Full Frame, please explain

[Paul11]

i was thinking of moving to full frame at some point and then read the 5d vs 40d and many arguments for the 40d

what is the real benefits of going full frame , apart from getting the full mm of the lens which i guess means you get wider angles..

Am i missing something..... are there any other reasons to go full frame?

What type of things do you take photos of?

quite varied. experimenting with a bit of everything.

messing around with macro at the moment.

Thinking to get a 10-20 for some wideangle scenery, especially for holidays/travel.

but mainly portraits, and practising to do weddings.

 

[Paul11]

it all depends on the cost i suppose.

anyone have any idea what the 5d mk2 (or whatever they calling it) is likely to cost?

otherwise would a 40d would be a sensible upgrade from a 20d ?

i just cant see the benefits in real terms of going full frame.

Bear in mind that with a crop camera, you only get to capture the centre of the image delivered by high quality L-glass. For wide-angle, you have to resort to the EF-S lenses.
