Pros

To be honest, there aren’t many pros for using a crop sensor camera. However, there are a few:

• Cost: Crop sensor cameras are typically less expensive than full frame cameras, making them a more budget-friendly option for real estate photographers.

• Size and Weight: Crop sensor cameras are usually smaller and lighter than full frame cameras, which makes them more portable and easier to carry around. Although with the adoption of mirrorless cameras, this is less and less true.

Cons

• Image Quality: The largest and most important con of crop sensor cameras is that they lack in overall image quality. This is not to say you can’t capture great real estate photos, but when compared to full frame sensors, they simply do not measure up.

• Limited Lens Options: While there are many lenses available for crop sensor cameras, the selection is generally not as wide as what is available for full frame cameras. And the overall quality of lenses tends to be better for full frame cameras.

• Worse ISO Performance: The smaller pixels on a crop sensor camera can also result in more noise as the ISO increases. This can be a problem for any shots in low light settings, which is somewhat common in real estate photography.
