Nikon D600 & Canon 6D - What is Full Frame Anyway?

2012-09-17
hey guys this is Austin and today I'm he was the video talking a little bit about the Canon EOS 6d the nikon d600 and what exactly is a full-frame camera anyway take a look around you wasn't likely you're going to find some kind of camera so whether it's going to be a webcam the phone in your camera maybe a compact camera or even something like a ten-thousand-dollar DSLR what all these do is use the lens to gather in light and turn it into something you can actually use such as a picture or video say you have a point and shoot camera and pull out the sensor what you're going to find is something that's almost ten times smaller than even what you will find in a micro four thirds camera the same comparison is valid if you take a look at a full-frame camera compared to even a normal DSLR what you're going to find is the sensor is almost going to be twice as big on a so-called full-frame camera but what does all this mean we'll put quite simply size matters generally the bigger the service area of the sensor the more light it can gather so this can be great for low-light photography but it also has other benefits and neither is depth of field this is a very popular effect which will get most of an image out of focus but only a certain amount of it in for example my face is in focus but the wall behind me isn't there are other factors to keep in mind for example the lens is very important however in general if you want the best depth of field you're going to need to get a big sensor DSLR which brings us back to the nikon d600 and canon 6d the reason these are such a big deal is that they do have full-frame sensors crop sensor DSLR cameras that have sensors roughly half the size of full front cameras are actually fairly affordable general you can find them for as low as 500 dollars before now if you want full frame it was going to cost you so for example the nikon d800 is going to run you three thousand dollars it only goes up from there so that's what are the d600 and the 60 come in both of these are going to be starting at 2100 dollars still a lot of money but a lot better than paying three thousand dollars plus on paper both of these cameras have what it takes so the DC extender is going to be rocking 24 megapixels and the 60 has 20.2 both have some cool features as well so for example the d600 seems to be focused just a little bit more on video so for example of course you have 1080p video but you also do have uncompressed HDMI out which can be a big deal if you're actually wanting to use it professionally and on top of that you also have microphone and headphone out for monitoring again a huge deal the 60 also has some cool features so in addition to movie mode which is pretty much standard for DSLRs these days this has Wi-Fi and GPS built in a first for a DSLR both cameras look solid but I shoot an icon so I definitely got my eye on the d600 and in fact if you guys are interested more I'll have it a little bit later on this week anyway guys hopefully you learned something about cameras and also you like the new style of video not sure if it is actually going to stick or not but I figured hey it's worth a shot anyway if you enjoy definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up if you're interested in my nikon d600 coverage be sure to click on right over here anyway guys I will catch you next time
