[QUOTE="Texas, post: 660318, member: 42267"] Full frame: you can crop out (throw away) 3/4ths of you picture, then blow it up large and still have a good one. And by some magic, even with the same amount of light per pixel arriving at the sensor as a crop-frame camera, they are more sensitive and less noisy in low light / no flash photography. Disadvantages are cost and the larger RAW files and need for full frame lenses to get the most out of them. Full frame is fun if you want to own the very best especially for landscape work. In my case, for family, event, and general picture making full frame is over kill for me. Best advice I can give for a first camera for an inexperienced person is to find one that feels good in their hand and is not too expensive to take out and use even in hectic situations. Support for a good flash that can be used for bounce and off-camera would be high on my list. "Growing" into using the more advanced features will take hundreds of hours of learning and experimenting. It's big fun but you do have to enjoy putting in the time. I'd also like to know the percentage of moms/dads that move into shooting RAW family photos with all that it requires. Bet it is pretty low. [/QUOTE]
