Dear Daniel,
I am very glad that you support my writing as a professional photographer, because many newbies are unjustly made insecure by arguments and even misled in their camera/sensor choice, and that’s a pity.
Your comments are, as always, greatly appreciated.
Many thanks !
Marc.

There is no logical point for those some people that are convinced that “full frame” is the perfect image sensor format although we use to call it “mini” during the 35mm analog-film days. Many of us simply want to be reassured for the gear choices they have made instead of about the image results for their impact, their composition, their taking moment, their lightning, etc which are always the significant factors of influence and momentary lasting quality. At the end, the technical discussion is often a disturbing noise for the real photographer creativity.

That’s completely correct Mark, an answer to which you probably won’t get a reply back 🙂

As I say to a few friends who are always saying how important sensor size is, if they meant what they said, they would be using a medium or large format camera!

I completely agree with you Mark.
There is a difference as you say, and a bigger sensor will be better,
but what does it matter ?
As long as we ourselves are happy with our camera equipment, and the results are good, why should we listen to sales strategies.
All the best Mark !

A 35mm lens for example is always a 35mm lens, it’ll just produce different results depending on the sensors size (x1.5 on APSC and x2 Micro Four Thirds).

As for the F-Stop, this IS the F-Stop, the light an F/2 lens produces on full frame vs any other F/2 lens on any other camera or phone is the same. The depth of field will be determined the sensors size though.

I’m sure a lot of these videos go out of the way to confuse people! Great article Marc.
