![]() ![]() My Canon 60D can, at times, pull in decent pictures at ISO 6400. Plus, the extra light allowed by the full frame 6D give it a big advantage over the cropped 60D. And I’m talking high ISO (at least to me). The full frame Canon 6D does a great job of reducing noise and artifacts at high ISO settings. Without a doubt, the biggest difference between the Canon 60D and the Canon 6D can be found when the lights go down. If you are moving up from a crop sensor to a full sensor and you like editing your images, expect to see better color control and range with pictures taken with a full frame camera. Greater dynamic rangeįull frame sensors have more pixels and more pixels means better control over color and color range. They have the same real-world focal length. While the 60D (using a Canon lens made for crop sensor cameras) is at 15mm. The full frame 6D (using a Tamron lens made for full frame cameras) is at 24mm. The field of view is identical but the measurement is different. You can see in the two pictures above the differences in focal lengths when using a full frame set up (left) and a crop sensor set up (right). So, I bought a Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DC VI USD lens to cover this focal length.Ĭanon 60D with a Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 15mm. ![]() But my Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 cannot be used on my full frame Canon 6D. This is a great focal length, general purpose "if you had to have one lens" kind of lens. I really like my Canon 60D with my Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. ![]() Canon EF-S lenses are not compatible with Canon full frame cameras.Ĭanon EF lenses can be used with both types of cameras. If you are using a Canon EF-S lens, you cannot use it on a full frame camera. On the other hand, a crop sensor camera extends the reach of your zoom or telephoto lens when compared to a full frame camera. The nature of the crop sensor limits how wide (and how much) a lens can see. One drawback to crop sensor cameras is that they make it harder to get into wide angle photography. The picture above combines the right tools and the right approach making the background melt away so that we are focused on what's important. But you can also use a zoom or telephoto lens to compress (blur) the background.Īnother way to achieve this look without any special equipment to is place your subject in a position so that there is nothing behind them. ![]() Full frame cameras and wide aperture lenses are one way. There are a number of ways to get your subject to standout. More light means, for example, not having to use a slower shutter speed just to get a decent exposure at night. And this is huge! Being able to collect more light allows you more control over your shutter speed, ISO and aperture settings. Here's some of what I've noticed about the differences between full frame and crop sensor cameras.Ĭanon 6D fULL fRAME ADVANTAGES More LightĪ bigger full frame sensor can capture more light. So, you may ask be asking yourself, what is the big deal about full frame cameras if you can’t really see the difference between it and a crop sensor camera? I have been asking myself that as well. The picture on the left was taken with a Canon 60D and the one on the right with a Canon 6D. I think the 6D takes really good pictures. I was not, in any way, disappointed in the pictures from the Canon 6D. My disappointment was a direct result of my grand expectations. My first impression was that I didn’t see a world shattering improvement. I wanted to see a difference that led me to believe I had found a photography secret in full frame photography. I think my immediate first impression when I first reviewed the 6D pictures was disappointment. Please bear in mind that these are not scientific comparisons - just me eyeballing them on my computer. Neither one screams Crop! or Full Frame! Not to me, at least. One of these pictures was taken with my Canon 60D with a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM and the other was taken with my full frame Canon 6D and a Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 DI VC USD. Here’s an example that demonstrates the difference. After years of shooting cropped, I was anxious to see how magical my pictures were going to look now that I was shooting full frame. So now you know why I have a full frame and a crop sensor camera. The higher price tag of a full frame Canon also kept me at a distance from the full frame experience.īut, I was hired a few months ago to take a series of pictures of an artist’s paintings and the assignment required more megapixels and a full frame camera. Until recently, I never had a strong enough desire or need to buy a full frame camera. But I often wondered what (if any) improvements I would see if I was using a full frame sensor. I come from a line of cropped sensor Canon cameras ( my camera timeline) and have always been satisfied with the pictures taken with those cameras. The 6D is my first full frame purchase and practically the only full frame DSLR I have had any experience with. ![]()
