Steven will correct me if I am wrong :) But the way I think of it.... Take a subject that is 100mm x 1mm wide. If you fill the frame... -
sk66 replied to the thread Zoom and M4/3rds v crop and FF for wildlife?.This is true, at the sensor level. But (almost) all negatives/sensor sizes need enlargement for viewing. And it is in the enlargement...

I think it goes for general IQ too. I tend to use MFT at equivalent focal lengths and aperture settings to FF not only to get the depth... -
sk66 replied to the thread Zoom and M4/3rds v crop and FF for wildlife?.I should say that there can be reasons to sway the choice other than image quality potential. E.g. much more capable/updated autofocus...

sk66 replied to the thread Zoom and M4/3rds v crop and FF for wildlife?.Exposure (light per area) remains the same, but total light is greater for FF because the area of the sensor is greater. I.e. a...

sk66 replied to the thread Zoom and M4/3rds v crop and FF for wildlife?.You will get better results from the FF w/ 100-500; the G9 is losing 2 stops of light comparatively. If you have to crop the FF to the...

A good point which is why I choose my cameras by their potential capability. Though I do not set out to have large crops, sometimes it...

sk66 replied to the thread My comparison of sensor size and print quality.That's the thing... larger formats only provide "better" if you use all it. If you degrade it's comparable capability then not...
