    Hi, I have an EOS R with the 24-105mmF4 lens. Which is best , to use the in camera cropping system which reduces the sensor to an Aps-c format, or to use the full frame sensor and then enlarge the print. Which would give the best results, my thoughts are use the full frame format and then crop, but I could be wrong- often am

    The purpose of the in camera crop is for use with ef-s mount lenses is that right?
    If your talking general cropping I would crop in post where you have control over what is cropped.
    Cropping with your feet will yield the best resolution image. ;)

    I agree with johnsey, crop in post for much more control.
