrorless suits my needs better. Using
manual focusing lenses
I use a D300s and a D90 as backup/travel camera, I use them for both
weddings as well as images I re-sell. I think my next step will be a D7100
then a D800e, it’s good to use the combination of full & crop frame sensors
to broaden the range of your lenses and give you maximum flexibility. Point
to note, reason for 2 steps to full frame? There is no point buying a D800
and putting a cheap lens on it, I have great Nikon lenses so far, but my
logic is, lenses first, camera second. You can take a better image on a
D5300 with a fast prime, than you would on a D800 with a cheap kit lens.
For anyone suffering any camera inferiority because of clever marketing, I
would suggest a look at 500px.com, search your camera and see what amazing
images can be created with the very camera that you have. Also, if I’m
travelling, I don’t want weight, I leave the D300s and take the D90. Enjoy
your photography and don’t be put off by pixelpeepers.
thanks!
I completely agree with you, full frame camera is really much much better
quality and sharpest, especially Canon 6D, I just upgrade my Canon 70D a
month ago to Canon 6D and its it’s such an amazing Camera with a huge
improvement photos.
