Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It means it doesn't have a crop factor!. You camera has the ability to show the whole picture (like a 35mm camera)!. Smaller DSLR's have smaller sensors!. In the case of the digital Rebels, it creates a crop factor of 1!.6x (it's like zooming in by 1!.6)!. For example, a 50mm lens can be placed on one of the digital Rebels, but it will act like an 80mm lens (50 x 1!.6 = 80)!. For more information, see Ken Rockwell's site on crop factors http://www!.kenrockwell!.com/tech/crop-fac!.!.!. BTW, your work is very B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!Www@QuestionHome@Com Being a professional, I would have thought those kinds of things would have been covered in your first two or three classes in photography!. As you get deeper into being a pro, you are going to find that being "technical" is a major part of the professional photographer equation!. Basically there are three sides to the professional photographer 1) Total control of the camera system you picked as your standard, 2) A good understanding of how to run a business 3) A unique style than makes your photography stand out from others!. In order to be able to provide clients with the images they need on demand, using the correct format camera for their specific needs (when do you need to use a 4x5 view camera and when is a digital camera appropriate) , you need all three of these skills!. If you are missing any one, your chances of have having a successful photography business that you will some time retire from is iffy to say the least!. Most successful pros have at least two years of photo education, two or three years of experience working as either an assistant to a pro or as a staffer for a company that has at least two photographers on their staff!. I would also have thought that when you wrote your business and marketing plan someone (like maybe SCORE) and did your P&L spreadsheet projection for 24 months, your advisor may have asked you for your capitalization budget and list of photo and business equipment you needWww@QuestionHome@Com Its a full frame!. It means the image sensor is the same size as a 35 mm (36x24 mm) film frame!. Heres a photo http://upload!.wikimedia!.org/wikipedia/co!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com oh dear how sad, full frame they mean your shooting with a 36x24mm or there abouts sized sensor as opposed to a 1!.5 crop sensor or 1!.6 or 1!.3, best wishes with your business aWww@QuestionHome@Com "Full Frame" means don't have to crop the photo's images,very easy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
