APS-C camera for wedding backup camera?

1 year 1 month ago #749801 by Joslyn
My main camera is a full frame R6, but now shopping around for a second body and budget has a hand on this one.  So keep pointing to a APS-C camera for the second body.  Now the downside is the lens situation.  Or can I use my lenses from Canon full frame on APS-C body and be OK?

Provided they have the same mount, yes, you can use the same lens. The photo will be cropped due to the smaller sensor size but it does work. If the aps-c camera is also mirrorless then the focal will be the same too.

You can use your 'Full Frame' lenses on an APS-C R50 just fine.

In fact, your R6 is a 20MP camera, while the R50 is a 24MP camera, and since an APS-C body will capture the best part of the images projected by your 'Full Frame' lenses, you're likely to capture better images with an R50 than you will with your R6.
