Perhaps the biggest advantage of going full-frame is image quality. Don't get us wrong though – these are still very capable cameras that can achieve some brilliant results, while Sony's Alpha A7 III is even better, delivering top quality images with a performance to rival cameras costing quite a bit more. These DSLRs both offer full-frame sensors, but don't have quite the same ultra-rugged build and top-line performance as their stablemates. Not everyone wants (or can afford) all of these advanced features, which is why we've seen some relatively affordable full-frame cameras in recent years, with the likes Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Nikon D750 springing to mind. Because full-frame cameras are primarily aimed at professionals and keen enthusiasts, there's a certain expectation as to the level of performance, features and build that these cameras should have, which again all comes at a price. For starters, the added production cost of the bigger sensors (and the lower volume of production) is one area that forces cost up.
