APS-C vs Full Frame

February 2, 2025 0 225

Color rendering and detail will get better as the sensor size is larger (all things remaining equal). In other words, as long as the sensor is a good photo sensor, the larger it is, the more light is captured. This allows for more detail and better color separation and rendering.

One thing I’ve noticed with APS-C sensors is the poor performance of earth tones, especially in low light. Even a cloudy day can cause some problems.

Below are some examples comparing 100% crop of APS-C sensors, and Full Frame cameras.
