Full-frame v. crop sensors : A comparison

[480sparky]

OK, so for beginners, that still does not mean very much. Their question would be which is better and why? Looking at photos side by side, full frame does not always come out on top in sharpness and detail, so why buy a 20 meg full frame and not a 20 meg crop body for example?

It doesn't address the differences between an aluminum tripod and a carbon fiber one either. Nor does it answer Guide Number questions. Or raw v. jpeg.

Well, the ONLY comparison (per your title) for a lot of photographers is WHAT does this mean for choosing full frame or crop frame camera for purchase?
