We used to ask ‘what camera gives you the best image quality?’ and the answer was inevitably – full frame. Some photographers are moving away from full frame digital SLRs and towards smaller, mirrorless camera systems. This camera has had some very positive reviews. Mitchell Kanashkevich has written an excellent article on this topic: Istanbul and My Review of Fuji X100S as has our own Valerie Jardin using the same camera.įurthermore, the new Fujifilm cameras such as the X-Pro 1 and X100S have garnered a lot of praise for their high image quality, with some reviewers saying it is on a par with that of full frame digital SLR cameras (there is more information on the science behind it here).

Let’s say you want to buy a durable, weatherproofed, Canon EOS camera, designed to handle everything a professional photographer could possibly throw at it – then you need the EOS-1D X. The top cameras in a manufacturer’s range are usually full frame.This is a benefit if you like to create photos with bokeh. For example, a photo taken at f/2.8 with an 85mm lens on a full frame camera has less depth-of-field than one taken at f2.8 on with a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera even though the field-of-view of both lenses is approximately the same.
