What APS-C means in practice

An APS-C sensor at 24.2MP sits between full-frame and Micro Four Thirds. Lenses frame about 1.5× tighter than the same focal length on full-frame, which works in your favour for reach and against you for wide-angle coverage. The smaller image circle is what lets APS-C bodies and lenses come in lighter than their full-frame equivalents.

Video and stabilisation

4K tops out at 30p, which covers standard delivery but leaves no room for slowing footage down. 10-bit recording internally means colour survives grading rather than banding when pushed. A log profile is available, which trades a flat-looking file for latitude in post.

In-body stabilisation steadies any lens mounted on it, including primes with no stabilisation of their own.
