You need to get new friends The sensor that captures the image is smaller than a 35mm camera making it more affordable to by. I guess to be technical, the 35mm ("full frame") is actually a crop compared to a medium format (crazy expensive) . And the medium format is a crop too when compared to it's big brother. I've never had a problem shooting landscapes with a crop. It's more important to use the right lens for the job, and Canon has a good one.
