How to choose full frame camera or high-end camera

The term ‘full frame' refers to DSLR cameras with an image sensor the same size as a 35mm film frame.  Not every manufacturer has a full-frame camera in its lineup. Most people buy a camera with an APS-C image sensor, a little less than half the size of full-frame in terms of surface area. But there are advantages to getting a camera with a bigger sensor—including a larger, brighter viewfinder and the ability to create an extremely shallow depth of field with wide-aperture lenses.

A full-frame DSLR has significant advantages, which arise because the image sensor is larger than that in APS-C-format or micro-system models. Another advantage of full-frame sensors is that wide angle lenses are true wide angles. The smaller APS-C and Four Thirds-format sensors don't use the entire width of the image circle created by 35mm-format lenses. Physically larger image sensors lent one of two advantages. Firstly, the greater surface area of the sensor could be packed with more pixels, delivering higher-resolution images.

Arguably the biggest advantage of full-frame cameras is that they enable a shallower depth of field than APS-C bodies. That's vital for portrait and still-life photographers, who want to blur backgrounds and keep the foreground subject sharp.
