Background blur
Background blur where your subject leaps out at the viewer
Larger sensors give more control over the amount of background blur because longer focal lengths are accommodated when the distance from the subject and the angle of view are the same. Larger sensors can therefore offer shallower depths of field for creating beautiful background blurs that add a greater sense of depth to photos. What’s more, Canon’s 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor lets you discover all the angles with large-diameter EF lenses to get just the photo effect you want.
