“Full Frame Equivalence” and Why It Doesn’t Matter

But that was the point -- he is arguing:

A) You must look at equivalent generation cameras, you can’t just say FF has "X" advantage, because the vast majority of FF cams out rthere do not -- they are older generation. That's a major point he was making.

B) The 1 2/3 advantage is there -- but it is not there for every FF cam. But most importantly, the relationship is not linear -- it is not 2x or 4xz or whatever.

I thought it was a very balanced piece; I particularly liked how he pointed out when the light equivalence argument became prominent.

Cheers, geoff
