I was going to keep my D7500 and just get another body. A full frame one.
I'm sorry I don't understand what you are saying here: "Edit: I stared on FF with a D700 a couple of years ago, f you're curious "

Full size sensors are really good for wildlife (Can't use a crop with telephotos, I don't think), fast moving subjects, and macro. If I were going in to portrait, I would have went with the 24mp. With Sony, the A7III actually has slightly better low light/ISO performance than the A7rIII. It's not much, but I have noticed it. It's a result of the above, if I remember correctly. I use a flash for most of my macro, so no big deal. AF performance was my top priority in relation to mirrorless, and the a9 is just too far out of reach for my wallet.
Actually many wildlife photographers prefer crop sensor cameras for sports, action and wildlife. The full frame has an advantage in low light but the crop sensor has an advantage in angle of view for wildlife.Troponin wrote: Don't forget that full frame has different phase detection arrangement/points, which affect AF performance as well as light capabilities.

I will say this and not trying to be a smart azz. If you don't know what your missing by having a full frame for the type of images you make, then you don't need one. If you need full frame you will know why your camera is failing you and your requirements.Chase Audate wrote: Roll out the newbie jokes! I just signed up here.
Moderators, I'm not sure where to post this question, so if this isn't the right place, feel free to move it. I got started in photography a few years ago. I have a Nikon D7500 right now and have been spending time working on pano's. I'm not great, but I've learned a lot.
I read a few boards and see many of you talking about your full frame cameras, and this got me thinking should I make the jump to full frame. Honestly the D7500 works just fine for me. No issues, however being new compared to many of you, I know there is plenty I don't know. So if full frame will unknowing to me, unlock new opportunities, I would want to know.
When did you move to full frame?

Not sure why you thought telephoto lenses can't be used on crop sensor cameras. Telephoto has nothing to do with compatibility. In my opinion I think the work better on crop sensor cameras since they only use the sweet part (center) of the glass.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say but if you are saying crop sensor cameras can't use full frame telephoto lenses, that is completely wrong. I used to use a Nikon full frame 80-400 lens on my m43 camera. The size of the sensor doesn't matter as long as it is the same or a smaller format than the lens is made for. The issue is when trying to use crop lenses on larger formats. I may be misunderstanding what you are saying and if I am I apologize.Troponin wrote:

I tried to edit my post, but it was timed out. I meant full frame telephoto lenses are out with a crop sensor, but then it might not have been relevant.
