Good Evening Zoners (evening in Europe, that is)
Like many others, I'm putting money into my piggybank to buy a full frame (FF) body.
I'm also taking the FF view when looking at new lenses.
With recent sensor developments, however the reasons to change from (DX) crop format seem to be reducing.
High ISO noise, dynamic range, and feature set are eating into FF territory - and crop cameras already have lower weight, cheaper/lighter lenses (for similar functions) - and lower cost, of course.
Am I just getting nervous, or will I find that before I save the £ € $ to buy the FF body the advantages are no longer worth the cash?
The reasons I give for/against above are examples, of course - there are many reasons for/against FF vs crop
I would welcome any comments, thanks.
