Full frame v APS for sports/action photography

I find that photographer's comments interesting. It seems to me that things are a bit more complicated.

If you use the same (FF) lens on an FF and an APS-C camera, you will indeed have more cropping potential on the FF camera. The angle of view will be greater.
But this assumes that you have enough pixels after cropping for your purposes. In his case, there isn't much difference in megapixels, but I assume he still has enough (22 MP) for what he wanted.

(I'm looking forward to trying the K-1 when it arrives, at the same places with the same lenses where I've used the K-3II, for exactly this reason).

But suppose you use so-called "equivalent" lenses on the two cameras, giving the same field of view on both. The cropping argument now disappears, but you have two systems with significantly different size/weight/price differences. Or if you use the same lens, and the sensors have about the same number megapixels, you have extra reach on the APS-C camera.

I believe that to form a judgement about whether you should use FF or APS-C for sports/action photography, you need to be more specific about lenses and megapixels. It isn't as simple as FF versus APS-C.

Yesterday I started the following thread elsewhere to discuss precisely this matter!
