Honestly I would always go full-frame if I can afford it. The staying power of APS-C seems to just be a price-based competition between the big players. Full-frames have gotten sufficiently petite as well, and at the end of the day simply offer more and less noisy resolution.
- foldr 4y agoAPS-C lenses will always be cheaper (if only because less physical material is required), so that's also a significant consideration. The difference in noise levels between ~50MP full frame sensors and ~24MP APS-C sensors is also pretty small. For example, here's a comparison between a D5600 and a Z9 at ISO 3200: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=daylight&attr13_0=nikon_d5600&attr13_1=nikon_z9&attr13_2=apple_iphonex&attr13_3=apple_iphonex&attr15_0=raw&attr15_1=raw&attr15_2=jpeg&attr15_3=jpeg&attr16_0=3200&attr16_1=3200&attr16_2=32&attr16_3=32&normalization=full&widget=1&x=0.8630521652831726&y=-0.22683068290092664 https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=day... If low noise is your main concern, you'll be paying an enormous premium for a very small difference. I'd say the only reason to go full frame is if you have a lot of existing FF lenses, or if you really need 50MP or higher resolutions.
