Yeti Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello! A question haunting me: The Sony A7 Mk II offers 24mb resolution. I shoots birds and butterflies; even with a 400mm lens, very often I end up cropping the FF image to APS-C size or smaller; often I shoot in APS-C mode for 'perceived reach' that gets me a 10mb image file. How would that compare with using say the APS-C size Canon 80D (also 24mb)? Here I would have a non cropped 24mb file as compared with a similar Sony A7 cropped image which would be a 10mb file. Which would offer better image quality for making prints of size 20x30 inches? Thanks so much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thaz more or less how I do. Instead of cropping my 24MP FF images I switch the lens to a 24MP APSC body, so I have the cropping but not the loss of MP. I happen to use an E-mount APSC body. That way I can use the same lens on both bodies. You would get the same effect using a Canon APSC body but I'm not sure if you're using adapted Canon lenses on your FF Sony. However you work it, you'd wanna be able to share lenses between the formats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
