Are full frame DSLR cameras really better than digital crop sensor cameras? To put it simply, no. Each sensor type has advantages and disadvantages that shooters must analyze to determine which is the better choice for them.

In this video series, I aim to clarify the real differences between full frame DSLR cameras and digital crop DSLRs. I'll address the topics of price, size, wide angle capabilities, telephoto capabilities, depth of field, maximum ISO settings, image resolution, and image quality. With a full rundown of these topics spread throughout 7 videos in this series, you'll be able to decide for yourself whether you should use a full frame or digital crop DSLR.

And if you're a bit unclear as to what exactly a full frame DSLR is and how it's different from a digital crop sensor, check out my video titled "What Is a Full Frame DSLR Camera?" at youtube.com/watch?v=G5VaxNurMiU
