Portrait photographer Julia Trotti recently put together a useful comparison video for beginners where she captures portraits using a crop-sensor camera and her most-used prime lenses: a 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm.
Plenty of people have done comparisons like this using full-frame cameras and, in fact, Trotti did that comparison first. But after publishing […]. petapixel.com
Crop Sensor cameras have been getting a pretty bad rep for some time. By and large, you have the Full Frame or bust crowd to thank for this stigma. Full Frame cameras were the de facto standard for a long time thanks to their performance advantage over their Crop Sensor brethren. thephoblographer.com »

One of the main considerations that photographers often have when switching cameras is the Full Frame vs. Crop Sensor debate. Some will immediately think the former is the best choice, no contest.

Sensor Size math isn't a problem with the mmCalc Crop Factor Calculator. If you haven’t figured it out by now, there’s a lot of math involved in photography. One of the places you’ll often notice where math and photography intersect is in discussions of sensor size. thephoblographer.com »

The Leica M10 Monochrom is a $9,000 digital camera dedicated to black-and-white photography, but how does it compare to a $10 roll of Kodak Tri-X 400 black-and-white film? That’s what the folks at Camera West TV decided to find out.
The guys over at DPReview TV recently set out to test the new Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L lens. But instead of simply shooting some samples and talking about sharpness, they decided to pit it against the classic EF-mount version of this same lens so they could see “how far this lens has come.” The video […]
Over 8 years ago, we over at On Landscape performed a mammoth “Big Camera Comparison.” We compared medium format and large format film against various digital cameras including the then cutting edge Phase One IQ280, an 80MP CCD sensor which we used on a Linhof Techno, an Alpa, and a Cambo technical camera (we also […]
Most unfair camera comparisons these days pit smartphones against APS-C or full-frame digital cameras. But for their latest video, Sonder Creative took it a big step further: they’re comparing an 8×10 large format film camera against three digital cameras that, let’s be honest, never stood a chance. This video is actually Part 2 of their […]
The Hasselblad XPan is a legendary one-of-a-kind 35mm panoramic rangefinder worthy of its cult camera status, but at over $3,000, is it worthy of your money? In this video and article, we’ll take a look at the XPan compared to two affordable alternative options: the Horizont camera, and the Pentax ESPIO 120SW. The inclusion of […]
It took a little while, but we finally have the “desert island” 24-70mm f/2. 8 lens for every major full-frame mirrorless system on the market, with some lovely crossover as well thanks to the L-Mount Alliance and Sigma’s continued support of E-mount.
Nikon introduced the Nikon D850 in 2017 with a 45. 7-megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) Nikon-specified/Sony-designed/TowerJazz manufactured sensor. The Nikon D850 is regarded as one of Nikon’s best cameras and continues to range at the top of consumer DSLRs.
