We've put together a handy buying guide for full frame mirrorless cameras! Read on to find out the answers to the most commonly asked questions when it comes to buying a full frame mirrorless camera.
Full-frame is a term which goes back to film cameras. It simply means that the image sensor is the same size as a traditional 35mm film. Until relatively recently, full-frame sensors were reserved for costly professional cameras, but now there's lots to choose from at a range of price points!
There are several advantages to a full frame camera. A bigger sensor will typically give you:
Possibly, but only if they're already full frame lenses, otherwise you won't be getting the advantage of having a full frame camera. It's also worth considering that whilst adapters are available, you may find that focussing is slower than with a "native" lens for that camera. They're good as a short term solution to help you transition without a huge outlay in one go, but long term you'd be best to trade them in and upgrade to the latest mirrorless lenses.
* Canon EF-S lenses can be used with this adapter, but the camera would only work in crop-sensor mode, so you'd not get the advantage of buying a full frame camera!
**Sony E mount lenses can be used on their FE (full frame) mount cameras, but the camera would only work in crop-sensor mode, so you'd not get the advantage of buying a full frame camera!
*You can use this mount to use Canon lenses and whilst most will work, the compatibility isn’t guaranteed so you may find autofocus is slow or missing entirely.
There are other 3rd party adapters available for other combinations, but we stock the ones we know work well and will give you the best results.
Yes! There's lots of great lenses available for full frame mirrorless cameras. Some are more affordable, some are even better lenses or lenses that simply don't exist in that camera brand's lens line-up. Choose from Samyang, Sigma, Tamron and ZEISS.
