Abstract
  
"Full frame photo cameras are a recurring theme in considerations about the best system camera for a given task. By full frame, we mean a camera with a full 24 mm x 36 mm sized capturing device. 

This paper tries to give general criteria to decide when a full frame camera would be the best option. As it turns out, there are a number of ambitious situations where full frame is indeed the most cost-efficient or only option. Whereas in other situations, a smaller sensor camera (e.g. a camera with a 1.5x-cropped frame of 16 mm x 24 mm APSC size) can be more cost efficient. This paper tries to quantify the corresponding regimes where one or the other format would be more appropriate."
