There is a lot of debate back and forth about just how important sensor size is in photography. And with professional-level camera and lens lines available in Micro Four Thirds, APS-C, full frame, and medium format, you might wonder which is right for your work. This great video compares APS-C to medium format for landscape photography, and you might be surprised by just how well the smaller sensor holds up.
Coming to you from Mark Denney, this fantastic video comparison pits the Fujifilm X-T4 APS-C mirrorless camera against the GFX 100S medium format mirrorless camera. No doubt, the larger medium format sensor is superior to the APS-C sensor, but the interesting thing here is just how well the smaller sensor holds up and what that means for the landscape photographer’s needs. More resolution and dynamic range are always welcomed, of course, but the balance of portability and cost must be considered as well, and unless you are creating ultra-large prints or simply want the absolute best available image quality, the X Series’ abilities look to be more than enough for the vast majority of landscape photographers, and you can take the money you saved to invest in lenses, a second body, or on travel to a location you have been wanting to shoot! Check out the video above for Denney’s full thoughts.
