Even the mighty GFX100 isn't really "full frame" by medium format standards it's 4.4 x 3.3 cm. This effect is immediately obvious in the example photos shown at the very beginning of the video.
#Apsc vs frame vs medium format full#
Unless you have spectacularly fast/expensive lenses for your APS-C system, for an equivalent field of view, you simply cannot get the same shallow DoF as digital full frame 35mm, digital full frame MF (which really isn't "full frame") or larger such as true full frame medium format like 6圆 or 6x7 film. This is indeed moot when the destination is Instagram or Facebook of course, but the modestly educated photographer knows that the sensor size also impacts focal length and therefore depth of field. The larger sensor with higher pixel count will have better tonal gradiation and lower noise. Given Fstoppers is a blog/site for "photographers", one would hope people reading this article have higher standards. The answer is an unequivocal "no" unless you have no intention of taking advantage of the MF camera's capabilities and your intended audience has low standards. Would you be able to identify the medium format images when placed side by side? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

If you’re interested in seeing how Branch went about the edit, be sure to check out his live stream. This short video from John Branch IV Photography heads out to try and create the same look from both cameras, and many would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the resulting images. By contrast, the mechanical shutter will give you 15 frames per second, with significantly more if you switch to electronic shutter, making it an excellent choice for fast-moving situations. As a result, you’d expect it to be a little sluggish when shooting out in the field, especially when compared to the nimble X-T4.īy contrast, the X-T4 - Fujifilm’s newest APS-C body - will cost you a mere $1,700 for a meager 26.1 megapixels from a sensor that measures a measly 23.5 x 15.6 mm and delivers files that measure a humble 6,240 x 4,160 pixels.

The Fujifilm GFX 100 is a $10,000, 102-megapixel beast of a camera delivering 11,648 x 8,736-pixel files from its 43.8 x 32.9 mm sensor.
