Has anyone ever said to you, \u201cThat\u2019s a nice photo; you must have an expensive camera”? It’s a common line – and a common source of frustration for photographers. According to photography legend Ansel Adams, \u201cThe single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Your camera is simply a tool, one that you use to create your vision of the scene in front of you. A camera can only do what you tell it to; it’s not going to capture that “nice photo” all by itself. <\/p>\n

I recently made the jump from a crop sensor camera to a full-frame body. In this article, I don’t <\/em>want to get into a technical discussion about the differences between a crop-sensor camera and a full-frame camera. Instead, I want to talk about if <\/em>and when <\/em>upgrading to a full-frame camera is desirable, especially for those who are on the fence about purchasing a full-frame body. <\/p>\n

Shooting with a full-frame camera comes with several important benefits. Here are the main advantages to bear in mind as you consider an upgrade from APS-C to full frame: <\/p>\n
