![]() ![]() The obvious advantage of full-frame models is that their pixels are larger and can let in more light, so they capture better images at higher ISO sensitivities (low-light conditions) and produce less ‘digital noise’ (pixel distortion, grainy images). I believe that Pentax and Nikon both use the same crop-factor (1.5x) for their APS-C sensors, so any Nikon/Pentax APS-C crop-sensor models in this list should use sensor sizes of around a 24 x 16 mm versus around 22.5 x 15 mm for Canon APS-C models (crop factor = 1.6x). I have however included one reputable model from an alternative brand - the Pentax K-1 Mark II, which is a full-frame DSLR. Note that we do have a separate list for Canon DSLRs seeing as they’re such a dominant brand in this market. ![]() While I like to promote brand variety where suitable, nowadays, Nikon and Canon models dominate the DSLR market in terms of quality, with few other outside-brand models ever joining their ranks. Many of the models in the list I had to remove like the Fujifilm X-E3, Sony ILCE9 a9 and Sony a7R III were mirrorless cameras (not DSLRs), and I don’t know what they were doing here in the first place. It’s easy to confuse Digital SLRs with mirrorless cameras, and while these cameras can be relatively similar as they’re made for professionals (vs compact cameras made for the broader consumer market), the main difference is that DSLRs use a series of mirrors to provide an optical viewfinder, whereas mirrorless cameras use a digital viewfinder. And, we also maintain several sets of rankings for various camera accessories, like wireless flashes, gimbals and even shoulder rigs. If you know that some of the mid-grade picks lower down on this list are just not going to cut it for you, then you might want to hop over to our list of full-frame DSLRs. The D780 also includes the addition of anti-flicker functionality and Bluetooth connectivity. Both of these bodies use full-frame sensors, although the D780 does offer a slightly larger pixel count (25 megapixels compared to 24 megapixels), but the shutter in the D780 actuates in half the time of the D750 (1/8,000 second compared to 1/4,000 second), and its battery should last almost twice as long (2,260 shots compared to 1,230 shots). Our second new inclusion was the Nikon D780, which replaced the company’s D750 option. Its shutter's longevity has also been increased by 25%, and it now offers integrated wireless connectivity, allowing for conveniences like smartphone remote control. They both use the same 20-megapixel, full-frame sensor, but this new model boasts more than triple the focus points and double the battery life. Our first new addition was the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, a recent replacement for the company’s popular Mark II model from this line. Most of our choices on this list were still relevant selections for the category, representing a range of bodies aimed at both hobbyists and professionals, but there were a couple picks that we needed to swap out, in order to make room for upgraded models that have been released over the past year. ![]()
