However, using a crop sensor camera to shoot wildlife will still give excellent subject separation even at a higher f-stop depending on the lens focal length.

Are full-frame cameras sharper than crop?

In general, a full-frame sensor will produce higher-resolution images than crop sensors because they let in more light and detail. And for the same reason, they’re also better in low-light conditions. They provide sharper, clearer images without having to set higher ISOs and therefore have less noise.

Do I need a full-frame camera to be a professional photographer?

Why is APS-C good enough?

In terms of low-light capability, dynamic range, and image quality yes, but in terms of cost, weight, and sizes, APS-C takes the cake with its more compact camera body, less heavy glasses required in their lenses, and since there is less component, they are way cheaper than their full frame counterparts.

Why do professional photographers use full frame cameras? Photographing with a smaller sensor camera lowers the amount of light and information that gets into the camera. This, in turn, decreases image quality and dynamic range. If you’re wanting to photograph with professional full frame lenses on an APS-C camera, there will be a 1.5x crop factor on the focal length.

Can you shoot weddings with a crop sensor? I’ve helped shoot friends’ weddings — purely amateur. I used a 17-55 on a crop and a 85mm prime on a full frame. I could have used more reach sometimes, but overall it worked well. Two bodies helps avoid moments swapping lenses, and the prime and full frame both allowed better low light and shallow DOF shots.
