Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.
In my last thread, I asked if any pro's used entry level gear, and learnt a lot regarding the more expensive camera bodies and lenses.
It was mentioned that some places of employment only accept shots taken on a full frame camera. This has me a little confused, I understand for example a 20MP FX sensor has a larger area per pixel, which I have been told allows more light to be captured by each pixel, a very basic example would be me lining up 20 buckets, and then 20 test tubes to catch water and the buckets will catch more.
I realise the difference in focal length compared to DX, apparently more pleasing Bokeh, but what else is there? In an ideal world, I would like to continue to use the DX format as I will be buying lenses for my D3500, and in say a year or two when I feel I need to upgrade the body, I will go for something equivalent to the D500 as it would be a flagship camera I could afford without remortgaging the house.
Unless I would be better off buying FX glass to use on my D3500, and go for a lower end FX model when the time comes?
I would like to also say this is only to make conversation and something to think about- I do not feel my camera is inferior, or will use it less because it is not FX or 'pro'.
Thank you all, Conan.
