That means the edges of the image captured by a full frame camera are cropped by the APS-C sensor. Full FrameĪ crop sensor is smaller than a full frame sensor. The two cameras I used are the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (EN link) / (NL link) (launched Aug’ 2016) and the Canon EOS 77D (EN link) / (NL link) (launched Feb’ 2017).Ĭrop Sensor (or also called APS-C) vs. But of course we start with some important information. ![]() So I decided to show you the same lenses on the different sensors with my images so it’s more easy to understand. When I was searching for this topic I discovered a lot of technical stories with many numbers and that was a little boring to read. I’ll show you how the lenses act on both cameras because a 50mm on a full frame camera is not the same as a 50mm on a crop sensor camera. Although Sony is currently offering a discount of Rs 20,000 on A7 Mark III body if you buy the 24-105mm G lens.Many starting photographers don’t know the difference between a full frame sensor camera and a crop sensor (APS-C) camera, except for a huge difference in price. With the kit lens, it costs Rs 179,990 and if you buy it with the G lens used in this review, the price of the combo ends up close to Rs 2,75,000. For body only, the A7 Mark III has an MRP of Rs 164,990. And that is with the 24-70mm F4 lens, which is not as good as the G series 24-105 F4 lens. It costs around Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 more compared to something like Canon 6D or the excellent-but-old Nikon D750. The full-frame cameras are expensive, but even so the A7 Mark III costs more than a comparable DSLR camera. While I think the A7 Mark III is the best general purpose camera right now in the market, it is expensive. Once charged fully - it charges through USP cable and there is no bundled charger (!!! wish Sony had bundled a charger) - it will last you one full day with ease. The battery life of mirrorless cameras has been their Achilles' heel but the A7 Mark III more or less fixes it. But unlike DSLR cameras, that struggle with video recording, mirrorless have always been good with videos. ![]() It can shoot footage in up to 4K, although I preferred to record most of the clips at 1080P. Video shooting too is something of a strong point with the A7 Mark III. Sure, it is no sports shooter - Sony has A9 for people who need that - but for most people, and most of the regular street, travel, or -to-day shooting, the A7 Mark III works very well. Almost all the time.īut other than the bit about auto focus accuracy and speed, I don't think the A7 Mark III has any real weaknesses. A good DSLR camera - for example like Nikon D750 with its 3D focus - just gets it right. But I also feel that this is one area where a DSLR camera still excels. Some of this is also because of my skills and clumsiness with the A7 Mark III. I must have clicked 100s of photos of dogs and most of them didn't come out sharp. ![]() But I continue to find the auto focus with a mirrorless slow for moving subjects, say for example an active dog. For portrait photos, there is also eye focus - which focuses on eyes of people - and there is face recognition feature too, which helps if you are clicking photos of your kid. You can select between various focus modes: Spot, continuous, automatic, manual etc. The coverage of focus is almost across the frame. Or when you are clicking portrait photos. The A7 Mark III excels - for mirrorless camera - at focussing when you are shooting landscape images. There are some things, that I feel can still be better. I have never seen such clean 12800 ISO JPEG from a camera earlier. And this is from a JPEG! It is brilliantly clean. See for example the 100 per cent eye crop from a photo clicked at 12800 ISO. In my experience this is the best general purpose camera for clicking low light photos. But in low light, I found the A7 Mark III is fantastic at dealing with noise and keeping it low and in pleasant grain. In good light, I still prefer colours that a DSLR like Nikon D750 can produce over what the A7 Mark III shoots. The A7 Mark III clicks beautiful photos, especially in low light. A full-frame DSLR camera still have better viewfinder because that is made up of all sharp optics and I love the fact I can see through optical viewfinders without turning on the camera - not possible in a mirrorless - but I didn't particularly miss it while shooting with the A7 Mark III.Īnd it's not only in the body, but also in what the A7 Mark III clicks where Sony has improved. It's bright, and while you still see some pixels, the clarity of the OLED screen is good enough for it to be used in almost all scenarios. The EVF too has been improved SIGNIFICANTLY compared to what we used to get in the old mirrorless cameras.
