#Full frame vs mirrorless full#
I’m not here to try educate clients.ĥ years down the line since I moved to full frame and I realise that yes indeed the A7RII produces fantastic images (at a price), I have captured tons. Some of you may dispute this and insist the quality of MFT is enough, but you do not hire me, the client does, so if the client says so, it’s how it is. Why I purchased a full frame Sony camera had a lot to do with the fact many clients insisted on a full frame camera for the work I carried out and not shooting full frame but instead MFT made me lose jobs to competitors. I’ve found myself shooting less and less and less… Whilst the full frame Sony A7RII excels in so many areas (high res means amazing macro photography) it has also excelled in taking a lot of fun out of street photography for me personally. When I thought Sony would solve all my problems… I was a bit wrong, not entirely but enough to admit it. This object which has been a key part of my life. I fell in love with photography only a little after I fell in love with the camera itself as a tool. I first started taking photos because I fell in love with photography. Sometimes it’s not all about image quality or rather high resolution. I immediately think of the Fuji X100V which I recently spent some quality time with, it leaves you nothing else to do but focus on taking photos.

Having used the EM10, EM10 MK2, EM5, EM5 MK2, EM1 extensively, I used to really love Olympus cameras and even though my A7RII produces such great images which far surpass Olympus’ (I’m not such a fan of the sensor), I can’t help but retain some love for the MFT system or rather… small cameras.Īfterall there is no real comparison as of course an A7 series camera will cost a lot more and produce higher quality images, but as I’ve found out, some way cheaper smaller cameras are just much more fun ultimately leading to increased creativity and therefore more satisfying images. You’ll find links at the end of this post. I have published many separate articles reviewing both mirrorless systems in depth with many examples from my own archive. The Pen-F by Olympus and the Sony A7RII, both quite a few years old but the slice of the market they each individually target remain roughly the same. What is right for ME? This, only YOU can decide.Īll I can help with here is my experience with both and in fact I will use these two cameras I own as examples. This incomplete set of questions is pretty much what you should always ask yourself when buying camera gear: I still own both an Olympus Pen-F and a Sony A7RII (I know… I make them last) and juggle other cameras I’m reviewing all the time.įirst of all it is important to identify the reason why you shoot, or at least what you are more likely to be shooting, will you be printing your photos a lot, will you be doing this as a hobby or is this a profession, what is your budget, etc…

Maybe I can help as I have used both in a private and professional setting and extensively for a quite a bit now. This thing is: FUN So… Full frame or micro four thirds?
This article is about something bigger than ideal sensor type for photography, something we should never lose sight of as creatives, something which transcends marketing pitches from camera manufacturers, pixel count and does not relate to how much you spend on camera gear. Over a decade since I have been a photographer and I have had the opportunity to shoot many different cameras from many brands, many lenses, sensor types and mount types.
