Going to FF is a dream to every photographer or Not?

If it's just a dream. then it's time to wake up guys. LMFAO
 

prefer the extra reach of a "cropped" sensor. had a 10-22 to cover ultrawide needs too.
 

I guess capturing the best image irregardless of what camera ur using is the dream of a photographer :)
 

In my own opinion, I do think that going FF gives you more choice as the wide angle perspective/distortion such as fish eye can only be fully appreciated using a full frame camera. The cropped sensor cuts out a border so the distortion will be less pronounced. So in that sense, FF gives one more choice.

On the long end, cropping the photo (especially with the 5D Mark II being 21mp) will be essentially the same as using a cropped sensor.

But again, FF costs way more than a 1.6x body...

Well said. :thumbsup:

But getting nicer equipement, gives you less room to blame hardware for taking bad shots. :)

Exactly my point on another thread. I think you tend to improve faster using an FF camera as oppose to cropped one. Beside the fact that you would want to fully utilize your expensive gear for maximum usage.

Take me for example. I had my 350D for 3 years and every time my shots came out crappy, its always the camera's fault. I have learned more in the past 3 months owning my 5d2 than when I had my 350D for the last 3 years.

Good point, but not everyone dreams of good photos. Some people drool over good gear. haha. BTW, I think you meant 'regardless' instead of 'irregardless'. Regardless is already not having any regard.

Such a terrible psychological problem that causes wallets to go thin. haha.
 

It is not a dream. I would have stayed with APS-C. Sometimes FF is not a blessing.

- suffer more from vignetting
- large file size to handle
- heavier equipment to lug around

But it does allow you to print huge posters of photos that you like.

Die lah after I bought this thing. When buying not enough cash have to use CC to pay the difference. Good thing wife not complaining. Lately only eat meager portion of food. :bsmilie:

Haha nice way to put it.. but my 350D accelerated my learning process leh :bsmilie: now the 5D is just to maintain and slowly improve ;p
 

I just wonder is it a dream for every photographer to go for FF system?
from what i feel some photographer seems love to be in high end aps-c like for cannon is 50D (Currently)

Sorry for the random dumb questions

this question always make it sounds like digital has taken photography one huge step back. Never had the FF, 1.5 crop, or post processng issue with film
 

A question for everyone. Would you upgrade if Canon starts to make MF cameras?

wow, i feel sorry for you.:) Honestly the large megapixels file size of the 5dmk2 make me a slower photographer, not that i'm complaining. Makes me think so much harder before I nail the shot, like shooting film.

:sweat: I learn most of the skill when I am using 300D leh! FF make me buy more expensive lenses!

ahhh yes, a newer camera does wonders to the state of mind.....
 

the shallower depth of field is what FF is all about for me :)

if you shoot a lot of landscape or you expect to stop up a lot, i guess the benefits of FF isn't as great.

eHm, that's an interesting question. But can EF lens in the first place support a sensor larger than 35mm?

MF will use a different type of lens already, EF not applicable.
 

To put it bluntly, if you can afford the gear, but are only semi-interested in photography, then buy all your dream gear straight away.

For some hobbyists, it appears that the interest they have in photography is directly related to the love they have for their gear. As an example, if buying an 85L MKII is going to make you take 5 times the amount of photos than you normally would with a 85/1.8, then buy the lens.

When the results dramatically improve most people then get the false belief that the 85L is magical when the 85/1.8 is total hogwash. In reality the results have improved a lot solely because the photographer has really practiced his/ her craft.
