Is medium format better than full frame?

Medium format resolution

Bigger sensors mean more space for pixels. Currently the largest full frame resolutions are between 50 and 60MP, while medium format offers 100MP and more, providing vast amounts of image data.

How much is the gfx100?

Fujifilm has announced a new medium format camera, the GFX 100S. This new model is essentially a smaller, more accessible version of the GFX 100, which was released in 2019 for $9,999.95.

Why does full-frame look better?

Full-frame cameras have bigger, better pixels

Larger pixels can capture more color information and also capture incoming light with greater efficiency and less noise than smaller pixels. This is the main reason full-frame sensors can deliver better performance at higher ISO settings than so-called crop sensors.

The phrase “One Inch” makes them sound about the same size as a DSLR sensor, since real DSLR sensors are either about an inch wide (crop-frame) or an inch tall (full-frame) — but nothing about a 1″ sensor is anywhere near an inch or the size of a real DSLR sensor!

Is a crop sensor better for wildlife?

If you love shooting animals with blurred background or you want to focus on a subject through bokeh, then a full frame camera is the better choice.
