Half v Full Frame

The 2 photographs were taken in exactly the same place, Hartsholme Park in Lincoln, with almost exactly the same settings on both cameras; manual Av, Tv and with the lens set at 70mm.

The top one was shot with the half frame Canon EOS 750D half frame DSLR.

The bottom one was shot with the full frame Canon EOS 5D full frame DSLR.

(I'm putting the colour difference down to the age of the 5D.)

They are both lovely! The bottom one just has more detail.

[Phil Sandford]

@ludwigsdiana Thank you. Bottom has more of what my eyes could see 😜😜

[John Sutton]

What file format are you using as I understand (I'm not technical) RAW captures more detail, hence the file sizes are bigger?

[Paul]

Grrrr - you're making me so jealous mate. What lens was you using? Both lovely. The bottom one for me too. It feels more like the path is really leading you into the frame. The difference in how much you see is so noticeable it's hard to believe both images were taken from the same spot 😊

[Rosie Kind]

They are both lovely

[Padlock]

5d will have more pixels and therefore detail. If you shoot in RAW you will get even more detail.

[Phil Sandford]

@johnsutton Shooting in jpg mode mate. Both in L, so file sizes are around 12Mb
Can shoot Raw on both cameras, but I don't

[Phil Sandford]

@paul10 I promise, both taken from exact same place. I didn't move my feet to swap cameras. 😜😜

750D fitted with Canon EFS 55-250mm lens. Pic taken with it set at 70mm

5D fitted with Canon EF 28-135mm lens. Pic taken with it set at 70mm

Quite staggering the difference in what is captured isn't it.

[Phil Sandford]

@rosiekind Thanks Rosie.

[Phil Sandford]

@padlock

5D (it's a Mk1) has 12.8 Mega pixels
750D has 24.2 Mega pixels.

I'm way way too anateur to shoot 'Raw' at the moment. Still learning (well, remembering) how to use an SLR in manual mode 😜

[Phil Sandford]

@paul10 mate, the lenses are bigger diameters also.

750D has a 58mm diameter lens
5D has a 72mm diameter lens.

[FBailey]

Goodness - I liked them both, initially preferred the top one because of the depth of colour but now am starting to see what you mean by the tones and detail in the bottom one. Both good pictures though.

[Brennie B]

Interesting to see the differences...however small...do like the bottom one

[Carole Sandford]

There is definitely a difference. Prefer the bottom one.

[CC Folk]

This is all Greek to me but fun to follow along. At least I know that RAW is not shooting in the buff! LOL!

[Poppo Livy]

To make the comparison more equal, should you have zoomed the 5D shot in a bit to compensate for the crop sensor on the 750D. In other words so that you had the same field of view in both shots

[Phil Sandford]

@fbailey Thank you

[Phil Sandford]

@brennieb Cheers Brenda, thanks for the view and comment

[Phil Sandford]

@gardenfolk LOL Thanks for viewing :-D

[Phil Sandford]

@terryliv I guess if I wanted to demonstrate the clarity difference, then yes; what I wanted to do with this comparison was demonstrate what the two cameras 'capture' when on exact same settings, ie the fuller picture with the full frame.

[Henri Russell]

Good comparison. It does seem townhouses closer on the top one and lose a lot of the trees that are shown in the bottom one. If you darkened the bottom one in Photoshop or something it would like the trombone, only more detail yes I think I like the bottom the best!

[Phil Sandford]

@henrir Think maybe your auto-correct went into overdrive their (trombone), but I know what you meant and thank you. 😜😜

[Jane Morley]

Both good but I prefer the bottom one

[Lou Ann]

To me, the townhouses on the bottom look better than the ones on top!

[Phil Sandford]

@chimfa Thank you

[Phil Sandford]

@louannwarren 😂😂😂

[Sue Cooper]

It all sounds a bit technical to me. I like the bottom one best because I just like it the best.

[Phil Sandford]

@susiemc There's no problem with that. 😂
This project is 'ours' we like what we like and we post what we like.
