It keeps freezing right after you say “…5 or 6 minutes”
=o)
Thank you! That actually made sense!
I asked the dude at my local camera shop to explain this and all he said was “Full frame is waaay better” LOL .. Thanks again
thanks, plays perfectly
change it to 480p and it should play.
The point and shoot camera I had prior to my D90 was a Kodak M1033 and just looked up its sensor size and it’s like 6.16 mm x 4.62 mm. With a sensor THAT tiny, and 10 effective MP, is that more of just a marketing ploy to get people to buy their cameras because most ppl are ignorant to the small sensor?
sorry this is unrelated to the video topic, but I would like to know if it is possible to buy an additional warranty for a camera? Like for Mac computers you can get an extended warranty and I would like to have one for my cam if possible. I thought you may know something about it
@tissa71 You can. I think it’s called a MACK warranty but it will only apply from the day of your invoice.

Thank you!!!
@rhddrifter86 i mean
@imbxxxxxxxxx Actually dude you have it backwards a square IS a rectangle but a rectangle isn’t always a square. Anyways, thanks for the vids I’m watching them while simultaneously taking a class at school. I feel like I have a leg up on everyone else. The only thing I don’t understand is how can you meter with a flash in manual mode? I’m using film so I really only have one chance lol
A matter of cost I believe. To make something hobbyists and beginners can afford that is still quality for professional work is the motive I believe.
Full frame sensors are more expensive by far and make heavier cameras altogether.
Thanks for this, I have always wondered about this, though Im still a little confused. Why do they do APSC sized sensors,why aren’t they all full size?
hi, i bought my first camera a at xmas. EOS450D. my question is: i’m looking to buy a superwide angle lens. with the crop sensor in my camera. would that mean, there wouldnt be as much crazy distortion towards the ends of the image because less of the the image is hitting the sensor?
oh ok, that makes sense. Its also worth mentioning that one way is backwards compatible but the other way is not. I dont remember which is which
The CMOS comes in both sizes. The 5D Mark ll has a full frame and the rebel series and the 7D have APSC. Most if the single digit designations such as the 5D and the 1D series’ have full frame but always check the specs to make sure. I hope this helps
what would CMOS senser be.. full or apsc?
I Adore your video, i really do.
