The Ultimate RAW Showdown: Full Frame vs Medium Format

Full Frame vs Medium Format RAW Files: Can You Spot the Difference?

When comparing RAW files straight out of a full-frame camera and a medium format camera, the differences might surprise you-it's not always easy to tell them apart at first glance! In this video, we dive deep into the RAW files from these two camera systems and uncover why they appear so similar initially and where the real distinctions begin to emerge.

We'll explore:
📷 The initial look at RAW files and why they seem so alike.
📷 The science behind medium format's superior color depth and dynamic range.
📷 Full-frame RAW strengths and how they compete with medium format.
📷 What happens when you start editing: discovering differences in detail, tonal transitions, and flexibility.

While RAW files can look nearly identical straight out of the camera, post-processing is where the medium format's advantages, like richer color gradations and extended dynamic range, truly come to life. Full-frame cameras are no slouch, though-they often hold their ground in sharpness and overall usability.

If you're a photographer deciding whether to upgrade to medium format or stick with full-frame, or you're simply curious about the hidden capabilities of each format, this detailed comparison will give you insights to help you make an informed choice.

💡 Spoiler Alert: The true potential of a RAW file isn't just in the capture-it's in how far you can push it when editing!
