Full frame cameras offer a large sensor that offers the optimal balance between maximum resolution and noise reduction. In addition, a full-frame sensor usually also has a higher dynamic range and more leeway in terms of depth of field. Another decisive difference to the classic digital camera with, for example, the APS-C sensor is the lack of the crop factor (reading tip: What is a crop factor?).
And these are just a few of the points that speak in favor of a full-frame camera. However, this type of camera also has some disadvantages. The models are often very large, although the market is changing here. Cameras like the Sony Alpha 7C can still be considered compact.
The biggest disadvantage, however, is probably the price: 4,000 euros and more are not uncommon for full-frame cameras. High-end devices like the Sony Alpha 1 even cost around 7,000 euros. But here, too, the market is moving, so that you can get full-frame cameras for the price of a good compact camera. We present the most interesting models for less than 2,000 euros in the following table.
