A cheap full-frame DSLR is still the sensible buy for budget photographers

Canon 5D III.

The internet is buzzing with large-format-related searches today. Full-frame DSLR is currently trending, as well as the Nikon Z5, which I’ve just written about. If you haven’t got the time to check that article out, I’ll give you the gist: the Nikon Z5 is an older camera – six years old in fact – but it's still a viable option in 2026 because it’s such a fantastic deal for a full-frame camera.

It’s currently available for $1,146.95 at B&H Photo and £789 at Wex Photo Video. But that’s still a lot of money to justify for some photographers, which I can only assume is why people are searching for full-frame DSLR cameras. It is important to note that full-frame shouldn’t be considered an entirely superior option to APS-C or Micro Four Thirds.
